Joe, I have never understood athletes who think that God cares about the outcome of a sporting event. I think there is quite a bit of false humilty in the act of dropping to one knee, bowing one’s head, and thanking God in front of a stadium full of screaming fans.

Depends on what you mean by a muse. I believe in being amused.

By having your god’s blessing for your success you can more easily disdain or ignore those who don’t have your same success. You don’t have to feel guilty for having plenty is a world of want. Correspondingly, if someone else is unsuccessful, you can convince yourself that they unloved by their god. Thus you don’t have to worry about them.

So where does this leave the Kansas City Royals?
