Once again, our pitching coach is Henry Jekyll. Today’s Nomo
is tomorrow’s Igawa. I heard over the weekend that we signed former Met John
Maine. I just didn’t expect him to put on Phil Hughes’ uniform and throw a game
so soon.
From the Loew’s Broadcast Booth, The Master reminds us twice per inning that it’s amazing that
the Yankees are only two out, considering how badly we've played. And he’s right. It’s amazing. But we have
yet to answer one central question:
And are we the team that builds on winning streaks - that is,
loses a game and then starts winning again – or are we the team that follows a
five-win burst with five straight losses?
OK, I know what you’re thinking: “Jeepers-shucks, Duque, just hold another International Juju
Intervention, so we’ll launch another five-game streak. Twenty IJI’s, and that’s
100 wins - home field advantage.”
Listen, you can’t just run an IJI every time you break a
nail. Nor can you squander critical juju reserves in May. This stuff doesn’t just grow
on trees. The IJI is a break-glass-in-case-of-fire juju weapon. It is dangerous.
We damn near lost Grandy and Swish last night in the kind of collision that
would have had bad juju written all over it. Running an IJI is like handlng hydrocloric acid. You can get burned.
We must save our juju guns for August and September.
Last night? My bad. I went to bed too soon.
Should have stayed up. But WTF with Hughes? How many John Maines does a team need? By my count, we already have 10.

I'm expecting 5 straight losses.
We are closer to last place than to first.
You do realize that by your monetazation of Juju, the Giants super bowl victory that you're living as a javelin throwing village of the glass encased neverworld.
You just said exactly what we're all thinking, Samy.
