tell ya what....Boston needs a Rudy. A curse buster
just because and being a serious D Backs fan,Craig
Counsell went to the Brewers in a clearing house
deal for Richie Sexton. If I was Boston,I'd fetch Counsell
in a f'in heartbeat. No. Sooner.

and just to prove I know baseball, I'd make Bill Buckner
my manager.If Buckner was to rope a World Series with
what Boston is buildin' no town in sports would yell
louder for Boston and for Bill. Ever.

You know, Buckner gets a lot of crap for that game, and I think a lot of that is undeserved--certainly to the point where he basically got run out of baseball.

Schiraldi blew the lead twice in that game--a one run lead in the 8th, I think, and then the two run lead in 10th.

Moreover, the Buckner was hurt with a bad leg, but more importantly, the game was already tied by the time the ball rolled through Buckner's legs. Most people seem to remember it now as Buckner steps on first and it's World Series over, celebration in Beantown, but all it would have done is allowed the Sox to make it to the 11th inning, and judging by the quality of pitching up until that point (Clemens included), it wasn't too likely the Sox would have won the game anyhow.

While it's true it was a ghastly error, I think a lot of shit gets heaped on him unfairly.

[Choke! Gasp!] You know BASEBALL? You apparently don't know anything about Bill Buckner.
