When the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied to win the NBA Finals after falling behind 3-1 against Golden State, the memes were vicious. Now, the tables have turned.

The Cleveland Indians blew a 3-1 World Series lead and lost at home in Game 7 Wednesday night, and the internet proceeded to let them have it.

The moral of the story? Don’t blow a 3-1 lead in the championship series. The rest of the internet, and even Draymond Green himself, will not let you forget it. Ever.
