OK. I'd never start a thread like this if the Pats were playing today, but they aren't and I can't resist.
Those of us who have been following the Patriots since before it was popular to do so remember where we were and how we felt when "Roughing the Passer" was called on Sugar Bear in 1976 and then we remember our sense of elation when Karma balanced the scales when the Tuck call was overturned about 25 years later.
Flash back 30 years to the ball skipping through Buckner's legs, giving the Mets life in a Series the Sox had "won" and then flash forward to last night when the ball skids under the glove of Daniel Murphy, opening the floodgates to the runs that would give the Royals a 3--1 hammer lock on the Series. Like the Mets in '86, the Royals will still have to win one more game to put it away, but you know what I mean...especially when the final two games are in KC.
Sure, it ain't exactly the same since the Sox aren't playing...but it's sweet nonetheless. The only team I dislike almost intensely as I dislike the Jests is the Mets...
