I just unmuted it for the heck of it. Did McCarver really reference Casablanca in the same broadcast that features Scooter? I think Fox Sports is having some issues trying to figure out who their demographic is.

Like it or not, mass consciousness as been shown, perhaps proven, to affect the outcome of events.

 

That's a dubious statement ... but I'll grant you that the fans' attitude/atmosphere at Wrigley had a big hand in dealing us the events of Game 6.

You would be correct. I should know. I was there.

 

The studies that have shown that mass consciousness can affect the outcome of events are well-documented. It was something like a group of patients at a hospital were prayed for and group wasn't. The results were surprising, IIRC.

 

Wasn't there another study recently done on patients who were prayed for, meditated for, some combination of the two, or neither that concluded prayer and meditation did nothing for them?

 

I can't imagine that anyone actually believes that mass conciousness has an effect on something like the outcome of a baseball game, that's just ridiculous.

Thanks for your 2 cents. When you educate yourself, the ridiculous can transform into the sublime.

 

By all means then, please continue fooling yourself into believing nonsense.

Jerome Williams is obviously gassed, but yet he's still hitting. Dusty rules.

You would prefer he gas the bullpen too?

 

We have 6 guys in that bullpen. Why have 6 people in the bullpen if you're not going to use them? Might as well have the extra hitter on the team. I'd rather give the bullpen a chance than run a tired pitcher back out there on a 110 degree day.

I know its in one of these commentaries. I'll try and find a better link

You are correct, the study he is referencing was very flawed.

Interesting. I'd like to learn more. Do you have a link?

"The Amazing" Randi isn't the most unbiased of sources. But thanks. I'll look into it.
