That was a great day for me. I went to OTB and put $300 to win on Angle of Pursuit who won easily at 7/1 odds. Then I came home and watched the Masters with my entire family. It was pretty awesome.
I just did some fact checking. Faldo shot a 67 and Norman a 78. Faldo won the tournament by 5 strokes after trailing by 6 strokes going into the final round.

A apologize if you wanna keep this "baseball only", but could I add Greg Norman at the Masters as a 3rd option lol? That might be the biggest collapse in the history of sports...

'69 Cubs have to at least be mentioned.. Too good of a team to be known as chokers.

I could swear that the Cards have had two 10 game losing streaks this season
come on, what first place team can even do that and get away with it? if they were in any other division they'd be going home I'd fire every manager in that division, including LaRussa

Faldo shot 67 that day to Norman's 78.
Faldo hit 16 greens in regulation that final round and he had 15 uphill birdie putts, which is the key at Augusta. Pratically a flawless round of golf.

Geez Astros were pathetic tonight in a game they knew they needed to win, should we call this a major collapse?
Ah, the irony of it all. Cards now in front 1 1/2, two days left to go...... Cards are playoff bound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well,having watched the Cards beat the Dodgers every single time they played this year,I knew they had more than they showed,and they answered the bell whenever the Reds,or Houston came up alongside them.All I knew about the postseason,is that I didn't want to play the Cards in the 1st round.I thought they would win that 1st round,and then lay down( as usual.)The thing that was different this year,is that they never(ever)had to face the pressure of being expected to do something,and that seemed to be the KEY for this group.To be honest,they enjoyed coming in under the radar.To win the World Series,you need 2 things:
1)make postseason 2)have enough pitching potential Of the teams that made the post,the teams with the necessary pitching potential were the Padres(choked offensively,)the Tigers(what an up n' down bunch,)the Mets(actually they had a shot if they'd have bunt in the 9th inning of game 7,)the A's(now that's a choke folks,)and the Cards(the winners.)I believe the Yanks,Dodgers,and Twins never had enough starting pitching potential to win the World Series(yes,Hilda,you can win over 90 games in the regular season with mediocre starting pitching,but you can not win consistently in the post that way.)
