no dar ni una Explanation: no dar pie con bola. Algo por el estilo. "If a baseball batter gets 0 hits in 4 at-bats in a game, he's said to go "oh for four," or perhaps even more colloquially, to have an "o-fer." In business, an "o-fer" would be failing to make any sales." Saludos |

La suerte nos abandonó (completamente) en Nueva York Explanation: referring back to "poor reviews in every single newspaper": The Wire did not achieve even one good review per four newspapers (which would have meant 25% success), therefore it had no success at all |
