The coach of the Lake Mary Florida Little League team says they won because he was "prayed over" earlier in the week and was told "its done" "its written in the books".
Florida beat the Chinese from Taiwan 2-1 in extra innings.
Florida was losing 1-0 going into the bottom of the 6th (last inning in little league). They showed the coach talking to his team in the dugout. He said (not exact words, but close) "We're going to win boys . I was prayed over and told the Father says its written in the books"
I'm not sure thats what ABC TV was looking for right there, but thats what they got. He repeated the same thing to an interviewer after the game.
I watched the RNC and the DNC and many people there also guaranteed victory and invoked that higher power.
Exactly, that’s the sort of thing we expect from the RNC rubes but it was shocking to hear so much about God from the leaders of our science Party at the DNC.
To many there has never been any doubt about the existence of God, a baseball game is certainly no t the proof of God's existence. Except to the uneducated or fanciful of course.
The Chinese coach said after the game that The Buddha had let them down.
More accurately (per Buddhism), karma caused them to lose.
Karma, ain't it a b!/ch, am I right?
Maybe he was a bad coach and his players couldn't play.
Win or lose, mythology and superstition plays no part.
Exactly, only dumb luck got them to that game.
Indeed. And yet, many resort yo superstition based on wins.
Helluva coach to take credit away from the players and give it to whatever delusional person of the higher powers guaranteed that victory.

???? This must be new.
Perhaps, you don’t think of the Dem Party as more of science than than the Repubs?
The candidates and delegates openly wearing crosses, the Star of David or wearing Sikh turbans?
Exactly, where did the science go?
I wonder if the coach would have blamed God if they lost.
Their god works in mysterious ways.

Looked to me like they won because the Taiwanese pitcher threw the ball to an imaginary first baseman instead of a real live catcher.
