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.
