They Really Were On A Mission From God (or g-d if the “O” offends you)
Divine intervention. What else could possibly explain how the Colorado Rockies have steamrolled through the National League competition in the 2007 postseason? Three game sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies. Four game sweep of the Arizona Diamondbacks. Seven wins in seven games. And this phenomenon can only be explained by the act of a higher power.
It is abundantly clear. God wanted to spare us all from any more damage inflicted by TBS’ coverage of the 2007 playoffs.
So thank you god, for not making us sit through any more than the minimum seven games. And thank you, Colorado Rockies, for being the instruments of god. Even though I suspect that at least half of you keep a little sumthin’-sumthin’ in your crucifixes around your neck*. Yeah, that’s right. That’s called the “Sarah Michelle Gellar“.
*Please, please don’t sue me. Ever since 2005, my investments (consisting mainly of Mark McGwire rookie cards) have just tanked. Damn the Mitchell investigation.

Dk, did you even read this post? Or are you just commenting on it?
Is the “you” in this comment me? Because I can’t lose the World Series. My team didn’t even make the playoffs.
And I’m pretty sure that Red Sox Nation is a religion. So in your world, god is Jason Varitek. So god does exist.

Yes I read the post it is just that I find it hard to believe that your god has nothing better to do than to help your team win baseball games. Please get your head out of your a$$.

Dude, the whole post is a joke. So my head is currently nowhere near an “a” and two dollar signs.

And I’m not sure where you’re getting the idea that I’m a Rockies fan. They’re not “my team”.

No joke, Blastings. Yikes. I think I’ve met this guy at Fenway. I think he spilled his $7 beer on me and then shouted unfunny, profanity-laced comments for several innings.
