World Series: Brewers prayer ahead of Game 5

So I want to bring in now one of our guests that has joined us often here on Fox 6 Now throughout this World Series run that I know many of you guys are a pretty big fan of. Father Edward Looney joining us once again today. I know eventually you're going to give us a prayer because our viewers really like these. And, you know, we always like to help the Brewers out and lift them up in prayer here on Fox 6 Now. But for starters, you were at the game last night. You actually were also at game one and three. but for the first time the Brewers lost what was this like being inside Tropicana last night yeah my postseason record of attendance you know now has a loss in the column so um you know it was uh we were hopeful hopeful in that uh in the top of the the 12th with that home run and then all of us were kind of on the edge of our seat is this really going to happen and then there was that error in the bottom of the 12th and and then it all unfolded and unraveled and we were a lot deflated i think you could say so um i was texting some people they were texting me and they're like well how are the fans right now and uh as we're walking out though we're still doing the let's go brewers cheer so um even though defeated still hope and still cheering how different was it i I mean, game three at the Trop, the Brewers dominated. Eight runs in the fifth, ultimately winning 10-1. I know a lot of Rays fans kind of exited early. They did not do that yesterday. So was it just a totally different environment for the game? Yeah, it was in many different respects, you know, of course, with the Rays fans. And there was some around me again. And you kind of get to experience that and look back and see how they're taking in the game or how they're experiencing it. one guy had the cowbell you know and so that that was loud um you know where i was seated actually it was a little different too and maybe it was because i didn't have you know the last time i had a group of four or five friends who were all in the same area but this time like there wasn't as much high-fiving or there wasn't as much excitement of you know of peer-to-peer around one another it was just like we were watching the game and cheering ourselves but not the communal aspect that was just where I was I can't say for for all the other areas but but that was my experience at least yeah okay let's talk about I mean first of all just extra innings were you at any point like I'm exhausted I need this game to end or was it like hey free baseball let's keep going here what was kind of your attitude about that yeah when they tied it up it was like I can't believe that we're going to maybe have a 13th inning and that it was going to keep going and so you're right I think we all kind of were hoping like okay let's just let's just end this game let's win it um obviously we didn't want them to end the game and win it but that's that's what happened we didn't go to the 13th inning it was it was kind of like you got a little bonus for your money that you spent so instead of getting nine innings you get 12 and um and stories to tell you know like if you if you're at game three and game four and for those who are fortunate enough to go to game five tonight like and if the brewers were to win like what a story to tell that okay at game three they scored 10 runs at game four it was the 12 inning game and at game five they took the series like those are stories you're going to tell for the rest of your life yes oh absolutely okay take me back to the 12th inning Cooper Pratt hits this homer did you think the Brewers had it in that moment I think we all thought it was going to come to an end and you know it was just everybody was tired and we we just thought I think Tampa Bay would come out tired in that last they hadn't had any you know success or much success at at their at-bats and so you just kind of were hopeful that given the long string of zeros on the board that it was just going to continue so obviously very disappointing when when the bases got loaded And obviously that that last run came in. You know, I've been joking that we have Midwest manners. So we just wanted the Rays to have this opportunity to feel what it's like to win a World Series game. I would argue, no, we're told to love thy neighbor. I think that's what was on display yesterday at Tropicana. Yeah, I think so, too. And, you know, baseball games give you a strong opportunity to love your neighbor because actually there was a Brewers fan, maybe four rows in front of us. who like literally just stood and he was like blocking the view of home plate and i could see the person in front of me like texting like people and saying like i'm so angry right now and sending the picture of the guy and like this guy just won't sit down and um you know so so there's lots of opportunities to love our neighbor even Brewers fans but most especially this is a moment just to let let them celebrate too i suppose yes absolutely okay you have been very kind with us these last few days, presenting us with and helping us in a moment of prayer as we get ready for the games. And I really liked what you have prepared for us today because, you know, sometimes we got to feel defeat and we got to move on and we can show the perseverance here. And that's what we can do today. That's exactly right. You know, in the Catholic Church today, we celebrate St. Jude and St. Jude is the patron saint of hopeless causes. So lots of people will turn to his intercession there's lots of novena prayers to saint jude and the diocese of Saint Petersburg their cathedral is Saint Jude and also um he's their patron and so like hopefully that it's not like a telltale of what could happen tonight for the Tampa Bay Rays that saint jude's gonna pull through for them so we can't i don't think we can invoke saint jude today so we just gotta keep doing what what we've done for the Brewers because Saint Jude's praying for Tampa Bay I think so um but let us pray Lord I'll take the hat off Lord sometimes you allow us to taste defeat so that victory may be all the sweeter grant our players the rest they need after last night's long and late game give them the strength to bounce back the humility to learn from their mistakes and a watchful eye at the plate bless their efforts with plenty of hits and runs tonight and above all, thy will be done. Amen. Amen. We couldn't have put it better. Father Edward Looney joining us once again, treating us to that prayer ahead of game five. I know you are coming back to Wisconsin today, so we wish you safe travels. Are you going to land and turn the game on? Yeah, I'm hoping that the game's going to be on. My flight is actually at 6 p.m. Eastern, and then I have a layover and another flight. But I'm hopeful, you know, that the game will be on the on the screen you know i was able to watch Monday night football fly or Sunday night football rather when i was flying down so i'm hoping that's the case otherwise he'll connect to the wi-fi and just watch it on the apple sports thing yeah but i can't stay for game five it's time to go home it's time to come back to Wisconsin we miss you but we definitely appreciate you joining us once again here on Fox 6 now thanks so much Father Looney yeah thanks Hailey
