Doing that East Coast thing
Just aired an info box noting the four walk-off homers Mariano Rivera has surrendered in his career. Fair enough.

At the bottom there's a little bullet point with the words All came on the road.

Really? I had no idea. I thought Mo had given up walk-offs at Yankee Stadium. In the top of the 9th or 10th or 12th. The team that hit it was so happy it left the field and the umpires were so shocked they declared the game over.
 
I love the term walk-off. But I also love when people try to make things so much smarter than they are.

Walk-off whatever should be banned, and ESPN sucks giant hairy donkey balls.

Especially when some people at WWL call game-winning touchdowns "walk-off" touchdowns. Ugh.

Someone needs to take the term walk-off and use it in a bar setting...you know, when the person you flirt with as last call begins ends up in your bed. "Yup. Got a walk-off lay."

Are you serious? I hadn't heard that yet. Man...

Announcer: "And what a clutch move by BYH in the bar tonight."
Color Commentator: "That's right, Biff. Another walk-off lay. Just when you thought all hope was lost, he was able to swoop in and nail home the victory."

And then you get home, and the closer blows it.

Esp. if you're BYH.

One pitch ... eight seconds ... ballgame.
 
Excellent catch.
I know I'm making a mistake here, but someone remind me why people hate the term walk-off so much?

Because it's slang. Game-ending or Game-winning is way more appropriate.

Announcer: "And here is the call to the pen. He's wasting no time in bringing in the closer.

Color Commentator: "So far this year he is a perfect 2 for 2 in save opportunities."

Announcer: "And here's the pitch. It's a fastball, and that one got up a little too quickly. He put it right into the danger zone, and I guess you can say he has some egg on his face after predicting the win."

Why do you hurt me so?

It's one of those love-hate things, I'm sure. :)
