Boom he gives up 5 runs in the 9th. Two errors, two walks and a two out, 3-2, 9 pitch AB grand slam. I'm crushed!! Scared to play game 7. How can my team respond? We're dead. And starting game 7 for us is a rookie, who in his last 13 regular season starts was 2-5 with an ERA near 5. We're doomed...
7-1 victory!! Best OOTP moment I've had so far. And thank heavens I was putting my daughter to bed when my closer gave up the Grand Slam!!

Baseball at its finest. Stuff happens:

Rivera has blown just five of his 47 postseason save opportunities, but four of them came in situations in which converting the save would have clinched a series the Yankees ultimately went on to lose (the 1997 Division Series, 2001 World Series and two in the 2004 American League Championship Series).

Your thread title resonates with me in a broader sense. I am still shell-shocked from last night when my team followed up a 100-62 season with a 60-102 nightmare. Awesome to Crushed!!
