The Boston Red Sox - A Prayer for the Home Opener

 

Should have asked for winning in my prayer the other week;

When I told the sports gods that the only boon I'd seek

Was a starting record better than the year before

(And that wish was granted - barely - if you're keeping score).

Red Sox stand at 1 and 5.  Last year? Naught and 6.

Thanks a lot there, sports gods.  Now, could you guys, maybe, fix

Problems with the pitching for our Opener today?

Let the Red Sox win at home we, in the Nation, pray.

I can smell the popcorn and the sausages from here...

Please dear sports gods - give us Red Sox fans something to cheer.

Haven't I been good and true?  A Faithful fan and daughter?

Let the stands of Fenway ring with strains of Dirty Water.

  Good luck Josh Beckett!

Open in case of Victory.
