God Has a Sense of Humor – And Must Like Baseball

What a wonderful irony that God decided to give the Big Government Socialists the spectacle of the Atlanta Braves playing the Houston Astros in the World Series. God must be laughing with deeply felt happiness at the Georgia-Texas contest – and the failure of wokeism to stop it.

When the Braves and the Astros meet tonight in the first game of the World Series, we will have vivid proof that God has a sense of humor.

Remember when the woke left decided to punish all of Georgia for passing election reform? They forced Major League Baseball to move the All-Star Game out of Atlanta, which cost Georgia businesses an estimated $100 million in revenue. The hit was especially hard on Black owned small businesses, which were just recovering from the COVID-19 shutdowns. The power of the woke, Big Government Socialists is such that even Sen. Raphael Warnock favored moving the game and hurting his own constituents.

According to the leftwing Puritans, Georgia had been defined as an evil state. President Joe Biden lied consistently about the Georgia election law, and Democrats were overjoyed at the opportunity to smear Georgia (the state which produced civil rights icons such as Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Mayor Andrew Young, and Congressman John Lewis).

Possibly the only state which rivaled Georgia in incurring the loathing and fear of the rabid left was Texas. Its pro-gun, pro-life, low tax, secure borders, pro-work mentality assaulted virtually every sensitivity of the Big Government Socialists. From their Ivy League and West Coast bastions, they had always despised Texans on the general principle that Texans were not adequately sensitive and liberal.

What a wonderful irony that God decided to give the Big Government Socialists the spectacle of the Atlanta Braves playing the Houston Astros in the World Series.

The Astros shouldn’t even be there. Many of those players cheated to win their first ring. They should be selling shoes somewhere. Count me out.

If Atlanta wins, will MLB transfer the trophy to Colorado? Enquiring minds want to know. B

Not to mention the eeeeevil “Chop” and the Braves name, which liberals have been whining about for years. MLB pushed the franchise to adopt “For the A”, and they tried stopping the chop music/drums for a while, but the fans just kept right on and were louder than ever. So they brought it back, lol.

They had a Native American appreciation night this summer and of course the sportscasters had to ask the different tribe leaders what they thought about the name and the chop, and they all said they loved it, one said it was a pan honor, Another ginned up controversy by the left.

Braves have a good chance to win the Series, and since Games 3-4-5 will be played in Atlanta, they could win at home ...

if that happens, expect a LOT of booing when Rob Manfred appears to present the Trophy

karma, baby

I foresee a lot of “Let’s Go, Brandon!” cheers in Atlanta on national TV—don’t you?

As usual, there’s a definitive limit on how far libs are willing to go in putting their money where their mouth is. Where was the Commissioner in at least asking the owners to vote to not having series games in Atlanta since Georgia is so very very hateful? Nowhere. Now he looks like a fool. Eat it, MLB

I remember going to Braves games as a kid and seeing 'Chief Noc-A-Homa'. He would do a dance on the pitcher's mound before every game, and he had a teepee in the outfield bleachers.

During the game, he would come out of the teepee and do a war cry.

If I were Rob Manfred, I’d send someone else to present the trophy. Or maybe I’d find a nice long rope and hang myself, if I had any honor. Which he does not.

Enquiring minds also want to know if the winning team will visit the White House.

My guess is that, sensing a public relations embarrassment, the Biden administration will break from this tradition and find an excuse not to host the winners.

Maybe the Stadiums should BAN anyone that doesn’t have a Georgia or Texas ID for the entire series, just to piss them off.

I remember him growing up. In the 70s, some libtards sued to get rid of him, the teepee, and the St. Louis mascot too, but failed.

Ted Turner got rid of the teepee for a while to create more seating, but the team ended up on a losing streak so they brought it back. Anyway, it all went away in the 80s, some said that Noc-a-Homa retired but a lot of us in Atlanta think Turner probably had something to do with it.

I’m glad there is no more “Turner Stadium”. The new stadium is easier to get to, a safer area (not downtown Atlanta), and is a pretty neat setup. Residents of Cobb County weren’t crazy about it, tho.

Nah. We have a dem as a President. Different rules.

Biden will invite the winner who will submit and go to the WH.

I’d like to see the whole stadium empty.

If God decides to step in on professional sports, I rather doubt that Atlanta and Houston will be the cities He favors.

Sodom and Gomorrah to meet in the little league world series...
