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...
