casual profanity

[KentuckyBlue]

There's a strange little independent national association (calling it that gives it WAY much more dignity than it deserves) in Versailles, Ky. (and hey, we hillbillies pronounce that Ver-SALES, not ver-sigh) whose rules will toss a player for "g.d." but apparently doesn't care about other profanities. Like Mike, I'm uncomfortable with this -- just because some guy is head honcho we've all got to observe his little language quirks? Not that I'm encouraging people to belt out a string every time they pop up or fly out -- my 11-year-old daughter's often among the many children in the crowd.

But a game ain't a Sunday service and I'm not worried about their immortal souls. Even if I were, I don't happen to believe that there's a word or phrase you can say that's strong enough to put your soul in jeopardy. (which means being at the risk of being put out -- of heaven, presumably.) Jeez Louise, I can't even get the infield fly rule straight, don't ask me to interpret theology.
