Not Unbelievable; Just Pathetic

You cannot call it unbelievable. They've done it before. And in so many ways. The only word is "pathetic".

The Royals blew yet another big lead in the ninth, losing to the Yankees 8-7. The Royals were up, 7-3, going into the ninth. Reliever Jeremy Affeldt threw away a potentially game-ending double-play ball. Then it just began to snow ball; hit after hit and the Royals went down. Per the Star:

It probably wasn’t the Royals’ worst loss. Probably.

It’s hard to top Aug. 9, when the Indians wiped out a five-run deficit in the ninth by scoring 11 times at Kauffman Stadium. There was also an 8-3 lead in the ninth that slipped away May 27 in Los Angeles, when the Angels forced extra innings before winning 9-8.

But this was bad.

And with that history, you cannot call it unbelievable. Just Pathetic.
