I feel like maybe you were being sarcastic. Clint: Well, I wouldn't call Reilly a born-again thumper -- just an idiot. Or at least a writer that is out of his element on TV. And Hamilton is just a beast of a baseball player that also happens to be a very religious dude. He gets the press because of the former. I totally agree with everyone else. I’ll try to address each comment:

Is there a more inappropriate place to make a steroids joke than at an MLB event? Reilly is such an idiot. Pretty sure Reilly made some joke about steroids too.

That was an idiotic thing to say, and it's a shame that born-again thumpers get so much press for no real reason. I’m an atheist AND a fan of Morneau and the Twins.

It wasn't a lousy night to be an atheist (as i am one), it was a lousy night to be a Sportscaster. What an embarrassment he is. Yeah it was a dumb comment.

If god is behind Josh Hamilton's swing, isn't that worse than cheating with steroids? I have no problems with Josh crediting god for keeping him clean. I also have no problem with a reliever crediting his success to hopping over the line when entering the game either, but it'd be equally ridiculous for an announcer to blame another pitcher's bad outing on stepping on the line.
