rationalization

There must be an explanation for this. Possibilities:

  • God is no longer a Yankees fan;
  • God is still a Yankees fan, but is showing us some tough love; or, more specifically...
  • God is still a Yankees fan, but realized that Yankees fans have finally become more obnoxious than Red Sox fans (have we? I don't recall tipping over any cars after a football game while shouting "Red Sucks!") and therefore is trying to teach us a little lesson in playing nice;
  • God is still a Yankees fan, but is a little pissed off about the avodah zara implications of a "curse" and therefore wants to teach us all a little lesson in monotheism;
  • God hates me (unlikely, because I'm cute);
  • God hates Derek Jeter (less cute, but still unlikely);
  • God doesn't hate me, but S/He loves Rachel and Ernest more than S/He loves me (possible, they are also cute);
  • Someone (maybe God, maybe not) moved the piano
Whatever the case...good game, guys. Good series. I didn't cry myself to sleep last night, and I'm somewhat relieved that I won't be up past midnight for all the World Series games, but when I do bother to pay attention next week, I'll be rooting for you. Because, really, being a good fan is about loving your own team, not hating the other one.

(unless it's Harvard)
