There Is a God

TwwpqlpxI've just received email with the same title as the title of this notice: There Is a God. The email body made the following proclamation: “The Yankees lost.” While I don't necessarily claim that this evidence alone suggests the existence of an omnipotent power (after all, the Yankees have won more World Series than any other team in baseball), I would have to say that I received the news with some relief. I would furthermore say that though New York's loss is likely not the proof we've been looking for with regards to God's existence, it would be appropriate at this moment to say a word of thanks. I sometimes wonder how much lesser Major League Baseball would seem without a team to despise. I likely will never know the answer to that question. Except, perhaps, in the post season. The difference (to me) between the Angels and the White Sox is one of very minor degrees. I suppose I will cheer if the White Sox win the series. But my cheer will seem somehow less full of joy than when the Yankees lose in game seven. And the Angels ain't the Yankees, no matter how you slice the players' salaries. For now I'll enjoy what I have been given. And say my thanks. And cheer, however feebly, “Go Sox!” ♻ Major League Baseball : 2005 Postseason Game Wrapup.
