Joe Biden is praying for the Red Sox

The AL Wild Card race has apparently become a matter of national security.

The head of Vice President Joe Biden's Secret Service detail is a big-time Red Sox fan. Just to be safe, the Veep had everyone aboard his plane say a prayer for the Sox postseason hopes before landing in Boston yesterday.

Said Biden: "I’m worried if in fact they don’t [win the Wild Card], he’s going to be so damn miserable he will not jump in front of a bullet."
