Yea, it was too.
2006 was great too, to be honest. Magglio's walk-off against Oakland and the epic 7-gamer between St. Louis and the Mets.
2001 to 2004 was just on another level. Really 2001 to 2003 in my eyes.

'09-10 Boston Bruins. 3-0 lead, game 7 AT HOME and had I think a 2 or 3 goal lead in game 7 vs Flyers...I know, nobody follows hockey.

Yankees, that was in the playoffs when it counted.

I want to say the 1995 Angels had a 16 game lead in the division around August and did not make the playoffs.

Per Wiki:
quote:
The 1995 Angels went through one of the worst late-season collapses in Major League Baseball history. On August 16, they held an 10½-game lead over the Texas Rangers and 11½-game lead over the Seattle Mariners, but suffered through a late season slump, including a nine-game losing streak from August 25 to September 3. They were still atop the division, leading Seattle by six games and Texas by 7½, when a second nine-game losing streak from September 13 to September 23 dropped them out of first place. California rebounded to win the last five scheduled games to tie Seattle for the division lead, forcing a one-game playoff to determine the division champion.

This isn't even a relative question...it's the Yankees, but i bet John Lackey just did the monkey dance in the club house, people will be talking about this collapse and not about how horrible he's been he'll have an offseason to be thankful for until spring training rolls around

I don't care, I am just glad the Yanks choked a 7 run lead last night and cost the Bosox a wildcard place.

2001 World Series
2001 postseason was great in general with an unbelievable world series and 3 of the 4 divisional series being one 3-2 (Arizona won with a walk-off hit).
That postseason had a big impact in me hopping on the Dbacks bandwagon (at least I'm honest about it
). It's also a big reason I love great pitching.This post was edited on 9/29/11 at 10:00 am

Yankees, with the BoSox it is an expected thing that the month of September will bring out the best of the worst in them, it is in thier DNA to swoon.

Biggest regular season choke: Red Sox
Biggest Postseason choke: Yankees
Postseason > Regular season.
It's the Yankees.

Yankees choke also worse because they had the lead in game 4 with Mariano Rivera on the mound and it helped end the curse.

And its not even close. If the Red Sox had the division lead and then failed to make the playoffs that wouldn't even be close.

This.
Red Sox always suck dick in September. The fact that they blew the lead is shocking, but not the fact that they played this poorly.

Red Sox. Can't believe people think it's the Yankees, hands down.
Yanks lost against an ALCS team which subsequently went onto sweep the Cards in Series. They were playing against the best team in the league.
The Red Sox had a whole month, could have won all of 9 out of 27 games, and still had gone to the playoffs. The projected best team got pounded
band went 3 for 4 against a .500 team in the BlueJays and and went 1-6 against the O's, a team with the 4th worst record in baseball. They only had to win a third of their games, and all but their wins to the Yankees were against teams that had worse records (and they had owned the Yankees up to that point).
All 45 of ESPN's Baseball analysts and writers, including a slew of players, ALL of them picked The Red Sox to win the AL East, the majority of them winning the whole thing.
They had to win 9 games out of 27! Sorry, even though it was a bigger stage in the ALCS, the competition was far greater for the Yankees than than Boston fared in September. There's NO WAY that the Red Sox, chasing a Wild Card (which was its own crowning underachievement) should go 1-6 against the Orioles in a playoff race, including blowing last nights game.
FAR bigger choke.
