C.: A one, a two, a one, two, three, four
Hoston has the Astros, the greatest baseball team
They hit the ball from line to line
and homer in between
Their pitchers are amazing
Their hitters are sublime
They make their opponents miserable
by winning all the time
We’re the.. Houston Astros, Houston Astros, Houston Astros number one, two three four (ring)
d. : Hi, Cal.E What are you doing on your night off from working at The Kennel?
C.: Oh, hi, d.c. I was just getting ready for the Astros’ game tonight. I invited Ralph over for some “refreshments” while we watch the Astros'' game. He isn’t very familiar with baseball, since his dad and his dad’s dad weren’t avid baseball fans. I’m going to “show him the ropes” tonight while we….
“enjoy refreshments.”
d.: Cal.E., you do realize that the Astros don’t play tonight, don’t you?
C.: Then why did CNN say that the baseball playoffs start tonight?
d.: They do, but it’s the ”wildcard round.” The Cats Need kNowledge website should have told you that the Astros, along with the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, and St. Louis Cardinals drew a bye in this round, since they’re the four teams with the best records.
C.: Oh, well, at least Ralph and I can watch the other teams that will be the teams the Astros will defeat. I’ll teach my son the nuances of the game while we… ""enjoy refreshments.”
d.: I’ll bring you that information on a twelve-step program as soon as I can, Cal.E. Until then, just try not to overindulge….
C.: That’s all the time we have for today, folks. Join us tomorrow for another episode of “Cal.E.’s Corner.”
