baseball greinke and Buddhism
Well baseball is going to be a big topic in out blog, along with other political and even religious topics along with your range of bullshit. Baseball represents life and the challenges and the symmetry the ups downs. everything evolves around threes there are 3 strikes 9 innings 9 players on each team for a total of 18 etc.
its also one of the few sports that by playing by a set group of rules you can win. you dont bunt here, you swing for the fence there people know whats going to happen and yet teams still score and teams still lose, its awesome.
the here comes Zack Greinke. he is known as a flake of sorts and he marches to the beet of his own drum if you will. the way he sets up his pitches doesnt coincide with the way every one else does. the man has 6 pitches four braking balls a change up and a killer fast ball and thats just what i know of.
he brings a touch of chaos to a system thats so strongly based on years of tradition. i love that it shows that if you are smart enough and or cray enough anything can be possible.
i feel being a anarchist can be a good thing i dont mean on the way that you go around wearing store bought patches and what not i mean being a free thinker. standing up for what you feel is right not because its cool but its right.
there in lays my point in a world were things are so set in stone people need to be aware and think for themselves.
i use Greinke as my base for this topic because of the said reasons above to me(and i understand if no one else gets it) it makes sense.
now for religion, i have bean known to be a little on edge at times. so over the past few weeks i have made a real effort to fallow some of the ways of Buddhism, and so far so good. i set up what i like to call a good vibes table, on this table are a plant i work real hard to keep growing in a white vase i keep spick and span, there also some candles organized in a nice fashion that flows with the table. now other things that can go on this table are pictures of family i put my wonderful girlfriend Megans graduation certificate on there and so on.
well the other day i put my royals hat on this table and they lost.
this brings me to my point sports and any religion dont mix. God or whoever or whatever believe in doesnt care if you win or loose.
THEY HAVE BIGGER THINGS ON THEIR HANDS
i dont care when athletes bring God up for this i am going to use the example of Kurt Warner and Tim Tebow.
to me it seems they use God to seam better than everyone. because Gods on their side.
summation, to me baseball is like life and every now and then you have to introduce something new to change up the rotation.
a real life example of this is the Kongo river there are fish in the same species that never see fish outside of their school. this limits their ability to reproduce without inbreeding. if something was to change maybe they would evolve for the better.
and Religion doesnt have any place in sports
Thank You
