Who (outside of everyone ever) could have seen that coming? Share this story Photo by Mark Makela/Getty Images When I reflect upon the things I sometimes say, I often have regrets. I recognize the error of my ways, even if it may be too soon after last night to use the word “error.” I, like most of you, I presume, hold to some pretty hard and fast principles, like not becoming a degenerate gambler (at least not with stakes large enough to alter my or my family’s lifestyle). If I were a degenerate gambler willing to bet everything, the house, the car, and even my neighbor’s stuff, I’d now have doubled my net worth based on last night’s performance. The Yankees came into the game having lost 10 of their last 13. The Twins came in on a two-game win streak (which, granted is less a streak, than a fully clothed jog, but nevertheless, it was improvement.) The betting lines when I looked before the game were -110 for each team.
