What are yours? I'm gonna go with 1 from each of the major(American) sports.

I've seen my teams have a lot of success in the last 13-14 years, but you can't win em all and when you're in the big games you are bound for a couple heartbreakers.


2003 ALCS game 7 walk off by Aaron Boone. This was a bad one, the Sox were still in the middle of their curse. Normally I would take Pedro Martinez being spotted 4 runs 100 out of 100 times, but Grady Little leaving him in there in the 8th is the reason they lost.



Blackhawks vs Bruins Game 6 of the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals. Up 2-1 looking like they're headed to Chicago for game 7. They tie it with 1:16 left and win it 18 seconds later, brutal.



David Tyree miracle play at SB 42. Derailed the best season of all time. I still don't know how Eli avoided the sack there. Worst loss of all time probably.



Celtics vs Lakers game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals, up 13 in the 3rd quarter the Celtics should have won this game. I'm still unsure of exactly how the Lakers shot 22 free throws in the 4th quarter, but that's another story. It sucks that this team didn't win 2, I would have really liked their chances in 09 if KG didn't get hurt, worst case scenario we would have gotten Lakers/Celtics 3 straight Finals'...



Honorable mentions:

SB 46 against the Giants, Welker a tough but makeable play to win the game but dropped it.

2010 EC Semi Finals against the Flyers. Up 3-0 in the series and then collapsed. Bruins were even up 3-0 in game 7, but obviously blew that lead as well.

2006 AFC championship against the Colts. Up 21-6 at halftime and blew the lead, Colts go on to beat the Bears and win the Super Bowl.

Super Bowl 31, getting blown out by the Packers. I had just turned 7 so I don't have the fondest memory nor was I as invested, but I do remember being devestated.

Others:

Finally losing to Lebron after he went to Miami(because he realized he couldn't beat the Celtics in Cleveland.

Losing to the Jets in the playoffs(self explanatory)

Losing to the Habs in the playoffs(again self explanatory)

i remember that aaron boone home run so vividly.

 

Oct 28, 2015

Diego Sanchez getting dominated by BJ Penn crushed me. Especially after his walk in.

 

Oct 28, 2015

98 losing to the Falcons in the divisional round when Garrison Hearst destroyed his ankle in the first play of the game. Everything went down hill for SF after that season for a few years. Hearst took a few years to get back to form. Charlie Garner was a great fill in for him though.

Every loss to the Packers in the playoffs. I hated going to school the next day bing the only Niner fan surrounded by Packer fans.

2011 NFC game vs Giants. f--- you Kyle Williams

2013 NFC game. Loss and Bowman injury. Also started the end of what SF had. Feels similar to the 98 game vs Atlanta.

As for other sports

Just being a Bucks and Brewers fan is a loss.

 

Oct 28, 2015

2004 ALCS Game 4, Muller's single off Rivera that tied the game and the Red Sox ended up winning, then the Yankees went on to lose the next 3 games in a row

 

Oct 28, 2015

Could've had a 3-1 lead going back to Cleveland if Jimmy stuck to him and they gave Blatt the tech he deserved for trying to call a timeout when they had 0 left. Such a buzz k--- after Derrick's game winner in game 3.

 

Oct 28, 2015

Same. It was a school night and my mom was trying to make me go to bed because it had to be close to 1 AM. I told her she had to be high if she thought I was going to bed.

Ya I was on the other end of that. I was a Diego fan, but a bigger fan of BJ.

In terms of MMA, Chuck losing to Rashad in devastating fashion and the two Silva losses to Weidman stick out to me. BJ vs GSP is another.

Oct 28, 2015

Basically the 2011 and 2013 NBA Finals when the Heat got their a----s handed to them.

Also the 2013 World Series hurt a lot.

Right here is very close to #1.



This is the worst one tho:

 

Oct 28, 2015

My best friend is a Broncos lifer. Left our Super Bowl party to go drink alone and chain smoke after the first quarter. Legendary meltdown.

Mainly this one recently:

 

Oct 28, 2015

04-05 NBA championship (Pistons fan)
Just recently the lions getting screwed vs the Seahawks and UM losing to Michigan state on the botched punt

 

Oct 28, 2015

Man that one s----d, my only consolation was we played with a depleted squad. This one still hurts:

 

Oct 28, 2015

That botched punt must have been brutal, Michigan still had title aspirations too.

 

Oct 28, 2015

Eagles vs Cardinals 2008 NFC Championship game

Had we won it would have been Eagles Vs Steelers in Superbowl, would have been awesome

 

Oct 28, 2015

hopefully this year we can erase that memory
