It's Not Monday Morning Quarterbacking When Done in Real Time

(The metaphor applies to baseball.)

The Los Angeles Dodgers deserved to lose the World Series.

You’re down 2-1 in games, but up 4-0 in Game 4 at home in the 7th inning. Your starter has allowed only one hit. He walks the first batter. (No need to panic. Don’t forget, you have a four run lead late in the game!) He strikes out the next batter and he’s pulled! The boos debuted as soon as Manager Dave Roberts walked out onto the field and grew increasingly louder the closer he got to the mound, that is to say: in real time! A series of relief pitchers then imploded like the controlled implosion that felled Building 7 on 9/11. (That was a joke.)
