Jesus Hurt My RBI

11:06 am EST June 1st, 2006 | Politics | 17 Comments

You’ve got to wonder – maybe if the Colorado Rockies spent less time moralizing and more time focusing on, you know, baseball, they wouldn’t be in last place in the NL West. (as far as I know, our two local teams – the Nationals and the Orioles – stink for purely secular reasons)

    I wonder if there are any athiests or Jews or Muslims on the team. I imagine this must be a stifflingly repressive environment for them. But I guess if I were on the team I’d just have to suck it up because, as we all know, baseball was founded as a christian game. It’s in the rules, check it out (said with an O’Reilly sneer).

    Answer me this, where was the snark 10 days ago when the Rocks were in 1st?

    3.5 Back on June 1st means jack squat.

  3. RSG says:

    The Rockies, Christian or not, have just about zero chance of winning the division, and a not much better chance of winning a wild card berth. Ain’t gonna happen. Jesus doesn’t seem to be answering the prayers sent up at the prayer meetings. Wonder why.

    They’re wasting their time- Jeebus is a Yankees fan.

    This just might be the worst day in Oliver’s life:

    Jessica Alba is a Jesus freak!

  6. BD says:

    Farris – Alba says she was a born-again, and that the people she used to hang out with made her ashamed of showing off her body. Obviously, she has something left of her youthful modesty, but not nearly as much as she once had. I will never understand why those who purport to know God’s limitless wisdom think they have the right to hide his most glorious creations.

    So she may be Christian, still, but that don’t make her a “Jesus freak.”

    This is the second or third case in two days that one of O-Dub’s conservative posters has linked to something they clearly failed to read.

    “Jessica Alba is a Jesus freak!” My kind of Jesus freak!

    From her interview in the link:

    Q: European beaches are known for being topless. Might you try that?

    A: I would if it were just me and my guy, but the paparazzi seem to pop up everywhere.

    Q: So bikinis or one-piece?

    A: Bikinis are more flattering on my body. I wore jean shorts to the beach when I was a teenager. I was an insecure teenager and a born-again Christian hanging out with a group of kids that made me feel bad about showing my body. But I learned I shouldn’t be ashamed of what God gave me.

    Besides, OW gave up Jessica for Anna Benson, remember.

    She seems to be talking about formerly being bornagain.

    No accounting for taste, I suppose.

  10. I didn’t give her up. And yes, my kind of “Jesus Freak”.

  11. Can you cons really not read? “I was an insecure teenager and a born-again Christian”.

  12. SaveFarris says:

    She seems to be talking about formerly being bornagain.

    The “was” relates to her being an insecure teenager, not being Born Again.

  13. BD says:

    So Farris, she’s still a Born Again who has no problem playing a stripper?

    She must go to the most enlightened fundamentalist church in the universe.

    As for the USA Today article on the Rox? Bah!:
    “I don’t try to be a Christian to be a better baseball player,” [Helton] said. “I try to be a Christian to be a better person and father. I struggle with it every day, like everyone else in the world. I want to be a better person, like everybody else.

    “The story was overblown. I’m not sure what the guy was trying to do. We have good guys who show up every day to play hard and win.

    “We’re dirtbags, like 99 percent of the world. Maybe worse, because we are baseball players. Some guys are Christians and some guys aren’t.”

    I must be blessed as I cannot load the Malkin link referenced in the above article. It just shows up as a blank page.

    As a Rockies fan I wish I could read what your were all talking about.

    As a longtime fan of the team I can say that while they are often bums who cannot play the game the Rockies rarely have true jerks on the team. In their whole existence I can only think of a handful of arrests or fights or reports of abuse–mostly by 3 pitchers. (Wow what a low bar we set for our sports idols. Almost as low as America! Not nearly as bad as a despotic Tyrant!)

    They are a young team (Last year their unofficial nickname was Todd and the Toddlers) and played well through April and May until they stunk up a Division road trip.

    As I said I am kind of typing in the dark as I cannot see Malkin’s dribble.

  16. SaveFarris says:

    So Farris, she s still a Born Again who has no problem playing a stripper?

    Didn’t disrobe, did she?

    She must go to the most enlightened fundamentalist church in the universe.

    Must be the same one that ordained Jesse & Al. Or that considers Pro-Abortion folks as “moral”.

  17. factcheck says:

    Ferris, you must be the dumbest person on the friggen’ planet. Why do you give a damn whether Jessica Alba is born again or not?

    Maybe if you signed up to support your president in the Great Struggle in Iraq you would have more important things on your mind than Jessica Alba’s religious persuation.

    FYI, this entry is about the Rockies. Get you own blog if you want to talk about Jessica Alba’s religious persuation.
