Now only Youk knows for sure here whether the look of pain on his face is due to indigestion, his nagging sports hernia, or the fact that he just struck out in that at-bat and completely sucks as a baseball player and a human being, but never the less it's a fantastic job by the photographer in using the stadium lighting to pull your eye right to Youk's face. He wants us to know Youk's pain, to feel it.
"Come on, meng! Gimme a hug, meng!"
"... In the cold November raaaain!... "
Sad Josh Reddick is sad that he couldn't catch that 3-run homer and bring it back into the pahhhhhhhhhk.
And Sad Carl Crawford is even more sad that his team just got their dicks stepped on again at home. Or maybe it's because he's still having an unbelievably shitty year: .249/.285/.396, .300 wOBA, 82 wRC+, and just 0.1 WAR. Yep, that'll get the overtly racist home crowd to turn against you pretty quick if you're a black professional athlete in Bahhston. Sadface.
Sure, the Sawx are probably still going to make the playoffs when all is said and done. But it's still great to watch them, their fans, and ESPN wallow in their recent misery and have to sweat it out in these last couple weeks. I'm legally bound as a Yankee fan to bag on them in situations like that. It would be un-American of me not to.
