At the end of the article. Heh. Shouldn't a bunt down the third base line be a homicidal squeeze? I mean, it's not the runner who is causing his own death, but the other guy, the batter, causing the runner to get out.

Randy Charles Morin [1] Randymorin: This is incorrect. A suicide squeeze is when a squeeze play is executed with the bases loaded. That is, the player is dead at home, he cannot go back to 3rd base. This is another example of Wikipedia morons redefining the world. I've seen this article quoted incorrectly in several places on the Internet.

I took out the video because it is not a suicide squeeze. It is an over-zealous base runner and a pitcher who is not paying attention. The base runner makes it all the way to the plate before the pitch ever reaches the batter. There is no reason to bunt, because the runner has already made it home. 70.179.180.13 17:09, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone want to tell me what the hell the 2004 NLCS section is doing in there? Should we put a section for every suicide squeeze ever performed? Give me a break. I'm getting rid of it (not like it matters...a Wikipedia fan-boy/slave will probably put it back up). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.186.151.231 (talk) 01:09, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Took about 2 minutes actually. I'm at least deleting the end part of the section. The outcome of the series (and entire postseason for crying out loud) is unnecessary and adds nothing to the definition of a squeeze play. Even Wikipedia can't get around that logic....or can they?
