Divine intervention?

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - It seemed like an almost literal answer to their prayers. When two New Zealand pilots ran out of fuel in a microlight airplane they offered prayers and were able to make an emergency landing in a field — coming to rest right next to a sign reading, "Jesus is Lord."

If Jesus makes the third out, does he come back for another at-bat?
 
Whenever we fall behind, I yank the starting pitcher and send in His Holiness.

Jesus saves.

Only after Peter denied him three times, right?









I'm so going to heck for that.
 
Reporter: So you guys have lost six in a row and fallen out of first place. Why is this team struggling so much right now?
Judas: Well, that Jesus guy just isn't pulling his weight. He's blown what, five saves this month? Dude is more concerned with saving souls than saving games. Our third baseman doesn't have that problem. He's on some sort of mission.
Reporter: Yeah, Mohammed's sure smashing the ball.
Judas: Sure is. He's a little intense, but it's really just passion. He wants all the fans on his side, whether they like it or not.
Reporter: What about your other teammates? Do you feel like they share that passion?
Judas: Some do, some don't. Buddha's always worried about killing a bird ever since he saw Randy Johnson do it. He used to chunk it, but he's lost 5 mph off his fastball and put on 20 pounds since then. Not that you can tell. And Shiva has that great delivery, what with the eight arms and all. You can't tell wear the ball is coming from. If she'd just get her head in the game and stop whining about the concession stand serving hamburgers, she'd be unstoppable.
Reporter: What about your contract situation, Judas? Any progress there?
Judas: Yeah, a little. They're giving me an extra 30 thousand for winning the Silver Slugger last season. It's not much, but it's better than nothing.

Dude, nice. But I'm sure that time could have been put toward something a little more productive.
