As a sports fan of your favorite teams....what game was your biggest heartbreak or disappointment?....as a Yankee/Cowboy Fan....mine was the walk of homerun by Mazaroski in 1960 and the "Ice Bowl" with the Packers.....the "Catch" a close second!!

I am a Philadelphia fan so there are quite a few to chose from. The biggest for me has to be the 1993 World Series when Joe Carter cranked one off of Mitch Williams in the ninth inning of Game 6 to allow Toronto to re-take the lead and win the championship.
A close second is the Fog Bowl in 1988. The Eagles had a awesome defense and on that day the offense was clicking perfectly as well. A fog rolled in during the second quarter that cut visibility to next to nothing. Despite being able to move the ball all over the field, the Eagles just couldn't score and lost 20-12.

As a Philly sports fan, there are just too, too many....Believe it or not, the 1993 Joe Carter walk-off hr v. Mitch Williams (Blue Jays over Phils in 6) did not kill me, but it was close. There were actually more agonizing playoff losses, such as the 77 NLCS, blowing a 9th inning lead on some fluke plays against the Dodgers. Then again, to be a Phils fan is to know heartbreak.
Per the Eagles, where do i start? Losing that ridiculous "Fog Bowl" against the Bears ...more recently, the TB and Carolina losses at home in the NFC Championship Games...
The Sixers had a lot of "close, but no cigar" years during the Dr. J era. before winning in '83....probably the playoff loss at Boston in Game 7 of the Eastern Final (in 1981?) after blowing a 3-1 lead in the series and a double-digit loss in the 4th quarter comes about the closest.
Flyers? Lots of close calls; hard to pick just one!

Since this is on the baseball board I don't know if I can answer with a college football answer but I will anyway :) I was devastated when we (Alabama) blew a 20+ point lead going in to the 4th quarter against #7 Arkansas in 2003. Matt Jones (QB for Arkansas) started launching TD passes and we ended up losing in two OTs by a damn field goal. I have never went from being so happy to so sad in such a short period of time. I might add that not even our previous loss to freakin Northern Illinois was a bad as blowing that kind of lead against a ranked team. Most of you probably know that we went on to a 4-9 season that year but that Arkansas game was the heartbreaker just because they were doing so well and the defense just died. I didn't speak one work for about 3 hours...lol After 3 years I am over it.........almost :)

Not as a fan but as a coach this year for my 13-15 Babe Ruth team we lost the championship game on a bad umpires call. Bases Loaded, Bottom 7th, 2 outs, Losing by 1 run, Full count on batter. Runners took off on the pitch, batter hit a ground ball to the 3rd baseman who went to tag his base but the runner beat him to it. Field ump was watching first, Plate umpire was watching the runner from 3rd tag home... Nobody saw it but me (3rd base coach). Umpires didn't make a call until after they met and talked about it a bit... then made the wrong call... I went a little ballistic.

The 2000 world series was up there.
But when Doug Brien missed two field goals against the Steelers in the playoffs two years ago that would have sent the Jets to the AFC Championship game, that hurt a lot.

Going to a Phillies home opener this season and just before the first pitch of the season was thrown watching a fan hold up a sign that read, "WAIT 'TILL NEXT YEAR!!" The sad part about it is he was right!!!! That's the life of a Phillies fan!!!

Two words: Aaron Boone. As that game went on I had a feeling the Sox would lose it anyway, but the way it happened was just awful. But the Sox won it all the next year so that made up for it.

it quite is a stunning music, in simple terms like countless of the songs he made. This place lodge aka Heartbreak lodge, gets a 10 out of 10. EDIT: The music could be referred to as the two call. in simple terms because of the fact it has the comparable call as a music Elvis made does not make it Elvis' music. i assume Akon took MJ's music risky whilst he made risky. So, all the human beings who suggested it grew to become into Elvis' music, get your data at once.
