The Antique Globe with Rex, George, and Anne
R: You are I your Antique Globe. No, let me restart that. 3, 2, 1. You are listening to "The Antique Globe." I AM your antique globe Rex Goodman, along with my co-hosts Anne Hargraves and George Cooper. In this series, we saw the County Crossing Bloodbugs come in and surprise the host The Slog Ghouls and win this series two games to one with a 7-6 victory by the Bloodbugs today.
G: There may not be a whole lot for these two teams to go on, but it was a good series with two close games, including a late-game win.
A: And the food here is surprisingly delicious. These ghouls know how to cook some delicious brahmin balls. Did you expect that? I certainly did not.
R: On top of the excellent baseball and excellent food, The Slog’s stadium, Tarberry Fields Forever, probably has perhaps the most comfortable seating in the nine stadiums we have visited so far. I love these broadcast couches.
A: Speaking of seats, can I jump in with my Bottoms Up Award for the week? Though there were no huge comebacks this time, like George mentioned, County Crossing got the series started with a ninth-inning victory in a 5-5 game. That cushy tushy hit man was none other than the Bloodbugs’ Mush Levy, who hit the two-run, game-winning home run. And, as you mentioned George, that is not considered a walk off.
G: That’s right, Anne. A walk-off hit is when the home team wins the game in the bottom of the ninth or one of the extra innings. Since Levy had the home run in the top of the inning, it was just the game-winning hit.
R: That grand information teaches us much about this complicated game. The grandest of thanks to you, George.
G: No problem. Now let me light up the awards with the Outstanding Pitcher of the Week. We’re going to go right back to Game One where County Crossing’s Front Porch Potter got the win to go to 4-4 on the season. In 8 innings pitched, he allowed five runs, but only two were earned. He allowed five hits, walked five, and struck out six.
R: That was a fine performance. And, we had no choice but to break one of our unwritten rules this week. You see, there was only one player who could win the Outstanding Player of the Week. That young man was Mushy Levy who won Anne’s award. Therefore, double congratulations to you. He hit 7 for 15 with four doubles, a home run, four runs scored, and three runs batted in. Here’s to you, young man, and keep up the grand efforts.
Well, that will complete our broadcast this week. Next week, we will be near our home when we go to Vault 81 to watch the Egret Scrappers take on the Vault 81 Dwellers.
I don’t know about you, Anne and George, but being here in The Slog has given me a little taste of uranium fever, so let’s complete this broadcast from the Charles River Trio with Elton Britt’s “Uranium Fever”:
