World Chumps Stage Historic Choke

Sometimes, a team just doesn't know how to win. Snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. Lets no-one defeat them, but beats themselves. I refer, with no small amount of glee, to the New York Yankees.

I watched last night's game with a neighbor of mine, a life-long Yankees fan, and told him, after the Sox had opened up a six-run lead in the second inning, that I hoped that the Yankees would win a "moral victory."

(They didn't.)

For those of you who don't follow sports, what the Red Sox achieved is this: the first time in baseball history that a team has come back from a three-game deficit to win a series. Only the third time in all of professional sports.
