Swisher commits an error and a runner scores. Of course, the top of the 9th ended up being an easy 3-up, 3-down, so I would have won the bet absent the error by Swisher.
That's actually probably not a great example because I was only covering by half a run. But the other day I had the U8.5 in the Angels/Yankees game, there were 4 total runs into the 8th inning, Boone Logan loads the bases and then gives up a two-out grand slam, and even then I'm still covering by half a run, Girardi pulls Logan and puts in Joba f*cking Chamberlain who gives up another run to kill me.
