I was in Boston during that event. Man, were people ****ed off at Bucky
Dent!

I've always liked the Red Sox. I recall watching Ted Williams play
against the Orioles in Memorial Stadium. Is it true that they're
considering abandoning Fenway? That would be sad.

I was sitting next to the guy I bet against in the
reception area of the Boston hospital I was
working in at the time when he lobbed that
pop fly over the green monster.

Two words sum up, for me, the post-season fate of the Red Sox: Bill
Buckner. :-)

1986 World Series

Against the odds, I was also in Boston during that deplorable, obscene
moment. If people were ****ed off at Bucky Dent in 1978, you can imagine
how they felt about Bill Buckner in 1986.

People with any sense were more ****ed off at the coaching call to leave Buckner
in the game. Buckner's play was a big factor in getting the team TO the series,
but, when he could hardly walk, he should have been replaced.

So, exactly which planet have you been living on for the last 85 years?

Good point.

At least it appears that the agony won't be prolonged this year. {:-(

All a Sox fan can say at this point is "Remember Cleveland". . .

I'd like to thank all of the little people who made this prediction possible.

About 3 of them in the Hub of the Universe and I
visit every once in a while to regain my own
centrality. Why do you ask ?


Then you should surely know better than to question how hard we Bostonians
tend to make things on our own ;-)
