A World Series Prayer for us all...
Oct 26, 2006 | 1:54PM | report this

Dear Baseball Gods...

Thank you for answering our other prayers this season. You know-winning record, make the playoffs. You outdid yourself with that Magglio homerun thing-it was almost too much! It was hot though (sorry)!! Anyway, maybe in the midst of all that excitment we forgot to ask that you bless FOX and ESPN with good coverage. I mean, it's not your fault they can't coordinate around your "40 days and 40 nights of rain" plan. But if you see fit to rain out tonight in St. Louis and/or this weekend in Detroit, would you please, please, please bless the sports-earth with a basketball brawl or T.O. "episode" so these poor networks can have something to discuss. It was so sad today to see ESPN showing post-season highlights for the PADRES! They definitely needed some prayer!

I know you are busy but if you could please grant us with a little good weather along with a "good" storyline (you're perfect but I gotta question that Kenny Rogers thing). I, along with the other few baseball fans still watching baseball would be greatly appreciative.

Oh and if we could get a win tonight that would be great. Oh, and a special prayer for Jim Leyland and his lungs. If for nothing else, keep the rain away for him!!

AMEN

You are too funny. Nice wit and sarcasm, and oh so true.

And, so you know, I'm in agreement with ya on the prayer.

Now show me them pretty claws, tigress!

Tigress,

Looks like the rain has let up enough to let them start Game 4. Your letter worked!

Cool. Now, we all get to watch some baseball instead of the dreaded "Rain Delay" filler. Best of luck to your Tigers!

Thanks Nooch...the rain stayed away but now I'm full of anxiety over the game. It's 3-2 now and I feel the need for a shot of tequila as each inning goes by!! So much for prayer, huh?!?!

I second your prayers Tigress...Everything the Tigers have given us and our city this year is bonus. These guys and Jim Leyland brought baseball back to Detroit...they were competative and exciting...They made people change their plans to make sure they were able to watch them...They caused people to start wearing their old english D shirts and ball caps.

I am so thankful for what they have accomplished this year and I want them to win the next three games...but if they don't...well, that's ok too.

Tigress, did you hear that Leyland smoked a whole carton during that rain delay? He's gonna be talkin' out of a machine next season. I'm right with you on the prayer, though. God wants the Tigers to win this series so we can have a parade on Woodward in three degree weather!!!

Hey Jay...yes I did hear about Leyland and his carton of ciggys!! Somebody should teach that man how to knit!!

And don't worry about the temp for the Tigers parade...2 million people down Woodward and Jefferson will make for a 90 degree day!!

And the winner is the CARDS...SUPPAN (SOUP-ON),Miles looked great last night..Where is Kenny Rogers? Is he still part of the Detroit Organization or else? Sean CASEY seemed to be the only valuable TIGER last evening..Continue to pray for the Feline society because these BIRDS are increasingly thirsty for WHITE MEATS.

Hey Papi-the only thing the Cards are coming up with is Bird-Flu. Your team is capitalizing on mistakes so I give them credit for doing what they are supposed to do...

May the force be with you tonight...
