From the first base line, Shea Stadium:
Can you believe it's been 20 years since the Mets last won the World Series? Me neither. I do say, however, with guarded optimism that they look great this season.
Shout out to Bill Buckner, wherever you are. I hear Tarrantino is making a film about your folly in Game 6 of the '86 Series.
God, Red Sox fans are so lame. (and I know a few of you read these posts on occasion.)
Buckner's a much-maligned figure in Sox lore, but remember the game was already tied when he blew it on Mookie's ground ball. The Mets would have won regardless of Billy Boy's error, sans doute mes amis.
For all of those who'd like to relive that fateful night, here is the entire inning recreated with one of the best video games of all time, RBI Baseball (original Nintendo, son), complete with the annoucner's broadcast. INCREDIBLE.
