There's always one. During every baseball playoff season, there is one game where everything seems to be going normal, and then there's one error, one fuckup, that totally turns it around. The loser becomes an unlikely winner, and more than likely, that team becomes world champs.
Such might be the case with St. Louis Cardinals left fielder Matt Holiday. His team was one out -- one fucking out! -- away from winning Game 2 of their Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Alas, he misjudged the fly ball that would've ended the game; it hit his belly instead. The Dodgers then proceeded to score the tying and winning runs, and they now lead their best-of-five series 2-0.
I love the Cardinals (though I love the Dodgers just as much; both of them are my National League teams du jour). I love St. Louis, especially the strip clubs of East St. Louis. The Loo is considered to be Baseball's True City, and the fans are reputed to be the best. Still, they cannot forgive a mess-up that will surely end this team's season, after being one stupid fly ball away from an important win.
Fuck the phrase that baseball's a team game. This is all Holiday's fault.
Poor bastard.
