Do you think Bill Buckner would have bet Mookie Wilson to the bag if the ball didn't go threw his legs?

It would have been close, but with two bum wheels, Billy Buck wouldn't have made it. But you can't blame him...why?\n\n5. Roger Clemens left the game after seven innings. Clemens has insisted he did not leave the game willingly, and most observers of his career believe him. \n\n4. Calvin Schiraldi's pitching put the Mets in a position to tie and win the game, and the game was already tied at the time of the error. Had Buckner made the play, the game would have moved to an eleventh inning.\n \n3. Pitcher Bob Stanley and catcher Rich Gedman miscommunicated on the wild pitch that tied the game. \n\n2. As noted, Mookie Wilson would have beaten Buckner to first base even if the ball had been properly played. \n\n1. Manager John McNamara. He took Clemens out against his will; he pinch-hit Clemens not with veteran slugger Don Baylor, but with rookie Mike Greenwell, who struck out on three pitches; he refused to replace Buckner for defensive purposes as he had done all postseason; he brought in Schiraldi to start the inning instead of Stanley.

I didn't see it, but I can believe it.  His team had a terrible day, especially the WR's.  His passing is not the best.  I'd suspend him for 2 games (1 for each flip) and see what Scuab (spelling) can do.\nThese days, it couldn't hurt.  Look what Romo has done for the Cowboys!

It is generally credited to the Hall of Fame baseball player and manager Yogi Berra, who is perhaps known more at this point in time for his oxymoron sayings rather than his baseball accomplishments during the 1940's - 1980's.\n\nHis point being that even if unlikely due to the odds (score), until the game is complete, anything could happen and be a rallying point.

Good point but moot. It was Bledsoe's job to lose.

absolutely not. he was sticking up for a teammate like players do all the time. he unfortunately took things a little too far and injured another player. it could've happened to anyone! would you like to be shunned for life if u made a mistake?

Absolutely he should be fined or reprimanded somehow.  Coach Cowher and Big Ben had a conversation about this same topic last year after Kellen Winslow, Jr. had his accident.  I am sure in his contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers states no "risky" behavior clauses.

if you have a horse going off at 3-5 like Barbaro did today, you aren't gonna win much money betting on him unless you plunk down A LOT (100 or more) and even then, if Barbaro breaks his ankle, like he did, you lose bigtime.  It's not a safe way to make money.  The thing I like to do is do an exacta or trifecta in that situation.\n\nToday, I would have bet Barbaro with Brother Derek, Sweetnorthernsaint, and Bernadini finsihing 2nd and 3rd in a box.  It would have paid quite nicely, had Barbaro won.

I hope so for my dads sake. Dude did you watch that last game? I thought that the guy caught the ball and scored! phew that was close!

yes..i think he caught lawler with a good shot and knocked him out..but he couldnt beat karo parisyan...and he got stomped by sanchez after running his mouth

To be perfectly honest, there are good chances of that occurring. Having had 3 major surgeries in his legs in the past several years, Tim Tebow is now in the big leagues and if Urban Meyer allows him to run like he did in high school, things will only get worse. Sure he's a beast at 6'3'' 235, but facing the hard hitters in the SEC and the rest of the country, they won't go easy on him. I pray that he doesn't get hurt, but it very well might happen.

Yes we won fair and square. There were bad calls on both sides of the ball. The cheap-shot on McCoy was uncalled for and he needs to be punished !!!!! Gig 'Em, WHOOP!!!!!!!!

I dunno.  I could see Al taking a pitch or two.  I don't think they were all straight handoffs. Heck, maybe there was even a little pass to the flats to get him isolated on some wimpy db's.
937284
Yes they did.  They traded him because he didn't get along with Maurice Carthon, and look where that bozo is now.  The Browns are stuck with Derek Anderson and Ken Dorsey as their back-ups......yuck.\n\nFor more on the Browns and the NFL, check this site out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

Yes he should because he played the game. He was wrong not to turn the others in BUT that shouldn't keep him out of the Hall. He should have been kept out of the game, forced to retire. The ones who were cheating should have been kept out of the Hall. Bonds isn't IN THE HALL for the record. Neither is Big Mac, who proably won't get in. I'm sure he is pissed that Bonds hasn't retired because Bonds is a reminder of that era and it will make the voters vote against him as a punishment to what he likely did. Until they are in you can't compare the two situations.

No, absolutely not.  He forfeited that with his gambling.  Too much association with known bad guys.  Gambling must be kept as the absolute no-no in sports, as it taints the integrity of the game more than anything else.

That would be Harry Chiti and Cleveland.  It also happened to Dickie Noles on the Cubs in 1987.
