Does this mean, if the Sox take the trophy, god doesn't exist?
"You look at some of the moves we made and didn't make," general manager Dan O'Dowd said in the only interview he has given on the subject, long before the Rockies' remarkable ascension over the past few weeks. "You look at some of the games we're winning. Those aren't just a coincidence. God has definitely had a hand in this."
Anyone who fancies the Almighty has better things to do than determine the outcome of baseball games might want to consider just what the Rockies have achieved. At the beginning of September, they were fourth out of five in the National League Western division and seemingly headed to yet another cold Colorado winter chewing over another disappointing season. Then they started winning, and didn't stop. They won 13 of their last 14 regular-season games – a freak occurrence in a sport that has always been more about failure than success, where even the strongest teams usually win no more than six games of every 10.

It's not God that watches baseball and has influence over it, it's Satan. This is supported by the years of misery suffered by the Red Sox and their fans and the dominance of the Yankees. Steinbrenner must have sold his soul to the devil after buying the Yankees back in '73. I think that contract was up in 2000 (the last time the Yankees won the World Series).
Sure, the Yankees won in dramatic fashion in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS but they couldn't beat the Florida Marlins for the title. The Red Sox then came back from being down 3-0 to the Yankees in 2004 to win the ALCS and go on to sweep the Cardinals in the World Series.
So, I would say that if the Red Sox win the World Series this year it's evidence that John Henry & Co sold their souls to the devil at some point during 2004... maybe when they traded Nomar.
