Jung Ho Kang takes out his agony on the dugout bubblegum bucket

Jung Ho Kang takes his agony out on the gum bucket

After lining into a double play in the bottom of the ninth inning with the game-winning run on base  -- at the hands of a truly exquisite play by Paul Goldschmidt -- Jung Ho Kang took his frustration out on the dugout bucket of bubblegum.

But that kind of raw, unbridled emotion isn't simply applicable to double play situations. It's the physical display of agony felt during all kinds of moments.

Kang threw his helmet for all of our frustrations.

The cash register rings your total up to $1.01 and you don't have any coins on you:

The pain is all too real. But hey, the dugout atmosphere was much cheerier after Kang's homer in the seventh ...

... and the Pirates ended up winning in the 15th inning, anyway. So, you know: The ecstasy, the agony.
