Official IT IS HIGH Yankee In-Game Juju Gods Love Thread


For the record: There is no way we can win tonight. (Game time: 7:09 p.m.)
Look at that power-packed Cubs lineup. We don't belong on the same field. Forget it. We're done. It's over. Let us simply try to help each other.

Agree. We can't beat this team. We should thank the juju gods just for letting us play.

AGREED..... THE MIRACLE CAME YESTERDAY, 2 IN A ROW?... NO SHOT.

BTW...... I SAW WHERE THE POPE HAS SAID NO BOMB SHOULD BE DESCRIBED AS "MOTHER".
WE MAY HAVE TO RENAME HIM...... HOLD THE PRESSES ON THE CURRENT T-SHIRT, (ALTHOUGH I REALLY, REALLY LIKE THAT SHIRT)....

Unknown said...

This yankee team is garbage. I say let's petition the juju gods to allow us to watch the cubs scrimmage against themselves. Maybe we can learn something.

OK, I'm holding onto my ankles and kissing the ground. What do I do next? Or should I go for a more aggressive posture?

el duque said...

I like the five runs, but Judge looked bad on those cuurves. NOT GOOD ENOUGH, JUJU GODS, WE WANT MORE!

NICE!....BUT YOU JUST KNEW CARTER WOULDN'T GET THAT 6TH RUN IN, RIGHT DUQUE?

WE NEED "THE FULL MONTY" TO COME UP BIG HERE.....

Leinstery said...

I don't have faith in Montgomery. Looks good for the first two batters, starts giving up bombs. That's his game plan. He also likes going to 3-ball counts too much.

Anonymous said...

THE FULL MONTY....3 UP, 3 DOWN....NICE.
MORE RUNS!

MONTGOMERY HAS GIVEN US A LEGITIMATE SHOT TO WIN EVERY GAME HE HAS PITCHED IN SO FAR THIS SEASON......HE HAS BEEN BETTER THAN AVERAGE, AND CONSISTENT IN EVERY START.

SMOLTZ JUST SAID SOMETHING ABOUT US BEING A STRONG FACTOR IN OCTOBER...WHOA!

6-0 !

Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside said...

Honey, you have a little smoltz on your face.

MAYBE SO, BUT IT'S 8-0, AND THE FULL MONTY IS THROWING STRIKES.
THIS KID IS SOOOO MUCH MORE RELIABLE THAN CC.... IT ISN'T EVEN CLOSE.

THAT DIDI ERROR ALMOST SUNK US.
WE WERE OUT OF THE INNING.
MONTGOMERY HAS SOME MOXIE, HE LIMITED THE DAMAGE.
8-2 .

We need that girl dressed in white to stand up in the stands so that Aarons Hobbs judge can hit the scoreboard

el duque said...

Judge needs to catch up to one of those fastballs. Damn, oh for four.

Stang said...

Starting to wonder if Judge can function with Sanchez in the lineup. Does the elephant fear the mouse?

Anonymous said...

NOT JUDGE'S NIGHT TONIGHT, BUT I AM LIKING SANCHEZ IN THAT 5 SPOT, BEHIND HIM.

13bit said...

it's just one game. judge is fine. pass the KY

Local Bargain Jerk said...


Judge isn't helping tonight but there's so much else to like about this game...

Stang said...

it's just one game. judge is fine.

Two games!

el duque said...

This game thread thingy works. Unless it's a trap.

ANOTHER QUALITY START BY THE FULL MONTY... THIS KID HAS HELPED SAVE THIS ROTATION.

ranger_lp said...

Hicks looks like a HOFer tonight....

el duque said...

Could we have been celebrating the wrong Aaron?

Anonymous said...

I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH AARON HICKS.
HE WAS SO AWFUL LAST YEAR...... I HOPE IT ISN'T "PAPI-JUICE" HE'S USING, CAUSE THIS ISN'T THE SAME GUY.
FUCK IT, THIS IS GREAT.

el duque said...

Uh oh. Layne.

This game is not safe.

Anonymous said...

......AND THE REF IS AT 2ND!
UH O.... TRIPLE.

ranger_lp said...

Can we make a move with Layne before the trading deadline? Geez....

el duque said...

Juju gods, must we go through this every time Layne pitches?

Leinstery said...

Does this happen every damn time with Layne. He gets thrown in there to eat some innings in a blowout and he can't get out of the inning. What a fucking bum. And Refsnyder, there's a reason why he has been passed over for so long. It's because he's terrible.

ranger_lp said...

At least we have a real defensive 2B in there now....

Anonymous said...

THAT WAS A PRETTY SCARY ERROR BY REFSNYDER...WOW.
....ITS UNBELIEVABLE HOW OUR "SECONDARY" GUYS IN THE BULLPEN JUST CAN'T GET THE OUTS IN THE 8TH AND 9TH INNINGS....IT ALMOST NEVER FAILS.

Joe of AZ said...

Someone must erase Layne's name from governor binders book of "reliable"relievers I'd rather have the Scranton shuttle up in there

Anonymous said...

11-6 FINAL
NICE JOB BY WARREN.

SWISHALICIOUS DOING THE POST GAME WITH HUMP ROD!

Leinstery said...

Notice how Joe put Torreyes in there for the 9th. Hope you had fun Ref, back to the minors.

Anonymous said...

YEAH.... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED WITH REFSNYDER..... THEY CRUSHED HIM 2 YEARS AGO AT THE HEIGHT OF HIS CONFIDENCE..... HE'S RUINED.... HE DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE A HITTER ANYMORE EITHER......

Leinstery said...

I'm not sure he was anything to begin with. You have to remember that he came up during the dark days of Stephen Drew and his .187 BA, at that point we were desperate to believe anybody they had in their system was legitimate enough to supplant him. I think all of the potential most of you saw in him was wishful thinking.

Outside of that homerun in Boston, at no point was I impressed with his hitting, and his glove was pretty much always a granite slab.

Stang said...

Is it too early to say I love this team? When I saw today's lineup, I had at least *some* confidence in every hitter but Carter. I don't remember the last time I felt that good looking at a Yankee lineup.

Anonymous said...

YOU MAY BE RIGHT LEINSTERY, ABOUT REFSNYDER, BUT THERE WAS POTENTIAL FOR A HITTER THERE A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

19 - 9 .....KEEP THE ROLL!!!!

Alphonso said...

This is great. But how can I manage it? I have to run from the TV to the Mac in order to post? That can take too long.

JU-JU, effective JU-JU, is like vapor; it cools quickly, and disappears into the atmosphere.

I will try it if on-field developments so compel me.

Otherwise, I will keep texting Mustang and Duque, and they can re-post my posts. I don't want to hurt this run.

JM said...

Darn. I missed this whole game thread thing.
