Theo's first move as president of baseball operations: trade Matt Garza and Starlin Castro for John Lackey
It's amazing how Buckner gets blamed for that but there are so many things that go wrong in that inning, why isn't Stanley the goat for giving up the tying run on the wild pitch that allows Knight to get to 2nd base, if that doesn't happen, Knight doesn't score when the ball goes through Buckner's legs...just sad to see a guy who had such a great career remembered and demonized for that one play.
If anyone catches it again, the 30 for 30 piece called "Catching Hell" is really great, they jump into Buckner/Red Sox and Bartman/Cubs. Very interesting stuff.
That phone obviously has buttons, no rotary dial.It's 2011..why are we still using rotary phones in the dugout?
Point still stands. Why are we using phones? Why not the telegraph? Smoke signals?
Oh, I forgot...this is baseball. Getting a call wrong isn't a flaw, it's "tradition" and replay would make games too long. Technology is the enemy and must be treated as such. Phones it is.
Oh I get that part of it but it seems to me that Stanley's wild pitch is a much bigger play that Buckner's boot. Not to mention, He didn't lose game 7. How many people even realize that was game 6? I didn't for a very long time.
