False hope image

Since getting the tying run to the plate and the having your worst ABs of the night is a recurring theme of the 2007 Mariners, I think we need a specific image to represent it.

I'd recommend that someone modify in some fashion this image I found of Jay Buhner homering in game 3 of the '95 ALCS. It was the most false hope I've ever felt:

I started tracking this last summer
It was called the "Mariners futile moment of hope brought to you Make-A-Wish Foundation". I also became so depressed after about a week that I promptly stopped it after a week.

The image for me is Stevens catching the ball at the 1 yard line in the 4th quarter of SB XL only to have it called back 5 seconds later for holding. For those precious few moments a Seattle team was in all likelihood going to win a championship. Then God remembered that we were playing.
