Setting the record straight
To the Associated Press reporter who wrote that Tony Graffanino's error in Game Two of the ALDS was strikingly similar to Bill Buckner's infamous gaffe in Game Six of the 1986 World Series ... you don't get to make those jokes or analogies anymore!!!!
Winning the title last year erased the specter of Buckner from the vernacular of all sportswriting concerning the Red Sox. If you're going to keep using it, then I fully expect to see every time the Yankees lose a crucial game someone insert the line "In a fashion eerily remniscent of their historic collapse to Boston in the 2004 ALCS ..."
Understand?
