Fla. Baseball Team Kills Snake To Stop Losing

PALM HARBOR, Fla., Apr. 9, 2009

(AP)  A Tampa Bay area high school baseball coach has been temporarily relieved of his duties while authorities investigate the killing and burial of a snake on his team's field. A Palm Harbor University High School second baseman said the coach told the team last week that they were "snake-bitten" and needed to stop their losing streak.

So, the student said, the team bought and killed a snake, then buried it on the field during the school's spring break. The coach wasn't present.

A Pinellas County schools spokeswoman said the coach was temporarily sidelined while authorities investigate. A sheriff's office spokeswoman says nothing has been found on the field.

Um yeah.  The coach wasn't there, but he's suspended.   :whatever:  Yup, in FloriDUH.

Nothing found on the field but the coach who wasn't there and didn't tell them to kill a snake is guilty.  Yep, makes perfect sense to me.  :mental:

They had to buy a snake?  In Florida?  Christ, no wonder they're losing.
