Cindy McCain and her children own a stake in the baseball club the Arizona Diamondbacks. Barack Obama owns no portion whatsoever of either the Chicago White Sox or the Chicago Cubs (even though he's still the snooty elitist and all, see how it works?).
So it is pleasing to note that the D-Backs, who led their division much of the season, have lately really choked and have almost played themselves out of a playoff spot. They're under .500 now and trail the Dodgers by 4.5 games. Basically at this point, the Dodgers would have to go 4-9 in their remaining 13 games, and the D-Backs 10-4 in their remaining 14, for the D-Backs to overtake the LAers. Not likely.
Meanwhile, both Chicago teams (Obama, a south-sider, prefers the Sox) lead their divisions. A Cubbies pitcher even threw a no-hitter yesterday. If you don't know what that is, read this and consider that, in a league in which roughly 4,500 games have been played so far this season, there have been just two no-hitters.
Anyway: God likes Chicagoans. So let it be written. So let it be done.
