Time for a new GBA

There have been many fanposts recently about replacing certain Dodger players from the line up or the closer role. I say we need to change something much more important. God Bless America.

First off check these lyrics out:

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Through the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My home sweet home.

Never seen or heard the first part of the song have you? For a song that is supposed to be patriotic we never mention the part that its supposed to make us patriotic. Its also the part where the song makes the most sense since its an actual prayer to God. The Dodgers are actually being anti-God by not singing the first verse! How dare they!?!?!?!?! I AM SO MAD ABOUT THIS. BTW, don't use stats to argue against me. I hate it when we use our brains to make points. Points are shiny and they make me bleed.

 

Actually, I don't care about this really. Just want to point out that we as a community, (and I'm no expectation, I wrote two fanposts slamming Rafael Furcal, and Blake DeWitt.) The Furcal one was so bad that Phil went out of his way to claim that it was that kind of crap that he tries to avoid.

 

But if we are going to use a new GBA, let me recommend the old school version by Robert Montgomery Bird and published in 1834 for a more thematically connected GBA.

God bless the land that gave us birth!
No pray'r but this know we.
God bless the land, of all the earth,
The happy and the free.
And where's the land like ours can brave
The splendor of the day.
And find no son of hers a slave?
God bless America!
God bless the land, the land beloved
Forever and for aye!
God bless the land that gave us birth.
God bless America!

 

P.S.

 

I have no point.

Good thing too, or you’d be a bleeder.

This made me laugh

Agreed

That’s a good line.

Gameboy Advance may not be the best closer on the market

Rudimentary creatures of flesh and blood, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
