Fuck You Buckner
It has been less than 24 hours since my last post, but this story fell into my lap and it is worthy of a post. I was sitting at work waiting for Temple Football practice to start and I was browsing through the many sport stories on ESPN.com, when I came across this little story that revisits October 25, 1986. For those baseball illiterate, this was the night that the one the only Bill Fucking Buckner made the costly error that cost the Boston Red Sox the World Series. At this point if anyone defends Buckner and say it wasn't his fault I will kill you, piss on your corpse, and then throw a print out of ESPN's article on your piss drenched corpse just to prove a point. So before you continue please do me the justice of reading ESPN's article. Here is the Link...EYE OPENER.
Good read huh? Now let me ask this. What the fuck was Buckner thinking?! I mean you were on one cursed franchise and now you're on the other and you decided that it was a good idea to bring the two together in hopes that the two would cancel each other out? This is sports Buckner not mathematics, it just isn't that easy. If it does anything it multiplies the curse times infinity, and you deserved all the criticism you got for those 18 years between Red Sox World Series appearances. To think I actually felt bad for the guy and actually forgave him after 2004. If it wasn't for him I would have been the happiest one year old baby in the fall of 1986 because I would not have known the pains of losing that the Cubs, Pirates, and White Sox fans (until 2005) fans have known for so long.
A lot of you are probably like Boston Joe, who cares it was 20 years ago, no one is still mad about it. Well I am because do you realize that this could have cursed both franchises for a lifetime. I mean until 2004 a Red Sox fan was one of God’s most pathetic creatures, but we had company times two from the city of Chicago. Now misery has no company for the Cubs and I put the blame solely on Bill Buckner. Am I happy the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004? The answer is yes wicked happy, but if Buckner wasn’t cursed times two maybe just maybe the World Series win in 2004 would have been expected or at least old hat since I would assume that we would have been the team of the 1990’s and not the Fucking Yankees. So I say fuck you Buckner you better stay in Idaho or wherever the fuck you are because if I ever see you in person I will single handily kick your ass.
