Heard New school in Dallas this morning argue it was last night, "the catch" and Mavs in their first NBA finals (game 3?) they did not pick a winner but said those had to be the top 3 ...
Not sure about the rest, but 06 seemed like it was a win for you guys and you had to watch it slip away game by game.
"The Catch"....MSM comprehensively worked that to a fine American cultural point.
Wasn't alive in '81, still bitter towards the Mavs in '06, and find nothing even remotely appealing about watching hockey on TV...
...but last night was a pretty swift ing kick to the prostate. Ugh.
I would probably say "The Catch", because its a one-and-done game. At least in the case of the Mavs and Rangers, they still have/had more games to play. Plus, Cowboys always have been and probably always will be #1 in Dallas.
But in terms of extreme emotional highs and lows, I don't think a game can be any worse for that than last night.
Granted, but last night had, there were so many moments when you were RIGHT there. The back-to-back HRs, the pitcher even scoring a run, then the tie, THEN the Josh 2-run blast (that was PARTICULARLY devastating; I wanted that win for him so badly).
What happened to having an intimidating bullpen?! Christ.
Exactly.
thats the way baseball go
Lulz. Yeah.
Honestly, I knew after they posted that stat about Feliz having only given up 1 earned run in however many at bats that things were about to unravel.
What about the Ice Bowl? That had to be a kick in the nuts.
Solid lodgement.
That's another one when sports media took a side and crucified the other. Then MSM took it and ran with it. Kramer (white) taking out Pugh (black) is etched like Clark (white) across the back of that end zone, both against Dallas flash.
It's not like that now. The owners found a way around it:::they bought up Media. tee, hee.
Rangers up 3 runs going into the 8th...should've been a win.
Rangers up 2 runs with 2 outs and 2 strikes in the bottom of the 9th...should've been a win.
Cruz lollygagging on a catchable out to finish the game...should've been a win.
Rangers up 2 runs with 2 outs and 2 strikes in the bottom of the 10th...should've been a win.
Washington inexplicably playing the outfield to defend the double play when a catch in the field earns you the le...should've been a win.
Playing musical pitchers and sending out some scrub who floats one over the plate....doom.
The Rangers had several golden opportunities last night, and they blew every single one of them. They will be damn lucky if they find themselves in the same position again tonight. That's gotta be a back breaker for Texas, whereas one has to believe the Cardinals now have the momentum, the belief, and home field advantage on their side, and the fans will be foaming at the mouth like most Game 7 spectators are.
...ugh.
I hit my remote, clapped twice & rolled over.
it's impossible to judge until after the series is over imho. if the rangers bounce back to win game 7, everyone forgets about game 6. the 06 series the outcome is already decided though. that one was a heartbreaker and there ain't nothing that can be done about that, the rangers however still have a change to set things right.
+1lulz. Yeah.
Honestly, i knew after they posted that stat about feliz having only given up 1 earned run in however many at bats that things were about to unravel.
Though, while I'll be terribly disappointed, I'll feel even worse for my Dallas-area friends that've actually been on board w/ TEX since YEARS before there were Ranger flags flying on every other car that passes by.
There's no consoling that.
Didn't last year's ring effectively put (more or less) an end to all the bitter/angry/depressing fallout from '06's collapse?
no lol, it just makes you pissed that we were compe ive for more than an entire decade and only came away with 1 ring. if we don't have that epic fail in 06, who knows if we still have a psychological breakdown in 07. throw in the dirk injury in 03, and we could potentially have 4 rings. not saying we deserve 4, but you like to shoot more than 25%. the general feeling i get overall is still disappointment is what i'm saying.
Yeah, that makes sense.
<-still bitter about the Manu foul
<-still asshurt about .4
<-even still a little pissy about the no-call on Fish w/ Brent pulling up for the shot at the buzzer
very good point
but im still pretty happy with this championship. it really couldnt have been sweeter than this one. i dont think if they had won 3-4 through the decade, would any of those been HALF was appreciated as this one was. for them to only come out with 1 ring, it was a of a ring
