I did one of these weeks ago but it was a hack job, so I ditched it.
Very cool.
Who is Judas in this one? I had Tito as him. After all, he was the only one
who could betray them. ;)
Damon = Jesus
Francona = Bartholomew
Schilling = James the Younger
Tek = Andrew
Cookie = Judas (oh my)
Manny = Peter
Pedro = John
Millar = Thomas
Lowe = James, brother of John
Trot = Philip
Foulke = Matthew
Embree = Thaddaeus
Mueller = Simon the Zealot
Are you sure about that one? I doubt it.

Would it be? It's Leonardo's painting, not Gospel.

Ah, thanks for this. Wish Bellhorn coulda made it on instead of
Embree, but oh well. Too many players, not enough disciples. No
Cabrera either. And it probably woulda been more appropriately symbolic
to make Garciaparra the centerpiece of the painting...
Catch you later.

You've got Matthias, Bob. He was enrolled to bump the numbers up to 12 after
Judas' demise.

the stuff that sticks with you!
Nomar had his own painting, coming off the cross (during his extended injury
hiatus). It was on Dirtdogs, I looked but couldn't find it. Very funny.

If it's OT, put that in the subject line.
>Millar = Thomas
Someone gave little thought to player positioning in the pic. Too bad.
Tito for Judas, Lowe for Thomas.

It's not though, so far as I can see. It's on-topic. It may be
spam (depending on one's definition), but it's on-topic spam.
Holy fucking relax.

I was wondering if you'd notice that. Thanks for the sig quote.
(Of course, I think I meant to write apostles. I always get them
confused).
Not meant as bait but as theological curiosity (and your beliefs
here may well differ from others', I understand): could there have been
more apostles? (Significantly more apostles might lead to significantly
more acceptance of his message, which might lead to... well, one assumes
you believe the passion to be necessary and fated... dunno where exactly
I'm going with this, other than to ask what how much you believe that
stuff was fated to predetermined and on which things there was some
leeway?) Definitely feel free to write me directly -- remove the word
spam from my address.

I make no claims whatsoever to understanding the intricacies of the mind
of God, or His plans. I have faith in His promises, and claims made
about Him in the Bible; specifically in answer to your question, I have
faith in regards to His plans coming to fulfilment regardless of the
actions of any one person or group of persons. To put that (hopefully)
more clearly, God's plans will turn out as He forsees them. If someone
refuses the call, He's big enough to get someone else to fill the gap.
He even used Cyrus.
Now, that being said, I don't feel there's any reason to believe that
there were any more apostles than those enumerated in the scriptures.
Apostle was a distinction given based on having actually been among
Jesus's "inner circle" of men who followed him throughout his ministry.
It appears, though, to have been somewhat expanded after his death,
resurrection and ascendence into Heaven. For instance, they chose
Matthias to take Judas Iscariot's place. And Paul claimed the title,
based on his experience on the road to Damascus. Generally, it seems
the number of apostles remained 12, with occasional substitutions. But
after they began dying off, they were not replaced. Of course, that
doesn't square with the Catholic dogma concerning the Pope (originally
just the Bishop of Rome) being an Apostle, in a direct line of spiritual
descent from Peter, the first Bishop of Rome.
So, were there more than just that few? I don't believe so, and there's
certainly no good historical evidence to suggest otherwise.
Sorry if I wandered a bit there...

Who are all those guys? I don't think Simon or any of the others ever player
baseball . ASAICS the only thing offensive about it is the price. I'd buy
one for $19.95.
You never heard of Simon? Loved the game with a fierce passion, hence the
nickname. Peter was a catcher, nicknamed 'Rock', later started the first
dynasty as a manager. John was a pitcher with a very unique delivery.
Matthew became an agent after he stopped playing, IIRC. Bartholomew was
famous for having lots of hats.
No wonder he had an Achey Breaky Heart!

Philip invented the screwball. Don't forget him.
