Why Point at the Sky??

I just assumed God was the one dropping rosin from the sky as necessary.

I think they really want to pick their nose and are just over excited.

just reminding themselves that their passed on loved ones' memories keep them going-- keep their heads straight.

I think any religion or belief system places value on the dead. Personally, as a daoist I believe that I should pay respects to my ancestors whenever I can, because without them I wouldn't be in the position I am today.

Regardless, I don't think they're trying to say they are somehow performing as well as they are today because of some kind of direct supernatural contribution from the departed.

What's wrong with blessing the dead?

when something goes wrong in my life. . .  Because I know when something bad happens, it's Satan taking the time out of his hellish day to influence my life.
But that's just me.

Guess which finger?

"Why point at the sky when the batter hits a fly ball?" A fly ball was hit "up"? Really? Thanks for the help!

should be pointing in the general direction of their illegal supplement providers (heh, I guess that's how you say "drug dealer" when talking about baseball these days).  But given ths choice, I could see why they'd go with the sky instead.

because he doesn't make a big goofy scene out of it like K-Rod, who is assuredly one of the most annoying players ever to put on a uniform and really needs to stop the carrying on and show some damn respect and humility out there and quit yelling like he just won the World Series every time he saves a game.  Some players who do it don't claim to be pointing to "God," like Swisher who is pointing at his grandma, who is presumably situated somewhere in close proximity to "God".  

What can I say, opium is the religion of the masses or somesuch.

An athlete brags and boasts and takes all the credit himself --- he's an arrogant jerk.
Somebody else maybe acknowledges another reason for success and he's "trying to shove religion down our throats."
Can't win for losin'.
Don't get me wrong, I hate overly-dramatic "anything," but pointing to the sky is hardly anything to get excited about.

have recurrent epilepsy corresponding to the final out of the game?
