You can say all that but Im sure you would have said the same thing before these comeback were completed, right?


Days later, we're still trying to wrap our brains around the Tampa Bay Rays' collapse Monday night at Cleveland.

How remarkable: Just 10 days after staging the biggest comeback in team history (winning 8-7 after trailing 7-0) against the Indians, the Rays returned the favor with the largest collapse in team history. They took a 10-0 lead and led 10-4 going into the ninth, but lost 11-10 in Cleveland.

Here are some other memorable collapses in major-league history:

-- The impossible comeback

Monday was not the Indians' first big comeback. The biggest was on Aug. 5, 2001. The Mariners, who won a record 116 games in 2001, took a 12-0 fourth-inning lead and led 14-2 in the seventh when manager Lou Piniella pulled starters Ichiro Suzuki, John Olerud and Edgar Martinez. Even the Tribe seemed to throw in the towel by pulling stars Roberto Alomar, Travis Fryman, Juan Gonzalez and Ellis Burks. But the Indians rallied for three in the seventh, four in the eighth and five with two outs in the ninth to tie. They won 15-14 in 11 innings. "What they did is almost impossible to do," Piniella said after the game.

-- The improbable comeback

The Indians again. Down 8-0 to the Blue Jays on June 4, 1995, the Tribe rallied and eventually won 9-8 on Paul Sorrento's two-out, two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth.

-- The most impressive comeback

More Indians magic. You have to go all the way back to May 23, 1901, but it might have been the best comeback ever. The Indians trailed the Senators 13-5 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth before rallying for nine runs and a 14-13 victory.

-- A long walk

On June 8, 1989, the Pirates scored 10 runs in the top of the first inning and Pirates announcer Jim Rooker said, "If we lose this game, I'll walk home.'' The Phillies chipped away and chipped away and actually won rather easily, 15-11. Rooker made good on his promise, walking from Philly to Pittsburgh after the season, raising money for charity along the way.

-- Kruk's comeback

On Aug. 21, 1990, Tommy Lasorda's Dodgers had an 11-1 lead at home in the eighth when the Phillies scored what seemed like two innocent runs . Then the Phillies, sparked by a three-run homer from John Kruk , scored nine in the ninth, held the Dodgers to win 12-11.

-- A baker's dozen

On June 18, 1911, the White Sox had a 13-1 lead against the Tigers in the fifth, but ended up losing 16-15 thanks to four hits and five RBIs from Detroit's Ty Cobb. Also, the (here we go again) Indians had a 14-2 lead against the Philadelphia A's on June 15, 1925, but ended up choking it away in a 17-15 loss.[/FONT]
