O Woe is me! Game Seven Depression!

PostThu Sep 27, 2012 1:45 pm

OK, I'm throwing myself out to the community for counseling and advice. Last night brought another game 7 finals loss; always tough to take, but especially given this is the fourth game 7 loss in the last month - all in the finals! To make it even worse, I led 3-1, 3-1, 3-2, 3-2 in each of them sequentially.

My question is what should I do? My options as I see them:

1. Walk out of my office and just go drink heavily.
2. Give up this madness and pursue a sane hobby.
3. Bribe HAL and his new handlers.

Any and all thoughts welcome (sharp objects have been removed to the furthest regions of my home!)

Have begun 1 & 2 already Harry. No 7th game woes here, though. Just getting tired of teams climbing to 20+ games over .500, only to collapse down the stratch and miss the playoffs by a game or two :evil:

I say #1 (just make sure to call a cab or even better a friend to drink with you and share a cab home - we don't want anything bad to happen to you).

Number one, just thank your lucky stars you're even in a position to lose game 7 in the finals.

Number two, you must be doing something right to get that far, you have to expect your luck
will turn around eventually.

Number three, the next thing you know, someone else is sharing their tale of woe losing all
the time to YOU in the finals.

Thanks, gentlemen, for your thoughts and consolations.

I've crept off the ledge back into the house now. At least the view of changing leaves provided a few refreshing moments to the experience!
