Missed a strike

A phrase used to hide your utter disappointment and anger when you nearly have a perfect run of something but then at the last moment you fail.

Guy 1:
I missed a strike after having a week of compliments and then one damn insult. Agh!
Now I feel terrible as if the other good things don't count.

Guy 2:
I was totally chatting up this girl and thought I was in when she dropped the boyfriend bomb as I went to kiss her. Agh!
