Kevin Youkilis, David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez became the second trio in the history of postseason play to hit back-to-back-to-back homers. Ortiz is the one raising his hands to thank the heavens.

praying for domain names
Athlete Nightly has created a list of the Top 25 Sports Blogs by the Numbers and prays: “And for God Sakes, Kissing Suzy Kolber, 100% injury rate, and Blue Gray Sky get your own domain name.”
Church vs. Football
This is featured by Cartoon Blog, a British based blog, so I think it’s about soccer.

When Yoga Hurts
From Pamela Paul’s article “When Yoga Hurts” you can learn some interesting facts:
– Yoga was not invented as a sport but a way of spirituality.
– Nowadays Yoga Classes are sold as Fitness Boosters.
– Yoga won’t enhance your physical fitness.
– Today’s Yoga has totally lost its original spiritual meaning.
So basically Yoga seems to be a waste of time.
lrcyoga is a yogi that focuses on the chance of getting hurt while practicing Yoga.
Cardiovascular Bible Training
Mary Fairchild posted a review of the GoBible:
“My very favorite feature of the GoBible is the ‘Hear in a Year’ program. It’s a ‘Bible in a Year’ listening plan that takes you through the entire Bible in 365 days. I really enjoy listening to the Bible while I walk for exercise. In fact, I’ve been listening on my iPod for about a year now. But the one draw back is there’s no real system for keeping track of my progress through the Bible, and I have felt like I was just wandering through the Word aimlessly. However, now that I have the GoBible’s daily program, it’s so easy to stay on task while I walk. Each daily segment is divided into 12-15 minutes of listening and incorporates a variety of passages from both the Old and New Testament. Having this simple method to track my progress is a real motivator, both for listening and walking!”
Preparing for Halloween
The Sports Frog found out that the body of George Gipp, the Notre Dame football player who inspired the rallying cry “Win one for the Gipper,” was exhumed recently for DNA testing in his Upper Peninsula hometown. Listing “The Golden Dome, Touchdown Jesus and now digging up the dead.” they think 16:26 (Vor einer Stunde)Notre Dame will do anything to win.
Journey Into the Mind of a Sports Blogger
To find out more about who sports bloggers are and what motivates them, Ballhype asked bloggers to fill out an online survey. 135 surveys were completed July 23 – 28, 2007, providing a great set of data points with which to work, especially considering sports bloggers comprise a relatively small segment of bloggers as a whole.
Like any other bloggers sports bloggers first of all are blog readers. John Karalis from RedsArmy says: “I’m online all day long… and I’m always just checking back in to see if anything has popped. Thank God for the RSS feed.”
Morgan admits: “I normally write my blog while I’m at work, so I’m pretty much stealing from my boss.” That’s the way Basketball God’s Diaries come into being.
Erin, next time I’d love to learn a little more about sports bloggers’ religious affiliations as well. Thanks.
Kakà wins FIFPro World Player of the Year
Kakà has been voted the FIFPro World Player of the Year by 5,500 football players associated at the FIFPro (Federation International des Footballeurs). The award ceremony took place yesterday at the AC Milan’s Milanello Training Complex, Italy.
Yes, Kakà, the greatest ever, is the soccer player that belongs to Jesus.
Custom Domain Transfer
This weekend PlayersPrayers will be switched to what Google calls Custom Domain. That process will take most of the weekend because all the DNS servers of the whole internet need to be updated. But it’s worth the time. Next week you’ll be able to reach this blog via playersprayers.com directly. Feedburner will be updated when everything else works. Sorry for the inconvenience of the days coming.
