Getting Even

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.

2 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 14, 2015 6:12 pm

I'm down for a win tonight. Good work, Snozzberry. Go Yankees!

3 rbj   ~  May 14, 2015 6:12 pm

I am ridiculous

4 rbj   ~  May 14, 2015 6:12 pm

A first inning bunt?

5 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 6:12 pm

The Yankees are having trouble scoring more than two runs.

Why, then, is Brett sacrificing in the first inning?

6 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 6:13 pm

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.

8 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 14, 2015 6:20 pm

Shite!

9 rbj   ~  May 14, 2015 6:20 pm

Dammit, Mark just missed it.

10 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 6:20 pm

Brett shouldn't have bunted and Alex shouldn't have struck out.

That was a horse shit inning.

11 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 6:26 pm

I don't want to lose this game.

12 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 14, 2015 6:31 pm

That's not good.

13 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 6:31 pm

Oh God.

How many fucking wild pitches do we need to see?

14 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 6:32 pm

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.

15 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 14, 2015 6:47 pm

[14] I second this frustrated and profane sentiment.

16 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 14, 2015 6:53 pm

Holy shit show!

17 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 6:53 pm

Oh, for FUCK'S SAKE!

See???

This sloppy-ass shit is just KILLING me!

DON'T GO BACKWARDS!

18 rbj   ~  May 14, 2015 6:53 pm

Where the hell was that throw Brian?

19 rbj   ~  May 14, 2015 6:54 pm

Uh oh

20 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 6:54 pm

Because of course, why not have an injury?

Jesus.

Jesus Jesus Jesus.

21 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 14, 2015 6:55 pm

Dammit. Get well soon, Chase. : (

22 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 6:55 pm

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.

23 rbj   ~  May 14, 2015 6:59 pm

Just forfeit this game. Too much bad juju tonight. Fly to KC and get in early so everyone gets a good night's sleep.

24 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 6:59 pm

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?

25 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 6:59 pm

Oh, mother of God.

Jesus.

26 rbj   ~  May 14, 2015 7:00 pm

See? Bad juju.

27 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 14, 2015 7:00 pm

Sweet. What was that guy hitting. Oh. .126. Extra fucking fantastic. Mother fucker!

28 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 7:01 pm

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.

29 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 14, 2015 7:03 pm

[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

30 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 14, 2015 7:04 pm

[28] May be hoops time soon.

31 rbj   ~  May 14, 2015 7:08 pm

[29] did not know that. Always heard it as shorthand for voodoo.

32 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 7:11 pm

Do do that JuJu that you do so well.

33 rbj   ~  May 14, 2015 7:12 pm

Pathetic ABs

34 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 14, 2015 7:18 pm

[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!

35 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 7:31 pm

I don't think I can stomach this any longer.

36 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 7:32 pm

[34] Thanks for the tip, my friend.

37 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 7:35 pm
38 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 7:38 pm

I can't believe he made that play.

Jesus.

39 Ara Just Fair   ~  May 14, 2015 7:38 pm

Wow. Great play.

40 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 7:39 pm

Yeah. It really was.

41 rbj   ~  May 14, 2015 7:45 pm

[34] maybe you can do a guest post here highlighting JuJu.

42 Mr OK Jazz Tokyo   ~  May 14, 2015 7:52 pm

[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!

43 rbj   ~  May 14, 2015 7:53 pm

Per lohud, "elbow issue" for Chase. Not going to end well.

44 rbj   ~  May 14, 2015 7:56 pm

Hey one of them hit thingies!

45 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 7:57 pm

[42] :)

[43] Of course. Ugh.

46 rbj   ~  May 14, 2015 8:10 pm

[42] Most of the other arts are covered here, why not you and the alarmist for music.

47 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 14, 2015 8:16 pm

I admire your grit, Brett, but please, don't kill yourself in a 5-0 game.

48 rbj   ~  May 14, 2015 8:28 pm

Blegh. Night all.

49 thelarmis   ~  May 14, 2015 9:04 pm

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 : )
