October 25, 20169 yr http://www.sportingnews.com/mlb/list/mlb-teams-worst-postseason-memory-yankees-red-sox-braves-cardinals-cubs-bill-buckner-steve-bartman-jorge-orta/1koawa7vv9tuy1g90cnh5hac1z/slide/15 This made me laugh. Each MLB team's worst postseason moment is listed. The Marlins? They're the only team that kinda doesn't even have a bad postseason moment... 15. Miami Marlins: Well, this is awkward. The Marlins are the only team in MLB to have won every postseason series they’ve played, so it’s hard to find a “worst” moment or experience. But we’ll go with this: When Mike Mordecai flew out to start the top of the eighth in Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS, the Marlins were five outs from elimination. The Cubs led 3-0 and Mark Prior was cruising. Things looked bleak. That was probably a rough time for the Marlins and their fans. Don’t gloat, Marlins fans. You’ve still had to put up with 21 non-playoff seasons. Lol, click the link to read about the other teams' worst postseason moments.
October 25, 20169 yr I vote for Dontrelle Willis's start in game 4 of the 2003 NLCS. That was a must-win game and he totally sabotaged it.
October 25, 20169 yr Game 3 in the 2003 NLDS.. I sooooo badly wanted Lenny Harris to drive in the winning run in the 10th (I think) with the bases loaded That game 3 of the NLDS was something else. One of my all-time favorite games
October 25, 20169 yr I wish we had a real worst postseason moment. It would mean we'd have enough postseason appearances to suffer failure and heartbreak. It's like being proud that you didn't fail out of college like those other dumb kids when you weren't even accepted into that school in the first place. You don't brag about that.
October 25, 20169 yr Author I'm gonna throw a swerve in here for humor. Our "worst" postseason moment was when Beckett tagged out Posada for the final out of the 2003 World Series to give us our 2nd championship in just 11 seasons of existence. Why was that the worst? Because it started an ongoing streak of 13+ years without a postseason appearance. Damn you Josh Beckett!
October 26, 20169 yr Author The 13 year drought (AKA duration of Loria's ownership) 2016- 2002 does not equal 13 years
October 29, 20169 yr I don't think we would have the "worst postseason moment" when we have only "TWO" postseason.
October 30, 20169 yr I vote for Dontrelle Willis's start in game 4 of the 2003 NLCS. That was a must-win game and he totally sabotaged it. Seems like it wasn't a must win game
October 30, 20169 yr Seems like it wasn't a must win game Must win game does not equal elimination game
October 30, 20169 yr I'll agree with [uSER=860]@el penguino[/uSER] here - Dontrelle's Game 4 performance was probably the low point in Marlins playoff history, and was definitely a "must win" game. Having the Cubs go up 3-1 on us was pretty rough, especially knowing that, at best, we were going to go back to Chicago and face Mark Prior and Kerry Wood in games 6 and 7, assuming we would have won game 5 [and then 6]. Thank God for Dusty Baker's managing in game 6 [and also Alex Gonzalez of Cubs].
October 30, 20169 yr Author The premise remains the same...our worst playoff moment is whenever it seemed the bleakest for us even though we always ended up winning in the end.
October 30, 20169 yr It was like game 3 or 4 against Cubs at home in 03 and Aramis Ramirez hit a home run that devastated me. They lost that game but that's the lowest moment I remember.
