I agree Fuck The YankeesI stand by my original assessment, which is Fuckthe Yankees.
I'm not so sure about that. I get being down 0-3 against a bitter rival with the looming curse is an amazing feet to overcome, but I still think what happened to the Patriots is worse. Heck, the Yankees weren't even in the World Series.Honestly the Yankees should run away with this poll but I don't think enough people watch baseball here to understand the magnitude.
This is amazing.
I picked the patriots for two reasons. I forgot just how close the yankees got to putting it away and I wanted to poke pat fans.
Both seems like legit reasons to me.
I'll fully admit to screaming like a little girl when Dave Roberts was rounding third!2004 Yankees. They where 3 outs away twice of winning the series and blew it.

I didn't intend it to go that way, but often we remember what happens in the Finals, SB, WS, etc much more than what happens in say the ALDS for instance.
Ultimately it's subjective of course, but it's the doldrums of the NFL offseason so why not at this point. Won't be until Late July until we get to see real live pads.On the other hand, if you look at it as greatest deficit to overcome in any matchup or biggest lead blown, the Red Sox-Yankees would win easily.
In regards to miracle victories and gut-wrenching losses, our perceptions are affected by our fandom.
Something you and Pat fans can finally agree uponI agree Fuck The Yankees
Something you and Pat fans can finally agree upon
73 wins and one game away from being known as the greatest team ever to play is the hands down winner for me.
Where's the other category? All of these are bad but, they're team sports. The worst IMO is the 1999 collapse of Jean Van De Velde in the Brittish open. He went into the last hole up three strokes. Triple bogied the hole and lost in a playoff. Unlike team sports you have no one to blame but yourself in golf. With the others, pundits will claim, refs, a certain play/player or injury caused the loss
For this poll I have to say GS losing 3 in a row, two at home is a terrible pill to swallow. The Skankees would've been my vote but it was the ALCS. As for the Pats see my pundit comment above
A good point- but I thought I was pushing it already comparing the single elimination NFL to the NBA, MLB, etc.Where's the other category? All of these are bad but, they're team sports.

nice call...I lost money on the series.All three were good, or make that bad actually, but since I don't put a ton of stock into the NBA reg season...73 is obviously all-time, but imo it doesn't carry as much weight as 18-0 and one game away from the SB.
FWIW...I picked the Cavs to win the series in 6....even down 3-1, I thought it might still get to game 7.
