The Mariners versus Nationals game as emo songs
On Emo Night at T-Mobile Park, the Seattle Mariners lost to the Washington Nationals. They did so at home, in extra innings, and in dismal fashion to a score of 9-3. At least the night was on theme. And now, the game as some emo classics. 'Heart Is Hard To Find' by Jimmy Eat World Emerson Hancock was cruising well enough through most of his 5.1 innings, and even collected four strikeouts along the way. The biggest hiccups came in the .1 where his ability to get ahead in most counts before that point was suddenly too depressed to come out of its room, and he got into some trouble. This is also where he picked up his two earned runs, and two out of three of his walks. Hancock has overall held his own well enough during this run at the big league club, and no matter how that ended today or how that will end when starters 1-5 are healthy, that kind of heart is hard to find. 'Thank You for the Venom' by My Chemical Romance Never have I seen such venom from J.P. Crawford so instantly, but it was emo night after all. J.P. was ejected and got to spend some time alone with his thoughts, and the vibes in the game took a steeper shift than the defensive maneuverings that had to be made due to his sudden absence. The Mariners would go on to tie it up at one point after this, but you could also say they never did recover. I guess they didn't know you aren't supposed to suck the poison out. 'Vindicated' by Dashboard Confessional There was a point in this game, in fact most of it, that a Mariners win felt in reach. There were only two players with multi-hit games tonight for Seattle, and chief among them was Leody Taveras. Putting up a 3-for-4 night and stealing a base made him the offensive standout of the night, but he also saved a run when it was still tied in the top of the eighth with a cannon shot to home plate. Vindicated, indeed. 'Weightless' by All Time Low Ben Williamson may be a book half unread, but today was an exciting paragraph if nothing else. Who knows, it may just end up being his year. His 2-for-4 day included the RBI hit that tied it up in the seventh inning, and after working the count full. Advertisement Oh, and he followed that hit up with his first ever stolen base. 'Sophomore Slump Or Comeback Player Of The Year' by Fall Out Boy Julio took those tears from being hit by a pitch on the knuckles and put them on ice, burning an emphatic revenge stolen base right afterward. It was otherwise an 0-for-4 affair for Rodríguez, but this bold turn-around moment was fun, you know, while the game still was. 'For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic' by Paramore Taveras absolutely had his vindication with one heck of an offensive output today, and that throw to home gave him points on defense and then some. But also, this happened. All that talking himself up just to tear himself down. 'Terrible Things' by Mayday Parade Don't fall in love with a baseball game, because you will just be hurt. That is what the top of the tenth inning became. I could break down all of the minute details of the extra inning disaster fostered by Muñoz replacement Collin Snider, but it was Emo Night at the ballpark not mentally torture strangers on the internet night. I will mention that Snider immediately allow the zombie runner to advance to third on a wild pitch, at one point almost sailed a throw into center on a play that allowed runners to advance, and only got one out while allowing seven runs (five earned) on four hits and a walk. Bazardo came in eventually and got the remaining two outs, and Rivas scored Williamson in the bottom of the inning, but the damage was done and the inevitable happened. Advertisement More from

My Chemical Romance's Catalog Continues To Soar, Despite A Lack Of New Music
My Chemical Romance's 'Helena' is now certified four-times platinum by the RIAA, joining a short ... More list of the band's most successful songs in the U.S. MILAN, ITALY - NOVEMBER 21: My Chemical Romance posed backstage in Milan on November 21 2006. L-R Ray Toro, Frank Iero,Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Bob Bryar (Photo by Mick Hutson/Redferns) My Chemical Romance hasn't shared a full-length album in almost a decade and a half, but fans are clearly still devouring its discography. The band's anthems — both the major hits and the deeper cuts — continue to rack up streams and sales throughout the U.S., and all that attention has earned the group a new collection of RIAA certifications. These latest wins show that even during an extended hiatus, the staple of the emo movement is still relevant to what must be a large number of listeners. The biggest new certification scored by My Chemical Romance belongs to "Helena." The single, which helped catapult the band to fame, has quietly been racking up plays and sales – but likely largely streams – even though its last certification was snagged way back in 2008. At that point, it was named a gold hit for moving 500,000 equivalent units. This time around, it leaps all the way to four-times-platinum status, which means it has now shifted four million units in the U.S. alone. That's not the only win for the group this time around. Another massive single, "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)," also earns new love from the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America). The cut was previously certified platinum in 2017, and it has now reached triple-platinum territory. While the band's most recognizable singles are being upgraded, other beloved tracks reach the RIAA's radar for the first time. "The Ghost of You" jumps straight to platinum, bypassing the usual gold milestone. At the same time, two more tunes, "Thank You for the Venom" and "You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison,' have both finally been certified gold. With its latest award, "Helena" is now tied as My Chemical Romance's second-most-certified track in the U.S. It matches the total earned by "Teenagers," another fan favorite that has also moved four million units. Sitting above them all is "Welcome to the Black Parade," which has already established its five-times-platinum status. Just behind that trio are a pair of platinum-certified smashes: "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)" and now "The Ghost of You." Altogether, the band has seven songs that have at least gone gold. These latest RIAA awards show that My Chemical Romance's music is still being consumed in large numbers, even without much new material to promote. The band hasn't released a proper studio album since 2010's Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, though a handful of standalone songs and compilations have trickled out since then.
