Maybe Joe Pierla will play the hero tonight.
Jacoby Ellsbury CF
Brett Gardner LF
Alex Rodriguez DH
Mark Teixeira 1B
Brian McCann C
Chris Young RF
Chase Headley 3B
Didi Gregorius SS
Jose Pirela 2B
It’s Chase Whitley. C’mon, Hoss.
Never mind a losing streak:
Let’s Go Yank-ees!

Another beautiful hit by Ellsbury.
Shades of Mattingly.
I'm down for a win tonight. Good work, Snozzberry. Go Yankees!
I am ridiculous
A first inning bunt?
The Yankees are having trouble scoring more than two runs.
Why, then, is Brett sacrificing in the first inning?
Man, Alex, cut that shit down!
That was the longest swing I've ever seen in my life!
What is this bullshit about Babe Ruth's RBIs???
If they know he drove in 113 runs before the stats became official, he has 113 more RBIs. And rbi is an rbi...period.
Shite!
Dammit, Mark just missed it.
Brett shouldn't have bunted and Alex shouldn't have struck out.
That was a horse shit inning.
I don't want to lose this game.
That's not good.
Oh God.
How many fucking wild pitches do we need to see?
Here's the thing, I just don't want to wake up and find this team has lost 7 of 10 or some shit.
Rally and split this fucking series.
I've grown accustomed to winning.
[14] I second this frustrated and profane sentiment.
Holy shit show!
Oh, for FUCK'S SAKE!
See???
This sloppy-ass shit is just KILLING me!
DON'T GO BACKWARDS!
Where the hell was that throw Brian?
Uh oh
Because of course, why not have an injury?
Jesus.
Jesus Jesus Jesus.
Dammit. Get well soon, Chase. : (
I don't mean to kick and scream like a spoiled brat or anything but I just *really* don't want to see the wheels fall off.
I couldn't bear it.
Just forfeit this game. Too much bad juju tonight. Fly to KC and get in early so everyone gets a good night's sleep.
God! Meredith is jinxing him!
She referred to his "having gone down!"
He hasn't gone down! He was pulled from the game! What does she know that we don't?
Oh, mother of God.
Jesus.
See? Bad juju.
Sweet. What was that guy hitting. Oh. .126. Extra fucking fantastic. Mother fucker!
God, and it's only the bottom of the second? I swear to God I'm shocked by that. I'd have sworn it was the fifth or so.
[26] No, JuJu is wonderful music from Nigeria, this is an apocalypse of injuries and bad luck. I feel for Rogers there..but big that pitch was a meatball
[28] May be hoops time soon.
[29] did not know that. Always heard it as shorthand for voodoo.
Do do that JuJu that you do so well.
Pathetic ABs
[31] I know, me too. Growing up with awfully mistaken/culturally distorted views of African culture, we always associate things like voodoo with bad luck, etc. somehow dark and evil, but that's not the case. As for JuJu music, it's awesome! Features freaky,wonderful guitars and talking drums. Check it out!
I don't think I can stomach this any longer.
[34] Thanks for the tip, my friend.
Like this?

I can't believe he made that play.
Jesus.
Wow. Great play.
Yeah. It really was.
[34] maybe you can do a guest post here highlighting JuJu.
[37] Yes! The Chief is a legend. Also check out the Admiral https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBzs7SqeTq8
[41] I'd love to, maybe in the offseason? Let's ask Alex.
Juju is Yoruba music, so many different styles in Nigeria including Juju, Fuji, Afrobeat and Highlife, which comes from Ghana but the Igbo people of Nigeria began playing it too. Nothing I like more than talking African music!
Per lohud, "elbow issue" for Chase. Not going to end well.
Hey one of them hit thingies!
[42] :)
[43] Of course. Ugh.
[42] Most of the other arts are covered here, why not you and the alarmist for music.
I admire your grit, Brett, but please, don't kill yourself in a 5-0 game.
Blegh. Night all.
I adore highlife music!
But I am not an alarmist! My screen name combines themis (10th moon of Saturn) and Lars. There's no "the" in it. Thelarmis, like Thelonious : )
