Nobody fucks with the Jesus

While many of you speak little of sports or sports-related topics, I'm still going to post about the Phillies' horrible trade that happened yesterday. But, rest assured, the purpose of this post is not simply to talk about sports, but to ask the burning question -- what would Jesus do...on a baseball diamond.

To keep things short, the Phillies traded away longtime right fielder Bobby Abreu and a pitcher in exchange for 4 players that may never see action in the major leagues. Now, for those of you who don;t follow the phillies, bobby abreu is a good player. not the greatest ever, but he was probably the 3rd best player on the team, and one of the best offensive players in the team's history. to get some players who may not contribute to the team is blasphamy! which brings me to Jesus.

one fo the players the phillies got in the trade is named Jesus Sanchez. I suggested to my good friend and fellow Phillies fan Phaedra Trethan that perhaps this was no ordinary Jesus. Perhaps he was actually the son of god, and THAT is why the trade is so good. Phaedra immediately asked what Jesus would accomplish on the baseball diamond.

Would he ever strike out? Would he ever be called out on strikes?
Which position would he play?
Would he have to turn off his miracle powers in the postseason?
After getting a good hit, would he point to himself rather than pointing up to the sky?
If someone else on the team got a good hit, would they point to him instead of at the sky?
Would he need a batboy?
Would he need a glove?
Would Jesus Christ have his own fanclub in the stands, somewhere between the "Wolf-pack" and "Chase's Chicks"? Would they be the "Jesus Pleasers" or "Christ's Kids"?

Add your own ludicrous ideas!
