NOBLETIGER 

Baseball acronym: No-Outs Bases-Loaded-Ending (with) Team-Incapable (of) Getting-Easy-Run.

With the bases loaded and not outs even a mediocre team can trade outs for runs (e.g. sacrifice fly-outs and bunts). A team that fails at this fundamental level has committed NOBLETIGER and brought humiliation upon themselves, their families, fans, city and nation.

For non-baseball fans the situation is equivalent to having erectile dysfunction at an all you can eat brothel.
