Is it already time for an International Juju Intervention?

In case you have missed the news, the Yankees are 0-2, but nobody's panicking, because they're only home losses against the Redsocks, and - hey - we lost our first three games last year, and look how great that turned out!

Well... by the Hoary Hosts of Hughes, it may be time for the Yankiverse to take action: AN INTERNATIONAL JUJU INTERVENTION.

On May 21, 2012, this website launched last season's first International Juju Intervention - a humanitarian rescue mission-type event, in which fans across the globe stormed their TVs simultaneously to transmit Higgs-Rizzutonic particles into the astral substrata - oh, crap, I don't want to get so technical that only Harvard-trained baristas and comic book characters can understand it; this is a Yankeefan blog, which means it needs to be comprehended by beagles. Want to understand the intervention? See the video!



The Intervention saved last season. I'm not lying about this. I don't lie about things like juju. We went 9-3 and then 20-4 after the Intervention. You can look it up. Later, in August, after another Intervention, we went 10-3.

Unfortunately, as the season droned on, so did our collective juju. Our playoff juju interventions failed miserably. Apparently, some unknown cap determines the amount of single-season juju a team can conjure. You can go to the well once too often - like Don Imus making jokes about "hoes." We're studying this.

So here we are: Is it already time to put on our juju shoes? Another few losses, and get ready, everybody. WE CANNOT LET THIS SEASON FLY OUT THE WINDOW IN APRIL. A FEW MORE LOSSES, AND THE STEINBROTHERS ARE LIKELY TO START MAKING TERRIBLE TRADES, WHICH COULD PUT THIS FRANCHISE IN THE COOLER FOR A DECADE. IT MAY BE TIME FOR US TO DROP OUR FIRST JUJU BOMB. Stay tuned.
