You are the perfect example of people who have revisionist memory, and it's so ingrained that you clearly didn't read my post: the Series was NOT history if Buckner made the play, that's the whole point, the Red Sox would merely have gone to the top of the next inning TIED, with all the momentum on the Mets' side.
june 6 2004, in paris.
weasel coria losing to gaudio in french open final after winning first 2 sets 6-0,6-3 and then choked like the little shit he is, including blowing 2 match points in 5th set.

1) In 2001, when Seattle won about 110 games (funny how teams improve after A-Fraud leaves), and they were 51 games over .500 and playing at Cleveland, and up by 12 runs in the 7th inning. TWELVE FUCKING RUNS!! I'm counting the money I'm gonna make on a three teamer, the other two were in already. Seattle proceeded to blow that lead, including allowing the last 5 runs to score with two out in the 9th, all off that Japanese pitcher whose name I forget, had a pretty good career in the states, but not that night. They actually "only" allowed them to tie it, but when something like that happens you know you're gonna lose in extras, and so it came to pass. They said that had happened only once before, back in the 1920s. That made me feel way better. Others:
2) Jana Novotna was known for choking a Wimbledon final away to Stefi Graf. She had an even worse, albeit less important choke: she was up 5-0, forty love, in the 3rd and decisive set, to a much longer ranked player, Chanda Rubin at the French Open-and lost. She later said she never felt completely comfortable, LMAO!
3) The Milwaukee Bucks played the Knicks at the Garden in '72 or '73, led by Abdul Jabbar and Oscar Robertson. They won the NBA championship in '71, but even during that year they couldn't win a game at the Garden. The losing streak was about 15 in a row when the game was played. The Bucks were finally gonna end that streak, they were up by 18 with 4:54 to play...and the Knicks scored the last 19 points of the game. Both Kareem and the Big "O" turned the ball over like JV players, and Luicius Allen, a 90% foul shooter, bricked two with under a minute left. I can still hear Marv Albert bellow in his distinctive voice, "And the Knicks have STOLEN a ball game!"
4) Vanderchoke at the British Open. Norman at the Masters that one year was no slouch, either.
5) And, of course, our winner, the 2004 Yankees, an extended choke job, over about a week's time, against a (perceived) weaker and devastated opponent. The Great Rivera not doing the job, not once, but twice, and almost all of the Pigs failing to hit the moment they got up 3-0: Matsui, Sheffield, Jeter, and, of course, A-Fraud. It was hilarious seeing them have an incredibly stupid signing coming back to bite them in the ass at the worst possible moment-having to start Kevin Clown in Game 7, where he got lit up faster than I can break wind. Sweeeeeet...:money8: :aktion033 :missingte :banger::toast:
uppy: :lolBIG:
I agree with your choice as #1, that was embarrassing. By the way, it was 116 wins by the '01 Mariners, the best regular season record of all time.
I had RedSox plus the juice for the series and I was just a kid and was the most dishearting thing to watch.
Actually I didn;t see it,left the house to go to a holloween party and told my buddie thier partying tonight in Boston.
Got to the party and over heard guys talking and was like WTF!
My first response was WTF WAS BUCKNER DOING IN THE GAME WITH 3 OUTS TO GO?????
