C.: Now that the boys are involved in a discussion about baseball, I can watch the lost episodes of “Nine Lives to Give,” and finally know what was supposed to happen before my favorite serial was cancelled… Tucker, why are you changing the channel? The baseball game doesn’t start for another two hours!
Tux: Yes, but the president is speaking tonight. I want to watch his speech before we watch the game. I guess we’;; just watch the first part of the game on my DVR.
C.: Curses! Foiled again!
Meanwhile, in Arlington
RALPH: Oh, wow! That stuff Mom had left over from her catnip days was potent! I shouldn’t have stolen it and eaten so much! Where am I? Oh, yes, I’m in Arlington, but why? Oh, that’s right, to sing the Astros’ theme song that Mom made up for something called the ALCS. I can’t remember what that stands for, so I’ll look it up on CNN.
Okay, here it is. Cats Need kNowledge says that these letters stand for the American League Championship Series of Major League Baseball. In the late second and early third decade of the twenty-first century, these games almost always involved the Houston Astros playing a less talented and less deserving team. However, this year their opponent is the worthy and talented Texas Rangers.
Hmm. I guess I should practice before I go to Globe Life Stadium and sing.
A one, a two, a one two three four
Houston has the Astros
The greatest baseball team
They hit the ball from line to line
And home in between
Their batters are amazing,
Their pitchers are sublime,
They make Rob Manfred miserable
By winning all the time
We’re the…
Houston Astros
Houston Astros
Houston Astros
Number one, two three four
LET’S GO ASTROS!!!
Back in Houston
d.: So, Tucker, do you think that the Astros will win tonight and even the series?
Tux: Yes, because we have the A-Team.
d.: The A-Team?
Tux: Yes. Jose Altuve, Yordon Alverez, the Abreau boys: BryAn and Jose, YAnier DiAz, Micheal BrAntley, Martin MAldAnAdo, Dusty BAker, ChAs McCormick, MAricio Dubon, Alex BregmAn, Jeremy PenA, Justin VerlAnder, FrAmber Valdez, RyAn Pressley, ChristiAn Javier…
d.: LET’S GO ASTROS!!!
