The next season, someone suggested maybe he should try NOT praying this year. The coach replied, “This time, I have a new prayer that’s sure to turn God in our favor.” Before the first game of the season, he got down on his knees with he team and said aloud “Dear God and Jesus, please help us kick our opponents’ asses all over the field today!” That season, the team lost every game and the coach ended up in the hospital with a mild heart attack. His wife refused to let him pray while he was in the hospital.

It will be interesting to see if the team that loses the World Series blames the Lawd A-mighty for the loss, or perhaps the ‘Godless infidels’ on the squad.

“It was god’s will that we got blown out today, ya know, he really favored the other team, and watched out for them”
Somewhere out there Dylan is singing “With god on our side”
