    Verse 1
    If 
    Bobby 
    Ojeda 
    hadn't 

    raged 
    at Sullivan 
    and 
    Yawkey 

    And 
    hadn't 
    been 
    traded 
    to 

    the Mets 
    for Calvin 
    Schiraldi 

    If 
    Oil 
    Can 
    Boyd 
    hadn't 

    been 
    such 
    a 
    nutcase 

    And 
    Jim 
    Rice 
    had twice 

    taken 
    an 
    easy 
    ex
    tra 
    base 

    Verse 2
    If 
    the Red 
    Sox 
    had 
    had 
    a bet

    ter 
    playoff 4th starter 

    Instead, 
    Nipper 
    served 
    up 
    a big 

    fat 
    slider 
    to Carter 

    What 
    would Seaver 
    have 
    done 

    if 
    not 
    for 
    his 
    bum 
    knee? 

    Would 
    he 
    have taken 
    the 
    ball 
    and 
    ex

    acted 
    revenge 
    on 
    his 
    old 
    team? 

    Verse 3
    If 
    Gooden had 
    pitched 
    like 
    the real 
    Dr. 
    K 

    Or 
    Donnie 
    Moore 
    hadn't 
    had 

    that 
    nightmare 
    day 

    That stuck 
    with 
    him 
    'til 

    he couldn't 
    take 
    any
    more 

    And 
    turned 
    his 
    own 
    kitchen 

    in
    to 
    a killing 
    floor 

    Verse 4

    And 
    John 
    McNamara, what 
    the 

    hell 
    was 
    he 
    think
    ing? 

    Was 
    it 
    him, 
    not 
    the party 
    boy 
    Mets, 

    doing 
    all 
    the 
    drink
    ing? 

    If 
    he'd 
    hit 
    Baylor 
    for 
    Buckner 
    and 

    yanked 
    the first 
    baseman 

    For 
    his 
    by- 
    the- 
    book 
    late 
    inning 

    defensive 
    re
    placement 

    That 
    ball 
    would 
    have 
    been snagged 

    if 
    it'd 
    ever 
    been 
    hit 

    And 
    Mookie's last 
    name 
    wouldn't 

    now 
    be 
    "86" 

    Verse 5
    Bob Stanley 
    picked 
    a pretty 
    bad 

    time 
    to 
    uncork 
    a 
    wild 
    pitch 

    And 
    I'm sure 
    he's still 
    thinking 
    that 

    you 
    could 
    have 
    blocked 
    it, 
    Rich 

    Then 
    the tying 
    run 
    might 

    have not 
    been 
    tallied 
    by 
    Mitch 

    If 
    one 
    play 
    killed 
    the 
    Sox, 

    can 
    you 
    please 
    tell 
    me 
    which? 

    Verse 6
    I 
    guess 
    everything 
    happens 

    for 
    some 
    sort 
    of 
    reason 

    And 
    there must 
    be 
    a tragic 

    en
    d 
    to 
    every 
    long 
    season 

    If 
    even 
    one 
    man 
    doesn't 
    do 

    one 
    thing 
    he 
    does 

    We'd 
    all 
    know 
    Bill 
    Buckner 

    for just 
    what 
    he 
    was 

    A pretty 
    tough 
    out 
    for 
    the Dodgers, 

    Red 
    Sox 
    and Cubs 

    Verse 7

    Ten 
    thousand 
    at 
    bats 
    and close 

    to 
    three 
    thou
    sand 
    hits 

    And 
    he 
    stole 
    plenty 
    bases 

    before 
    his 
    leg
    s 
    quit 

    As 
    tough 
    to 
    walk 
    as 
    he 
    was 
    to 
    strike 
    out

    But 
    there's 
    only 
    one 
    play 
    that 
    ever 

    gets 
    talked 
    about 

    Verse 8

    Now some 
    kind 
    of 
    fame 
    lies 

    in 
    being 
    a scape
    goat 

    And 
    if 
    not 
    that, 

    then 
    you're 
    just 
    an 
    historical 
    foot
    note 

    And 
    your 
    22 years 
    playing 

    ball 
    might 
    be 
    forgotten 

    Maybe 
    Bill 
    Buckner 
    was 

    lucky 
    his 
    luck 
    was 
    so 
    rotten

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
