Bad Luck French

Runners at 2nd and 3rd base. Two out. Trailing 6-5. You were down by four runs to start the inning, but some clutch hitting and an error by the defense brings you to within one base hit of a victory.

You are Jeff Francoeur. You hit a ground ball up the middle that appears to be heading for a base hit. But don't forget you are the same Jeff Francoeur who hit into an unassisted triple play to end a game last month.

Perhaps the most uncoordinated person in baseball, Nationals "closer" Mike MacDougal awkwardly throws his glove at the ball, knocking it down. Gloveless, he picks up the ball and throws an Alleyoop to first base to record the last out of the game.

The Mets lead over the Nationals shrinks to 11.5 games...
