Stevie’s ahead of the curve. As a Bills fan, it took me years to realize that God hates us and wants us to fail. ---

From [George Carlin Quotes.](http://www.skeptic.ca/george_carlin_quotes.htm) > [@](#): > > Can’t we silence these Christian athletes who thank Jesus whenever they win and never mention his name when they lose? You never hear them say, “Jesus made me drop the ball” or, “The Lord tripped me up behind the line of scrimmage.” So that’s at least three, certainly more. It’s not like it’s something only a few would think of. ---

Kim was pitching for the Diamondbacks in Game 4 of the 2001 World Series when the Yankees hit a bottom-ninth, two-run homer to tie, then a walk-off homer in the tenth. Kim was pitching again in Game 5 that year when the Yankees hit a bottom-ninth, two-run homer to tie, then an RBI single to win again in the twelfth. Five years later, in 2006, Kim was pitching for the Rockies and gave up Barry Bonds’s 715th home run, surpassing Babe Ruth’s mark. I don’t recall him blaming god, though he may have done it in Korean. ---

Reminds me of an old SNL skit where Jane Curtin interviewed members of the losing Super Bowl team. One of the players said: _“From now on, I shall worship Satan!”_ ---
