What Just Happened?
With the Cardinals down 5 - 4 in the top of the ninth inning Lance Berkman hit a two out homerun on a 0 - 1 count to tie the score. Great excitement for the Cardinals fans and quite a let down for the Dodger faithful.
The Dodgers won the game in the bottom of the ninth on a walk-off walk. Great excitement for the Dodger fans and quite a let down for the Redbird faithful.
I was wondering after we were off the air if there can be any loss more painful for a ballclub and it's fans than a walk-off walk?
I don't think there can be any loss more difficult to swallow than a walk-off walk loss after your team just tied the score with a dramatic homerun. After the homerun, we were saying in the TV truck "Are you kidding me?"
Covering a walk-off walk loss for television leaves the TV crew to feel cheated. It's like the show didn't end.
