Delillo Movie

[Joe Allonby]

No, no, no. The movie could be great but the subject matter makes my skin

The secular shiite reference is to the suffering and feelings of oppression
that Red Sox fans endured for 86 years. The infamous Game 6 was the most
egregious example of defeat snatched from the jaws of victory against a New
York team. Baseball isn't a sport in Boston. It's a religion. Oh, and I met
Wily Mo Pena last night.
