"The object of this competition is not to be mean to the losers but to find a winner."
Mike:
Just when you think, at last, the final page of the Bill Bucknah saga has long since been turned and the volume shelved, dusty and forgotten, we get this...
Mike:
"My first thought when it happened was, 'Wow, I get to play in a seventh game of a World Series. How cool is that?'"
Mike:
Sigh.
Doug:
Buckhah has somehow managed to become a caricature of a caricature of a caricature of himself.
Mike:
He reminds me of one of those hapless American Idol contestants who don't care how they 15 seconds on TV as long as they get those 15 seconds.
Doug:
Maybe Bucknah should audition.
Mike:
Yeah, instead of Pants on the Ground he could sing...
Mike:
♪ Lil' rollah on the ground
♪ Lil' rollah on the ground
♫ Lookin' like a fool with a lil' rollah on ground
Since you bright up TV...can we look forward to one final and epic season of Lostaholix here?

By the time Buckner is 80-, he'll be claiming that he intentionally let the ball get past him. Because, you know, he's such a competitor, he just wanted to keep playing ball.

Wow. Just... wow.
@sdu, it's been rumored that lc was seen boarding a plane at Logan bound for Cancun. Lisa the Temp was seen on his arm as he entered the airwalk. Lucky bastard!

Lostaholix is definitely a cool idea to reprise... the problem is, and this is why it's fallen off the past few years, is that I rarely watch Lost the same night it premieres. I typically am one or even two full days behind before I fire up the DVR.

Tom Jackson is already on the record saying " That's the thing I admire about Billy Buck. He was never afraid to boot a grounder"

Why all the attention still about BB? It wasn't his fault they lost that game.

Total LOL from me this morning, hb... although I now hate you because Pants on the Ground will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day, and no one here gets the reference, they just think I am having a minor stroke or something when I walk around muttering it under my breath. :)

If only Buckner's pants had been on the ground that day!

Someone posted a comment on the discussion board related to Buckner's comment that suggested he was being facetious. Seems like the more plausible explanation.

I was being sarcastic Don't you all get it? I get asked that question every day so I thought I'd start having fun with you all. At least the people in Chicago got it.
