Report from Queens
Our fair borough registers its bewilderment, as 7-train locals wonder why there are so many white teenagers wearing yellow shirts on the train today. Upon closer examination, the shirts reveal a picture of Jesus Christ and the words "Are You Ready?" and "Plano, TX." Never slow on the uptake, the collective light bulbs turn on above our heads and alarm sets in. The Baptists Are Coming! The Baptists Are Coming! The Reverend Billy Graham, every president's favorite (white) preacher man, crusades this weekend in Flushing Meadows/ Corona Park. And with him comes hope. For Graham and his throngs are crusading so close to Shea Stadium, even non-believers are praying that this will have a positive result for the Mets, who play the Yankees in the Bronx this weekend.

I myself will pray that a stray pop fly strikes 'ol whitey squarely on the temple (pun intended).
I'm probably going to Hell for that.
So, baldandeffective, your little Mets prayer worked for two games and eight innings of the Series. Unfortunately for you and your Mets, however, that was Billy's Last Crusade.
Even God and Billy Graham can't save Braden Looper.
