Am I the only one who hates the phrase "Walk off homer?"

[goodcall]

While we're on the topic, who the hell thought up "buzzer beater"? I mean, how the heck does that make any sense?

"Hole-in-one" gets on my nerves, too.

All utterly non-descriptive of what actually just happened.

PO69- I'm glad you brought this up. That term "walk off" is the dumbest saying I have ever heard relating to sports. Everytime I hear it, I want to throw the TV out the window. Last season some idiot announcer actually used the term walk off walk when the pitcher walked in the winning run. I'm so tired of hearing that expression.

What ever happened to "game winning" hit or home run?

I agree. EVERYTHING is a walk-off now. Yesterday, the Mariners won on a walk-off balk.

Meanwhile it's a routine fly ball
