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.

 

And you can continue fooling yourself into thinking you know better.

Walker doing something good this series. C'mon Tenacious D-Lee!

I knew that Walker could get something going against Morris.

 

Way to go, DLee!!!!

How the hell can anyone actually believe this? What happens if 2 million cub fans think positive thoughts about the game, and 2 million cardinal fans do the same? A tie?

What, no dive Jimmy?

 

Thank God the inning ended as McCarver started talking about Pujols and the MVP award. But I'm sure those morons will bring it back up.

MCCarver is a donkey!!!!!

 

He's talking about how its possible to win the Triple Crown without being the MVP. Stop amking a case for AP when DLee is having a superior year in all categories.

:shock: :shock: Honestly, at first I thought it was sarcasm. I can't believe anyone would actually believe something like that...

 

To each his own, I guess...

I'm not saying I believe it. Nor do I disbelieve it. But saying something that can't be proven or disproven exists or doesn't exist is the worst kind of arrogance.
