Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 06, 2010

One woman’s trash, is a man’s treasure.

The Church of Baseball of the Red Sox faith.

Oh boy, here it comes.

Is this Heaven? No, it’s Iowa.

Ahhhhhhh, Hallelujahhhhh! Behold the Lord! Amen!

…And he spake of the Seventh Inning stretch, and it was good…yea, verily…

Ye who doesn’t believith in the Red Sox faith (i.e. those devil worshipers in the Empire State) will be doomed for eternity behind a pole behind the Green Monster.

I shall now read to you from the Book of Ruth…

ye of red sox faith, beware the goat.

Beware the devil in pin stripes.

Mom quit watching the World Series when it went to nighttime games..

said it wasn’t baseball anymore….

I’m a no-watcher at any time.

And on the seventh day God created Fenway, and He saw that it was good.

Then the apocalypse, my Cubs win another World Series.

PHILLIES!!!!

Sorry, all we’ve got is the Mariners. Doesn’t quite make a conversation, much less a religion.

The Church of Hockey, of the Maple Leafs Faithful would always have a full house, and make a LOT of money! haha

lewreader…. i was born in ny and my dad was cousin with one of the yankees. can you ever forgive me? by the way, i have a Ted Williams autograph, so there may be a saving grace in there somewhere for me, but I doubt it. :)

Baseball is in the Bible - “In the Big Inning…”

Baseball is devil worship… the only TRUE religion is hockey!

Celecca made me laugh - thanks.

As for Flo’s sign…….Amen!

So explain the Devil Rays?

This discussion could go extra innings,…….or a shoot-out.

Well I, for one, believe in Angels…

Go Cubs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE YEAR!

If baseball isn’t a religion, how come it makes so much money boring people to sleep??

Was that sign inspired by some of the people here Wiley?

I may live clear across the states now, but I still stick with the Dodgers!

God bless you, vexatron1984, and Tommy Lasorda, too. Dodger Blue forever!

Note that LSU is still #1.

And the Red Wings shall rule heaven and earth with hockey sticks in hand, and Stanley shall be theirs forever!

@Chikuku: if the right-wing get their way everything WILL be religion & anyone who says otherwise gets 1 year in prison.

If everything were religion that might just be okay if I could get the tax-exempt status too.

Now we know what gets Cap’n Eddie’s dander up.

“Baseball is devil worship… the only TRUE religion is hockey!”

Oh yeah?

“In the big inning, God created Heaven on Earth. And it was without form, and void. God separated the dirt from the grass. He called the grass Outfield and the dirt He called Infield. God made the Infield a 90-foot square and the Outfield not less than 400 feet to center and 320 feet down the lines. He declared this Fair Territory. All other territory, God then declared, was Foul….” (Glenn Birkemeier)

Remember, Eve stole first, Adam stole second, but then God threw them both out. Cain struck out Abel, and the Prodigal Son came home. Then too, the Giants and the Angels were rained out.

I was watching a fight once, and a hockey game broke out. The only thing more boring is soccer.

Baseball, hockey… can I get a vote for curling?

The Tigers will suck again this year…

Greetings & best wishes to Wiley from Australia, I love your well-draughted pen & ink style & your astute observations. Needless to say I read your comix Religiously! BTW the most boring sport of which you are thankfully spared in your part of the world is cricket. Cricket IS a religion & it is the most tedious, snobbish, incomprehensible & endless form of perdition imaginable (matches go for 3-4 days under a hot sun, with all the action of a chess match). There are no fights, just quiet racial vilification & the occaisonal hit to a thick skull or shin-bone of a lead-centred, leather coated ball thrown at full force up to a speed of 90 mph. There!! I’ve included Religion, post-colonial elitism, racism & violence. Best wishes again to Wiley .. & to all the diverse commentators!

I grew up in Cleveland, live in New York, and thanks to the job, the only ball park I’ve ever been on the field was Fenway….. I’m so confused!!!

Football, then baseball. Everything else ranks a very distant dead last.

The Dodgers, since Brooklyn

Oh shoot, it’s time to change my little picture thingy,is that an alobar, no that’s a measurement of time, anyway, to a pitchers mound. ‘87, ‘91 maybe we’ll get the yank’s this year.

Sticky wicket, jasc!

Jasc - you forgot to let people know that even though a cricket test match can go for five days - it can still end in a draw.

But baseball - America - home of the world series where there are how many countries playing?

Hmmmm

Vexatron1984 and Ushindi—I too bleed Dodger blue–

Dodgers Forever!
