    There were no doubt Cardinals fans praying too? Are you suggesting
    that god favored the Sox? This reminds me of Jon Stewart's witful
    observation that when athletes "hit a home run" they always "point
    up". But when the commit an error, or strike out, "why don't they
    point up then?" Or even point down??

    Perhaps the headline in St. Louis today should run, "God Deems
    Cardinals Unworthy of World Series Win, Decides Sox More Faithful".

    Now if we could only get god off sports betting for a while, to look
    at other important global matters...
