Last night the Yankees pulled another miracle win against the Twins.\u00a0 I don’t believe in a jinx, but I do believe there comes a time that CONFIDENCE gets shattered.\u00a0 The Yankees have defeated the Twins 23 out of 25 games in Yankee Stadium since 2002.\u00a0 That is 92%!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This year they have won 4-5 games in the last at-bat.\u00a0 Last night, in game two of the playoffs, the Twins lost in 12 innings.\u00a0 They got robbed with an obvious missed call that turned a Twins double into a foul ball.\u00a0 But the Twins still had the bases loaded with 0 out.\u00a0 They still couldn’t score.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 I am not really anti-Yankee.\u00a0 But I like the logo.\u00a0 I just feel so bad for Minnesota.\u00a0 It is embarrassing.\u00a0 So how does it come to this point that one team dominates the other so much?\u00a0 This has been ongoing for seven years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I believe the Twins lack the belief that they can win, and then when small things go against them, they view it as some omen that they are going to lose.\u00a0\u00a0 It is all over their expressions.\u00a0 It is all over their attitude.\u00a0 It is a cancer and almost impossible to break.\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Almost impossible.\u00a0 There are many examples in sports of one team dominating the other and then finally a break through.\u00a0 The Red Sox came back down 3-0 in games to the Yankees and stormed back to go to the World Series, then they swept the Cardinals.\u00a0 The jinx was lifted and Boston has been better since.\u00a0 In college football, Michigan State has won two in a row verses Michigan for the first time in almost 40 years!<\/p>\n

I thought this post was leading me to some profound answer as to how teams can overcome this rut.\u00a0 But I can’t.\u00a0 There is no magic bullet.\u00a0 But CONFIDENCE must be restored.\u00a0 CONFIDENCE comes from within.\u00a0 So, it will be up to each member to reach inside and believe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Believe in yourself first.\u00a0 If you do, others will believe in you.\u00a0 If you don’t believe in yourself, why should others?<\/p>\n

I expect the Twins will continue to be dominated by the Yankees.\u00a0 It’s sad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
