Drunk Tomato: Apr 23, 2010; If God wanted us sober,
He'd knock the glass over.

Baseball is the best sport because a color commentator can be rambling during a Spring Training At-Bat about whether or not the current player up to bat is on his "last leg", then a half-second later the pitcher throws the ball squarely into the batter's leg.

No, silly. This clubhouse communicates via lunch. Different foods mean different things. By not eating lunch, he missed a vital communiqu�, and a good, proper scolding was in order. Or a sternly worded, notarized letter. Or better yet, a Reuben on pumpernickel, in keeping with the team's secret food-code.

See, when you're handed your lunch, you should be able to figure out the plan for the next few days at camp. They do this to keep hackers and media types from snooping on their intra-clubhouse communications. Also, it allows them to use bologna to mean "dick," which is generally a good thing.

Spring Training is cool for a short while because you get to have baseball! after a long and arduous drought but then you realize that the pitcher is some prospect you've never heard of and the batter is a guy you know has been DFA'd twice and you can't wait until real baseball starts.

Eh, the full quote isn't as terible

quote:

Murphy, a devout Christian, said he would embrace Bean despite a divergence in their beliefs.

"I disagree with his lifestyle," Murphy said. "I do disagree with the fact that Billy is a homosexual. That doesn't mean I can't still invest in him and get to know him. I don't think the fact that someone is a homosexual should completely shut the door on investing in them in a relational aspect. Getting to know him. That, I would say, you can still accept them but I do disagree with the lifestyle, 100 percent."

But Murphy also saw the moment as an opening for a conversation and an avenue to get past stereotypes. The issue, he says, was "uncharted territory."

While there may be a perception that Christian athletes may not be accepting of gay players, Murphy says that it is not the case.

"Maybe, as a Christian, that we haven't been as articulate enough in describing what our actual stance is on homosexuality," he said. "We love the people. We disagree the lifestyle. That's the way I would describe it for me. It's the same way that there are aspects of my life that I'm trying to surrender to Christ in my own life. There's a great deal of many things, like my pride. I just think that as a believer trying to articulate it in a way that says just because I disagree with the lifestyle doesn't mean I'm just never going to speak to Billy Bean every time he walks through the door. That's not love. That's not love at all."

Not many things more awkwardly funny than a homophobe thinking he's taking the high road.

edit: Assuming ambassadorship for all Christians and claiming they have a homogeneous stance on homosexuality doesn't actually help him out here either.
