Those nutty Red Sox fans and their Rovian spin about the Babe Ruth curse. The curse will only be broken IF they win the World Series.

4. Calvin Schiraldi was the goat, not Buckner
Edited on Thu Oct-21-04 10:19 AM by NewYorkerfromMass
he was the guy given a 2 run lead who fucking blew it. Him and the idiot manager McNamara.
Fortunately he didn't later blow his brains out like Donnie Moore

9. Not necessarily
scored was already tied at that point. No guarantee Boston would have won the game.

8. And Bob Stanley didnt help matteres either.
They pinned the whole collapse on Buckner when in fact Stanley and Schiraldi couldnt hold a lead and finish the game.
