I've never actually rooted for anyone to have a heart attack live on the air before, but last night marked a first for me. As Josh Hamilton launched majestic home run after majestic home run, the commentators at ESPN took glee in beating the remarkable comeback story into the ground. This is a young man who not all that long ago was a washed up former #1 pick killing himself with a cocaine and heroin addiction. He found Jesus, cleaned up, and just 2 years later took center stage in the 2008 home run derby at Yankee Stadium. As yet another ball disappeared into the night sky, some jackass on ESPN announced, "I guess it's a bad day to be an atheist!"
Really? What with 1000s dying in the Middle East, millions dying in Africa, floods and natural disasters destroying communities, I'd say it's a pretty bad time to be a Christian. I mean if your lord and savior can't be bothered to intervene in all the global tragedies around the world but managed to find the time to jam some Viagra into (no offense to Mr. Hamilton) some asshole's bat, you'd really have to wonder about his/her/its priorities.
