3 to 3, Bottom of the 9th, Bases Loaded
Rochester at Buffalo ... AAA Baseball (minor league professional baseball) ... just caught the end of the game.Score was 3:3 ... they loaded the bases ... 2 outs ... 2 strikes and the batter took ball 2... just outside (I would have swung
) ... on the next pitch ... 2:2 count ... a strike right down the middle that was hit to short center and Buffalo won!
Watching the game while on the elliptical just now.
Any favorite sports "situations" you like? When the score is tied in overtime? The new (regular season) shootout rule in the NHL?
"Extra time" in soccer/football perhaps?
When does a game/sport really catch your attention?

This happened in 1999, my fave team was behind by two points in the last seconds of the game, and my favorite player, Bal "The Flash" David made a three points that made them win the game and if I remembered it correctly they had been champion of the conference.
Rather quiet around here, isn't it?
Wonderful to see you! ... I need to watch your video... I'll be right back!
They are the AAA affiliate of the Mets which is my favorite
baseball team.
Shay, that new picture of your is fantastic. You look so beautiful!
A little extra fun in cheering for the 'opposite' team sometimes.
Thanks for sharing your memory/moment with us!
I also learned that the Bisons will host the Triple-A All-Star game in June. I enjoy a good display of skills and with some strategy rolled in, baseball is fun to watch.
Mets ... They pitched around (intentional walk for those not familiar) the 2nd batter ... a lefty who apparently has the best batting average in the league at the moment. Apparently your team's organization has done some good scouting.
Watching "The Save" ... the left/right movement and radical change in body position to get in the way of the shot! ... really something to see.
Those moments... the "hero or goat" moments... that's what keeps me watching.
I watched this soccer/football match at home with my (late) father and my brother and I can't forget this one because the score was so tight. It's the match of Spain vs (the then) Yugoslavia in the final round of Group Stage in Euro Cup 2000 which was held in France (if I'm not mistaken).
Yugoslavia was leading the score 3 vs Spain 2, but Spain was given penalty shot during injury time to make it draw and it scored again in a minute to win the match
Here's the video
Enjoy the win of your fave team
Ed, thank you.
Any sport... when the game is close and remaining moments are few... and little chance remains... and one team is able to make the right things happen... to reverse the likely outcome and find success when it seems unlikely... really fun to watch!
There are moments in sport and in any endeavor ... moments like this one ... that provide motivation and excitement and make us feel a bit more alive. So cool. Very
