Discussion happening on local radio I thought would make a good wrap-up thread here.
Mine:
June 13th, 2012: S.F. Giants Matt Cain's perfect game vs the Astros. Earlier in the day I posted in this forum how much I was looking forward to watching Cain's start. Irony? Or prediction?
2014: S.F. Giants Madison Bumgarner's relief appearance in Game 7 of the 2014 World Series. On a side note, Bumgarner's rookie start in Game 4 of the 2010 World Series often goes unmentioned, but its impact was nearly as huge.
2016: Game 7 World Series, Cleveland vs Chicago -- one of the best Game 7s ever.
2016 Game 7 NBA Championship (especially LeBron's block of Andre Iguodala, which helped to end Cleveland's 52 year championship drought)
2019: Last NFL game of the season, 49ers win over Seattle. This one exorcised a lot of demons.

(31,186 posts)You and I both know Cleveland would have won had Brantley and Cookie been on the roster. Add Bauer and an un-rusty Gomes and it would have been six games, not seven.

2012 London Olympics misty may and kerri walsh win 3rd gold medal
anytime auburn beats alabama is a good year, but

2013: With one second remaining and the game tied 2828, Alabama attempted a 57-yard potential game-winning field goal. The kick fell short, and Auburn cornerback Chris Davis caught the ball at the back of the endzone and returned it 109 yards for a game-winning touchdown in what famously became known as the "Kick Six" game.
2019 women's world cup. great team, great games.
not a great finish, but that saints vs niners game this year was a classic. i'm looking forward to a rematch in the nfc championship (but as drew brees reminds us = one game at a time. must first beat Vikings for the "opportunity" to play in green bay in January)

Also Cardinals beat Packers in the divisional round only to get blown out by Carolina in the NFC Championship game. Most memorable games are losses for my teams.
Also the Phoenix Coyotes were pretty much swept by the LA Kings in the 2012 WCF.

I couldn't "lose" as it were.
Also, Buckeyes winning National Championship with 3rd string QB.

(17,087 posts)As a Red Sox, Celtics, Patriots, and Bruins fan, it's been a remarkable decade. Actually, the second one in a row. I guess the Patriots comeback against the Falcons in the SB would be the most outstanding, based on simple improbability.
