    “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

    How does he square this with the dbacks tradition of ritualistically sacrificing a bird to get into the world series?

    There does seem to be some idea here that there is a contradiction between religion and baseball which seems more than a little strange

    those are two aspects of his life he's a human being not a baseball machine

      Gotta disagree. Nice baseball man exists to throw baseball and make team win.

      He shouldn't have a religion unless its my religion. He shouldn't have an ethnicity or culture unless its my religion or culture. He shouldn't be allowed to speak unless he's saying what I agree with.

      And he better fucking win, or I will make bomb threats on his family.

    "Truly I say to you, the swing starts from the hips. Do not hit the ball, but through the ball", Jesus said to his disciples.

    Even God doesn’t like the Astros

    EDIT: Wrong league. Okay, God doesn’t like the Astros or Phillies, that checks out

      1. You can straight up go fuck yourself

      2. God hasn't abandoned the Astros. It is the dirty refs who have abandoned the Astros. God has clearly turned his sight from the once-blessed sport of baseball, now that the Dallas Rangers are advancing to the Series.
