Slime Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Everyone has seen a sports team blow it after having what seemed to be an insurmountable lead (whether seasonal or just in one game). My question is thus: What, in your opinion, is the WORST screw up you've ever seen? What game, season or other sporting time frame did you witness the biggest "I can't believe they BLEW IT!" you've ever seen? As a Habs fan, I'm quite used to seeing my guys screw up after obtaining perfectly winnable games, but it happens often enough that it only gets a small mention here.

ReRushed Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 The New York Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series. How can you be 3 games up to none and lose the series? I still feel sick in the stomach to this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barney's Alter Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Dennis Eckersley Eck-cellent Again A 7-1 record, a 1.91 ERA, and an American League-best 51 saves earned Dennis Eckersley a special double salute -- he won both the Cy Young and Most Valuable Player trophies. "Eck" failed to convert only three save opportunities during the regular season. While he enjoyed his sixth straight top season out of the bullpen, he unfortunately blew a critical one in game four of the ALCS as Toronto beat the A's and went to the 1992 World Series.

Barney's Alter Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 There was a mlb game in the late 70's or early 80's where they guy hit an infield blooper, and broke his bat. The shards from the broken bat got in the way of the person fielding the ball. That play ended up costing the game winning run. Anyone know which game this was?
