Right on Maceman...I would shake your hand but I sprained my wrist really badly last week trying to do a jive shake...some things white folks just shouldn’t try...
At the time Buckner encountered the error, the score was tied, 5-5. The previous pitch had plated the tying run on a wild pitch...Red Sox were in full collapse mode at the time of Buckner’s error...
Getting technical for a second...Buckner’s error came in the 6th game of the world series between the Red Sox and Mets...The Mets then won game 7 to capture the series...while Buckner’s error did not actually lose the series for the Red Sox, it did cut the heart out of that team...it was as demoralizing a defeat as one can have in baseball...the clubhouse workers had broken out the champagne in the locker room and one of the broadcast team was in the locker room ready to interview the victorious Red Sox...As the ball rolled through Buckner’s legs, the clubhouse team raced to remove any and all signs of a victory celebration...for a team sport, it doesn’t get any worse than that...
It may be the cynic inside me, but I believe that this whole situation is being stage managed to provide a path to the nomination for Bush...Having Walker as the leader now, will deflect attention from Bush and when Walker falters, he will, Bush can rise up and take command of the nomination...this all should play out just before the nomination...but that’s just the cynic inside me talking...I told you earlier, no more oreos until I finish this post, now shut up...
Due to my many mental deficiencies, I was not allowed to participate in any brain games...I was however offered a spot in the motor skills geezer limp off...Dang little old lady from Phoenix tripped me with her cane...I had better never catch her with an IV drip...
