Last year Mets and Nationals. Had an under 9 and score was 3-2 Mets going into the ninth inning. Mets scratch another run in their half of the innings so now score is 4-2 Mets. I still have 3 runs to work with and 3 outs to go. Washington gets baserunner after baserunner aboard and the dude hit a grand slam. 6-4 Nationals win.

adding Auburn running back not being ruled down on late run against Oregon. Not saying it was a bad call, just a bad break.

Georgetown's 17-point 2nd half debacle vs. Davidson in March 2008.
Ole Miss debacle vs. Vanderbilt September 2008

Didn't know you were a hoyas fan. Have you been going to any of the Kenner league games at McDonough over the summer?

 

[Huckel]

Dave Henderson`s homerun off Dish-em-up Donnie Moore

Game 5 of the 1986 ALCS

The game took place on October 12, 1986 in Anaheim. The Angels held a 3 games to 1 lead in the best-of-seven series against the Boston Red Sox. In the game, the Angels held a 5-2 lead going into the ninth inning. Boston scored two runs on a home run by Don Baylor (scoring Dave Stapleton, who was pinch-running for Bill Buckner), closing the gap to 5-4.

When Moore came in to shut down the rally, there were two outs and a runner on first base (Rich Gedman, who had been hit by a pitch). The Angels were one strike away from advancing to the World Series for the very first time. Dave Henderson hit a 2-2 pitch off Moore for a home run, giving the Red Sox a 6-5 lead. The Angels were able to score a run in the bottom of the ninth, pushing the game into extra innings.

The pitch . . . To left field and deep, and Downing goes back. And it's gone! Unbelievable! Astonishing! Anaheim Stadium was one strike away from turning into Fantasyland! The Red Sox lead 6-5! You're looking at one for the ages here. The Red Sox get four runs in the ninth on a pair of two-run homers by Don Baylor and Dave Henderson.

Gene Mauch ruined me 22 years earlier....

I would imagine the Cardinals/Royals World Series 6th game back in the 80's hurt Gary Austin....he stiffed all his players the week after and went running back to Manhatten Beach and then to Costa Rica....

Didn't know you were a hoyas fan.

He's the biggest.

Buckners error for all of its longlasting fury was not that big a deal.

Red Sox had a 5-3 lead, 2 outs 10th inning 3-2 lead game 6. The problem was, their bullpen was the alltime gas can of all gas cans. Their best relievers were Calvin Schiraldi and Bob Stanley that by itself speaks volumes and they combined to blow the lead. The rest of the crap pen was full of horrific ERA's and a middle reliever I forget whose ERA was under 4.

It was the gas can pen that blew it, not Buckner. Even if he makes that play, the game was already tied by then, nobody remembers that. And it goes to the next inning with the red sox digging deeper into the crap pen and the heavily favored Mets batting last.

I dont have any problem with Buckner. It was the bullpen. They traded for Lee Smith after the season fron the Cubs. I guess they ought to have done that during the 86 season not after

I blame Gedman.

Green was already in the NBA by then.

Jabril Trawick looks damn good so far. I agree JT3 is a bad coach. I know Jason Clark, and really I'm only a hoyas fan b/c of him. He totally screwed Jason with his lane Princeton offense and terrible 09 recruiting class. Jason is one of the fastest players in the big east and a much much better player than what he's shown at gtown. If he was in more open run and gun offense he would be a 1st team Big East player. He was playing against Brandon Jennings last week and totally looked like the better player.

Gtown will be lucky to be .500 in the BEast this year.

Sorry for getting off topic.

Georgetown losing to Ohio and VCU in the first round of the NCAA tourney the last two years are two loses that keep me up at night.

 

[bigtendominator]

ah sorry not green meant Freeman/Summers. Stupid how good Summers should have been at G'town. Another guy who didn't fulfill his potential, similar to Morris at MD. Was disappointed to see Clark not as assertive towards the end of last year considering he came out aggressive earlier in the season. Loved the VCU loss though, big time Rams fan. Ohio game was an abomination

did you just go with the terrance morris reference. The all-time poster child for leaving school early
