I'm looking for video of Chip Ambres' legendary error (pictured above) against the Indians on August 9, 2005. Most of you remember the game: after losing 10 straight, the Royals took a 7-2 lead in to the 9th and promptly gave up 11 runs in the top of the 9th. We lost.

Here's ESPN's recap.

Here's Will's post mortem. This was in 2005 and things haven't really changed. Will's cynicism is justified.

Here's the massive 5-comment game thread. Tony B's comment is best:

Royals lead 7-2, bottom of the 8th

It looks promising, but you never know with these guys.

I can find plenty of narrative on the interwebs, but I can't find video. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
