Worst way to lose a game
January 29, 2004 at 06:52AM View BBCode
Game 1 of the 3 game series between WAS & KC. WAS's ace John Benjaman pitched his heart out and his team gives him a 6-2 lead to work with heading into the 9th, after giving up a 2-run shot to Lin Alfson, closer Brent Brown was brought in to close the game with a 2-run lead.
Brown gave up 2 singles and a sacrifice fly which allow Lynn Kramer to score. After Stu Apfel flies out to centre, WAS still has a 1-run lead with 2 outs. All Brown did was giving up 2 singles followed by J N Chung's 3-run homer.
This lost doesn't sit well for the rest of players in the Was locker room. They are thinking that they just wasted a great effect by their ace, and their closer is not capable of closing a game -- even with a 2-run lead.
Consequently, they lost the remaining 2 games of the series and got swept by KC after going 10-1 at their recent hot steak.

You don't want to experience the mood in the Boston clubhouse anytime soon. We've not only found that there's more than one worst way to lose, but we've executed each one of them more than twice :mad:
