I’m not about to broadcast my religious (or lack-there-of) views to all of baseball nation, nor will I criticize any persons and their faiths during this blog.  Let that be clear.  I am very liberal and open to many different ideas, and understand that while persuasion and certain forms of bribery can alter ones ideals for the wrong reasons, I do believe that all people are entitled to believe whatever they stinking want.

The Bambino = God’s punishment for Frazee’s Greed and love of Broadway?  If you say so.

Steve Bartman = Spawn of Satan?  Sure.

 

The Goat = Chicago’s modern day Sisyphus?  Not likely, but maybe.

  (p.s. I moonlight as a Cubs fan – I am an equal opportunity fan and like to spread my over-abundant love to the NL too)

So really the point of this post is that Cleveland’s Opening Day falls on Good Friday.  (As does Detroit’s, Milwaukee’s, KC’s, Colorado’s, Atlanta’s, and Oakland’s)  Luckily for me my faith does not condone the consumption of processed meat products on any particular day (memo back to my “About Me” if you require citation to my flexible vegetarianism that also allows this.) 

What’s Sugardale to do?!  All that delicious stadium mustard will waste away in those mid-concourse condiment stations.  Will the 7th inning hot dog race be banned?  How much jurisdiction does the church really have over America’s Pastime?  Will I be hissed and booed at if a certain religious folk catches me salivating over my foil-wrapped deliciousness, savoring every artery-clogging bite and then washing it down with a frosty brew?  (Which will be kept quite frosty as it’s likely to be hovering around the freezing point on April 10th on the lake…)

I’m personally not all that concerned about it.  If you made the dedication to buy tickets the moment they went on sale, take a day off of work, and weather the elements, it’s likely you’re there purely for the love of baseball.  If that does or does not include a stadium frank, that’s for you and your Big Guy(/Girl?) to handle.  I’m gonna enjoy the game either way.
