Jamie:        So . . . did you guys see the ballgame on TV?

 

Tyler:        Nah, why bother, my Padres didn’t make it to the playoff round.

 

Morgan:      So what? . . . Most teams don’t make the playoffs, that doesn’t stop us from watching the games, straight through to the World Series.

 

Jamie:        My Mariners have never won a pennant but you can’t keep me away from the TV on playoff day.

 

Tyler:        But how do you stay motivated when your team never wins the big game?

 

Jamie:        For sure I am disappointed when my team doesn’t win but I enjoy good baseball. That takes me out to the park or in front of the TV.

 

Payton comes on stage

 

Morgan:      Hey Payton, how’s your day been?

 

Payton:       Don’t even talk about my day!

 

Tyler:        What’s so wrong with your day?

 

Payton:       I am once and for all done with praying!

 

Jamie:        Wow! . . .  That sounds for sure serious Payton! . .  I thought you were way into prayer.

 

Payton:       I for sure was . . . but lately seems my prayers are like bouncing off the ceiling.

 

Morgan:      “Bouncing off the ceiling?”

 

Payton:       Falling on deaf ears?

 

VOG:        You are saying I am deaf?

 

all startled

 

Payton:       Oooops, sorry! . .  I didn’t know you were here.

 

VOG:        I thought we had established that I am always here.

 

Tyler:        Sorry! . . . I think Payton misspoke . . . What I think he meant to say was . . .

VOG:        Yes Tyler, you go ahead and un-mis Payton’s misspoke.

 

Tyler:        I think what Payton was thinking was . . . .

 

VOG:        I know what Payton was thinking, and what you were thinking as well Tyler. . . . Knowing what you think is what you guys sometimes refer to as . . . “a God thang.”
