NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

In 1964 the Philadelphia Phillies were all set to coast into the World Series to face the New York Yankees. They ended up losing ten straight in September, handing the National League pennant to the St. Louis Cardinals by one game. (The Cardinals won the Series that year.)

If you've been paying attention, this year's Cardinals seem determined to bring balance to the universe. They are currently in first place, but have lost seven straight (the Houston Astros have WON seven straight), and their division lead is only 1 1/2 games. It's entirely possible that they could hand the division title to the Astros this week.

It would be irresponsible for me to ask you to pray for this (seeing as how there are MUCH more important things to pray for), but if you could wear a little more red this week, I (and the Cardinals) would appreciate it.

GO CARDS!
