Perhaps there is a fourth theory: Once again, God has punished the Astr*s in the most effective and terrible manner possible. How much more could He make them suffer than by bringing them to the brink of success and then denying them the Promised Land in the most public manner possible? Losing the World Series in a shutout must be frustrating as hell, and millions were on hand to witness their demise. Justice is served. It is enough to assuage my animosity.
