It's the article from the Arlington Catholic Herald about the big, big game last week.
On a warm, muggy afternoon last week, seminarians from the Arlington Diocese and Archdiocese of Washington battled each other at the "Potomac Challenge," held at St. Leo the Great Church in Fairfax.The game, sponsored by Fr. Francis J. Diamond Council No. 6292, was won by Arlington, 15-8.
Arlington was led by Robert Wagner of St. Lawrence Parish in Alexandria. Wagner cracked three home runs with one of them clearing the trees in right field. When asked by his teammates how he hit the ball so far, Wagner simply shrugged his shoulders and said, "I swing as hard as I can."
Inter-seminary sports are just not getting the coverage they should in the media! ESPN Sunday morning, 4:30 AM - "Sem Sports."
They took my humble quote instead of the one where I said, "I think it's pretty obvious which side God wanted to win. Those Washington seminarians were smoted!" Sadly, I'm not so sure how to conjugate "to smite."
smite, smote, smitten.
But saying that the DC players were "smitten"? Let's not go there.
To paraphrase Bart Simpson: You smoted them! You smoted them good!
Tenses of the verb "smite":
smite=present tense
will smite-future tense
smut=past tense
Of course, I could be wrong! ;)
I thought it was "smutten."
Watch out: God's gonna smite smut!
