Here's one (it should be noted, I'm playing on Hall of Fame difficulty, which really shouldn't mean anything except it does):
I'm the Yankees, up 6-0 in the fifth inning on the Blue Jays and lighting up Buehrle. Meanwhile, Sabathia is cruising, having given up 2 hits through 4. Top of the 5th, lead-off hitter singles, then another single, then a 3-run homer so it's 6-3. I "managed" to get out of the 5th without any further damage. In the bottom of the 5th, I had a runner on third with 1 out but failed to get him home because I popped out (happens ENTIRELY too often with runners on third and less than 2 outs) and at that point I could smell something going on.
Top of the 6th, I bring in Carpenter who had started warming up in the previous half inning. I also had Wilson ready in case I got into trouble. Carpenter walks the first batter on a 3-2 pitch that I aimed right down the middle, but it ends up outside by at least 6 inches. Next batter, first pitch double into the right centerfield gap, scoring the run and making it 6-4. I do a mound visit to relax my pitcher. First pitch next at bat, guy hits it to the EXACT same location of the previous batter (even though it was an inside fastball to a righty), resulting in an RBI triple and a 6-5 game. That's it for Carpenter, so I bring in Wilson. Next batter hits a sac fly to tie it at 6. One batter later, Dioner Navarro jack and I'm down 7-6. So they score 7 unanswered runs while making 5 outs to take the lead. Expletives were then thrown at the television. I ended up losing 7-6.

That sounds terrible. I hope Jordy Cake was not around to see that .
