Said today around noon that if you didn't look at what Dee Gordon did last night and believe in God or a higher power, there was something wrong with you.

Shut up, you feminine weirdo. No one wants to hear about your sensitive soul.

You know how I know there's no God? I was at Hoosier Park on Saturday night and there was a big race called the Hoosier Park Pacing Derby that featured a local horse named Freaky Feet Pete. Pete's trainer, Larry Rheinheimer died in the paddock right before the race that night. Pete only finished second. If there were a God, Pete would have won.

God could have put some light on the jetty that killed three people but I'm sure he just did that for Dee Gordon instead.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

God works in mysterious ways. He's probably a Cardinals fan who didn't want Theo to trade for Fernandez.

This does have the potential to make for a hilarious cringey transition if he tries to bring it up around Bernstein.

I know it isn't intended to be funny... or is it, but I found this anecdote hilarious for some reason.

I believe he was talking about what Dee Gordon said.

My story was true, by the way. Good guy. Very sad. They didn't cancel the races though.

He might have at one time, but when I was listening, he was saying it himself. He made Goff a bit uncomfortable, which I would think is hard to do.

he may be genuine with his comments, but to me it's so over the top it comes off as phony...

Did he use the term "higher power"? Is he in the program now?

I don't remember - something along those lines... I think it was higher power.

After what my brother went through, I have no faith in a higher being. I'm a sucker, too. I want to believe. I went to CCD, got confirmed, and went to a Cat-lick high school.

But, my feelings now are: fuck god.

Sorry, bro. You can join JORR and me at Raymes to blow off some steam.

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

Does it seem unusual to anyone else that a star athlete who barely survived four attempts to defect from Cuba, saved his Mother from drowning on one of them, sailed over to the US on an overcrowded, makeshift boat, would then want anything to do with the water, and be out joyriding uncontrollably in a boat?

And, if the defecting thing is so important, why didn't this multi-millionaire rent a cruise ship to anchor just outside Cuban waters to collect every other Cuban who wanted out, so they only had to row/swim seven miles, or whatever that distance is? Think of all the lives he could have saved!

I know, too early, right?

I'm not an overly religious man by any means, but when shit like that happens it does make you wonder.
