SYLLABICATION: jug·ger·naut PRONUNCIATION: jgr-nôt NOUN: 1. Something, such as a belief or institution, that elicits blind and destructive devotion or to which people are ruthlessly sacrificed. 2. An overwhelming, advancing force that crushes or seems to crush everything in its path: “It doesn't assume that people need necessarily remain passive when confronted by what appears to be the juggernaut of history” (Christopher Lehmann-Haupt). 3. Juggernaut Used as a title for the Hindu deity Krishna. I've never quite liked the use of this word to describe a sports team. Whenever I see it in a sports contact I think, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Definition 2 seems to be what he was going for. I think he knows what it meant, Inigo.

Didn't there used to be someone around here who would have talked about definition #1? Later

I think definition #1 is what Steinbrenner expects of the Yankees.

]The road trip, to Los Angeles, Phoenix and Philadelphia, marked the second time a Mets team has won nine of 10 road games. The other instance was 20 years ago in a World Series championship season. The Mets also have won eight straight on the road, an achievement accomplished in their history by only the 1988 team, the last Mets division winner. They are in position to win nine straight and become the first Mets team since 2000 to do so. The 2000 team is the last Mets club to play in a postseason.
