But Red Sox Nation is creative.. Somebody out there began to tamper with Bucknor's Wikipedia page, producing these:



Someone else (or maybe the same person?), then created a Twitter account for the umpire:
cbbucknor: #redsox I'm at 1B, blowin' the game.
cbbucknor: Hoping for another play at 1B. Might try and turn my back and close my eyes this time.
cbbucknor: How'd I get that one right? No idea, my eyes were closed.
cbbucknor: wondering if the rules prevent me from calling a runner out after a base on balls.
cbbucknor: is taking the over on the number of blown calls against #redsox.
Red Sox Nation, I applaud your creativity. For those who want to sign a petition to fire CB Bucknor, click here.

Good stuff man.
ReplyDeleteYou find some pretty random stuff sometimes.
Hopefully Beckett will pitch like he did in 2007 tonight... we can't come back to the Fens down 0-2.
