TBS will say "the Orioles will face being down 0-3, the only team to come back from that is the same team the Yankees beat in 2003"

Blowing a 3-0 LCS lead is probably the worst thing you can do in sports. Its absolutely horrific. I can't recall if any team has ever choked so badly but maybe I am missing one. I know this though - it probably taints everything that this loser of a team ever did before.

Reality is a cruel mistress. It is angry and blunt. It is the mortal enemy of illusion.
Orioles fans were re-introduced to it on Tuesday night, when the O's lost Game 3 of the American League Championship Series, 2-1, and essentially served notice that the only orange-and-black dream left is the impossible one.
Okay, the almost impossible one if you want to get technical about it, since it is not totally outside the realm of possibility that they could suddenly take flight on Wednesday and win the last two games at Kauffman Stadium, then sweep games 6 and 7 at Camden Yards to punch their ticket to the World Series.
It's just that nothing like that has ever happened in the era of the best-of-seven League Championship Series and there is nothing to indicate that the Orioles still have enough left of what it takes to make that kind of improbable history.
E5 Yaz said:Well, technically, he's right. The Red Sox won games 4 and 5 at home, and had to take the final two in the toilet.
What he's saying -- poorly -- is that no team has ever been down 3-0 on the road and won two games to get it back to their home field, then win those two games
He should have added a sentence or two about the difference to clear it up, though
Hey have you checked the series? The Royals are up 3 games to 0. Where you getting that idea from?Joe Shlabotnick said:When you let Ryan Flaherty do that you don't deserve to win. O's got this. Just ask the Tigers.
Ummm.... that was posted during the first game of the series. Good situational awareness, though!richgedman'sghost said:Hey have you checked the series? The Royals are up 3 games to 0. Where you getting that idea from?

Yeah, no. Maybe he meant to say that, but winning two at home then two on the road after being down 0-3 is very much like winning two on the road then two at home after being down 0-3.
