In 80+ years of not winning, there are maybe three Red Sox blamed for losses: Buckner*, Pesky (who held the ball), and Joe McCarthy (who started Denny Galehouse in the '48 playoff game). The rest of the time, it's blame the opposition (Dent, Boone, Gibson, and Babe Ruth).
* Don't get me started on this one, because Bob Stanley and Calvin Schiraldi are the real ones.
