Dear God,
Please don't let the World Series end up being Cubs/White Sox. Don't get me wrong, I like the Cubbies. I do. But I'm talking about the evil that is lurking on the South Side of Chicago. Just because a team picks up Ken Griffey Jr. at the trade deadline does NOT make them holy or suddenly un-evil. In fact, I think they're holding Griffey's pure-non-juicing-awesome-soul against his will. Therefore, the Sox are evil and must not be allowed to be in some kind of history making "El Series" (a la Subway Series of 2000) to be talked about for all eternity.
I know, I know, that by forcing the tie-breaker last night after a heart-pounding season you were teaching us that while the good Lord giveth, the good Lord taketh away, and that we can't always get what we want. But why couldn't that lesson be taught by using the Tigers or the Royals or Cleveland? Were you trying to show us that Good can't always defeat Evil? I guess this is why you are mysterious and all powerful.
I get it, Lord. I know you have a plan. I just hope that it doesn't include the El Series. And if it does, I know you've gotten lots of prayers from heartbroken Cubs fans over the years, so please do the right thing.
One thing you did give us, that must not be overlooked: You knocked the Yankees down a peg. You showed them that Joe Torre wasn't their problem. They didn't make it to the post-season without him, but his new team did. Suckers. Thank you for that.
I'm going to go cry into some booze infused coffee now to get through today.
Love,
Marea

Well put. It would make the old Chicago fire look like a picnic in Millenium Park.
Oh, yeah, and your Judy Blume reference makes me think I should change my anme to Magglifudge.
