He must. This is simply too glorious to admit of any other explanation.

Actually, I take it back: a sweep with A-Rod going 0-for-the-series would have been irrefutable proof of God’s existence. A four-game series win with A-Rod finally notching his first postseason RBI since 2004 is merely evidence thereof.

Although with Jeter hitting .167 for the series and the Yanks dropping three of four to a team against whom they were 6-0 during the season — with the clincher at Yankee Stadium! — is, I confess, awfully strong evidence.

I’ll have to give this atheism thing some more thought. Exit question: When does the axe fall on Torre? Click the image to celebrate.
