A chant for the two-nine
Thursday is my 29th birthday. It is also the first game of the National League Championship Series, in which my darling Dodgers face-off against those filthy Philadelphia Phillies. And so I offer up this prayer to the goddess Nike to ensure victory for my boys:
Please let them win. Please let them win. Please let them win.
I will continue to slaughter the office Red Vines in your name.
Please let them win. Please let them win. Please let them win.

Happy Birthday Giang
May all your OTHER wishes come true,
because my Phillies are going to crush your boys in blue.
Ah, clever poetic fiend! We’ll see, we’ll see! ;)
