It has a blue, green and white wire. I believe the green wire is a ground, however I do not know where the blue and white wire go.
I have never personally used this gyro, but you can find the datasheet for this gyro at http://www.analog.com/UploadedFiles/...ADXRS150_B.pdf . It will include a pinout.

----------------------- EDIT --------------------------------
You are obviously using some kind of demo board for this chip, bc there is almost no way to solder to it.
The dasheet for the demo board is at http://www.analog.com/UploadedFiles/...XRS150EB_0.pdf

It looks like you need to conect it as follows:
AGND AND OR PGND: connect ground
AVCC AND PDD: connect to 5v
RATEOUT: connect to input (sig)

In order to get better noise rejection, you may want to add some bandwidth reducing capacitors as described in the datasheet.
