d.: Well, I managed to avoid anyone telling me the score to the Astros-Mariners’ game. I’ll sit down and watch it on my DVR while I relax.
Hmm. It looks like Cal.E. sent me a text. She knows that I had to work today. Why did she attach a picture of her youngest female kitten to her text? I guess I should read the text?
C.: Hey, d.c., I managed to procure three tickets to the game this afternoon. Ralph and I are going to “pay” for the tickets during the seventh-inning stretch. Since I can’t get in touch with you, I suppose I’ll give the third ticket to Jodie, since she’s a big Astros fan now.
d.: I guess I should pay special attention to the seventh-inning stretch.
What a game! We’re headed to the seventh-inning stretch of this excellent post-season game between the Houston Astros and the Seattle Mariners.
Take me out to the ballgame
d.: The crowd is singing “Take me out to the Ballgame,” and no sign of Cal.E. and Ralph yet
clap, clap clap, Deep in the heart of Texas
d.: Still no sign of either Cal.E. or Ralph. Oh, wait, there they are! Ralph is going to play while Cal.E. sings. I guess that’s the way they're paying for their tickets
Ralph: A one, a two, a one, two, three, four
C.: Houston has the Astros, the greatest baseball team
They hit the ball from line to line and homer in between
Framber is amazing
The big man makes Scott scream
I should have stayed in Houston
And managed my former team
We’re the…Houston Astros, Houston Astros
Houston Astros number one
Our Astros will beat the Mariners
The Yankees, and then L.A.
We’ll prove to Rob Manfred
The Astros are here to stay
We’re the…Houston Astros…Houston Astros
Houston Astros number one
d.: If Cal.E. can earn premium seats for THAT song, maybe I can come up with one for the next game and get good tickets for it. I should get started in case this series goes to game five and the series comes back to Houston.
