'Baseball Images That Precede Unfortunate Events' is the Best New Account on Twitter

Baseball fans have taken to all corners of the internet to get their MLB fix, after Opening Day was indefinitely postponed, and gatherings of 50+ were restricted until mid-May, at least.
And while MLB.com has opened its video archives in a major way to help satisfy the request, there's one brand-new spot that fans of all ages can go to play a little memory game, as well as troll their enemies about their misfortune.
Welcome to "Baseball Images That Proceed Unfortunate Events," featuring broadcast screenshots from the exact seconds before the game changed forever -- for the worse, for 50% of the fanbases pictured. For example, hey, Dodgers fans! Remember this one?
Matt Stairs' 2008 two-run dinger is a memory all Phillies fans will cherish forever, but for the LAD, it was certainly...well, unfortunate.
What about this?
The very second before A-Rod slapped the baseball out of Bronson Arroyo's glove, making it all too clear the Yankees really were doomed in 2004.
And yes, the posts on this beautiful time-wasting account really are endless.
Yup, just before Jonathan Papelbon choked the best player on his team!
Just before Fitty went juuuuuuuuusssst a bit outside.
And, of course, we've got the official end of the Yankees' dynasty, when Derek Jeter's leg fell victim to a bone bruise gone bad.
Yikes.
If you love to troll, or simply love to remember the game's most iconic moments based on a screenshot alone, this is the place for you during trying times.
