Allah may be great, but his favourite sports teams the Boston Red Sox (L, 4-2) and Chicago Cubs (L, 8-3) added new chapters to their long and tragic history last night.
The difference, in both games: the ability to capitalize on key opportunities and get the big hit. Boston hasn't been able to all series, while Florida found a way last night. Now the Red Sox are depending on John Burkett to get them past Game 6, and given his history against the Yankees it ain't betting odds. The Cubs? They can still win today's decisive game, but it's a coin flip now - and they'll have a less than ideal pitching setup if they do make it to their first World Series since 1945.
UPDATE: 'The Big A' has some thoughts of his own: "Let us not discuss yesterday's events, kufr. Allah is immortal, but if he were not then he would have a gun in his mouth this morning. What is worse, he senses that today shall be another naqba..."

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
