This one hurts.

Can't seem to figure out how to paste a box score link in here, but in Hamilton, my team is one out away from going to the WS in Game 6 when the right-fielder "misplays a lazy fly ball" and allows 2 runs to score to tie the game. Lost it in the 10th.

Brought back memories of Buckner (though I know in that case the game was already tied).



Anyone else have a loss like that that they won't forget??

Bottom 9th, Game 7 of WS.
2 outs.
Up by a run.
Closer walks the batter.
Guy behind him hits a 2-run homer to win the game and the series.

I was reading the whole game through the play-by-play; I did not know the outcome beforehand.

I was weeping at 3:30 am.

Yours is worse. Definitely.

I can beat it. Game 7 of the W.S. Up by 7 inhe bottom of the 9th. My opponent has the bases loaded with two out. Full count on the batter, he draws a walk. Next batter, two strikes, he again draws a walk. Next batter hits a dribbler to 3rd, third baseman boots it, another run scores, now only up by 4. Next batter takes the first pitch he sees over the RF fence for his first career HR and we have a tie game. My pitcher gets the next batter out and we are off to extra innings. We get runners on first and third with one out. The coach calls for two attempts at a suicide squeeze because it's the 9 hitter. The batter fouls off both attempts before grounding into a double play to end the threat. In the bottom of the 10th, the leadoff hitter is walked. My pitcher then hits the next batter before getting a ground ball to second for the double play. With two outs and a runner of third, my pitcher uncorks a wild pitch and the runner on third easily scores to win the game.

If you're wondering how I have so much detail it's because this actually happened to my junior team in the provincial (state) championship. To top things off, the game was played in my home town and we lost this one after beating our biggest rival twice in a row while facing elimination. That game was the most devastating loss I have ever seen in my lifetime and will probably never be topped. If I wasn't a part of it I would not have believed it was possible.

also silent...you can still just beat me in game 7 and go on unfortunately. if i do manage to come back and beat you, then it makes it 100x worse. im hoping i can get lucky here!

Real life doesn't count.

I have little detail on this, my 1st season. So it was awhile ago. Worked in my favor though. Game 6 of the WS I was down 12-1 in the top of the 8th.

I score 3 in the 8th and 9 in the 9th. Good way to win the title, bad for him though.

ok its worse, i managed to pull it off.

What makes it the most brutal wasn't that the pitcher(s) fell apart; it was a "lazy fly ball" and the guy dropped it. The series was over and that one play crushed my season. And worse yet, I gotta lose to a team named the "Yankees" - it's like they have a monopoly on wierd crap happening to their advantage - in real life and in WiS.

Jeez - look at me - I'm ranting about luck on a simulation........when that's what this entire game is in the first place...how ironic.

To be fair, the guy that dropped it had a 50 glove. Not that it matters but he'd only played 4 innigs in RF all season.

Cobbfathers most recent world series went to game 7, where the losing teams elite closer walked in the winning run in the 9th. Ouch.

That is fair Mike. It really was my own fault. He was in the defensive rotation and replaced a guy with a 74 glove in the 8th inning. I have no idea why simmy did that, because the guy I had out there originally was better anyway...

Simmy follows the defensive replacement grid. It's fairly common for people to hit "recs" and leave them all season. That's the wrong thing to do with d-replacements. You, and I'm not really saying "YOU", should only have 1-2 players at each spot.

ya, i barely have that...def replacements is something i do by hand and only at a handful of positions. thats what killed me at the end of the regular season. some1 that kept getting brought in for "defense" kept making errors. almost blew my 1 seed.
