Can you believe how quickly the AL Wild Card swung?

 

At 10:54 CST, the Red Sox were up 3-2 with 2 outs in the 9th and no one on, and the Yankees had runners on 1st and 3rd with 0 outs in Tampa. The Wild Card looked to be Boston's.

 

At 10:55 the runner on 3rd for the Yankees is caught off the bag and tagged out.

 

By 10:59, the Rays got out of the inning and the Orioles had tied the game.

 

At 11:02, the Orioles win on a walkoff hit.

 

At 11:06, Longoria hits a walkoff and the Rays win the Wild Card.

 

12 minutes. It took 12 minutes for the entire season to shift for 2 teams.

Do both The Braves and Red Sox jump into the top 10 choke jobs of all time?

 

What is the biggest Sept collapses in baseball history? They have to be near the top.

So, when the 50 for 50 Documentary on the 2011 Miami Heat's failures against the Mavericks comes out in 20 years, will it feature 20 minutes' worth of material on Carl Crawford?

John Heyman says that the Red Sox collapse is the worst in baseball history, and the Braves collapse is the 4th I think.

I think the biggest was the '64 phillies until tonight. both the braves and red sox surpassed it.

LMAO

 

During the rain delay, Dan Shaugnesy (sp) went on NESN and said (paraphrasing):

 

"I think the Rays are not going to win tonight. I think the one thing that we have learned already tonight is that the Red Sox season is not going to end tonight. They live to play another day."

 

This of course is when the Yankees were up 7-0 and the Sox were up 3-2

I thought the biggest collapse was the 95 Angels? Didn't they blow a 12.5 game lead?

 

EDIT: http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=6764. They had a 99.988 chance of making the playoffs on August 20.

 

welcome to 5 pages ago, whaaa whaaaaaaa :wink:

 

biggest collapses in mlb history:

 

1. 1995 angels

2. 2011 red sox

3. 2007 mets

4. 1951 dodgers

5. 2011 braves

Interesting, I didn't know the Red Sox ranked that high. Is there a link?

I'm pretty sure these two teams are 1-2 for biggest September leads blown in MLB history.

he discusses the angels and dodgers in the article you posted, and also mentions the mets as being 99.8% likely in 2007 (they blew it to the phillies). the red sox were 99.9%, according to the graph posted by soccer10k. the dodgers were 99.74%, and this year's braves were 99.64%.

Everyone likes to harp on the '69 Cubs, but I believe they may have officially been blown out of the top 10.

[expletive] Cardinals.

 

Yesterday one of TBBFIA actually said to me, "we have to get into the playoffs, we've suffered so much."

 

Eat a bowl of [expletive].

If the Cubs were in the Red Sox's situation right now, every sentence spoken in America since last night would contain the word "curse."

 

Also, why didn't Pedroia want to win just a little bit more? Or scrap a little harder? Or play the game even righter? Maybe he placed his heart on a part of his sleeve where it wasn't quite as readily visible.
