The Metal Bucket with George, Anne, and Rex
G: Welcome one and all to “The Metal Bucket.” I am your host George Cooper. Joining me today are Anne Hargraves and Rex Goodman. We just watched the Vault 81 Dwellers clinch the weekend series here in Week 10 versus the Egret Scrappers in Railroad League action. Anne and Rex, we had an amazing series with all three games decided by one or two runs.
A: It was the most exciting weekend we have seen so far!
R: Tides of impressiveness washing over our very souls.
G: Yes, that too.
A: I know we are closing up the stadium with another late game, so let me get to the Bottoms Up Award for this week. The man with no bum plan is Skyler Pickpocket. In a series where there were so many moments to choose from, Pickpocket’s grand slam in the seventh inning of today’s game put the Dwellers up for good, 8-6. He has the rump to get behind his team and push them forward. Bottoms Up! And this week, we have a six-pack of Bobrov's Citrus Beer, made with artificial flavors.
R: I am going with my Sportiest Sport Award. And for this week’s award, I am giving it to the venerable Paladin Danse of the Scrappers of Egret. Although his team lost two games this weekend, it was no fault of the Paladin’s. In fact, he hit both a game-tying home run and a go-ahead home run in losing efforts. Despite his team’s heartbreaking weekend, Paladin Danse is indeed the Sportiest Sport. We did not have a donation for the Sportiest Sport, so Paladin Danse gets a case of Purified Water.
G: I will finish up this week’s show with the Outstanding Player of the Series. That player is without a doubt Vault 81’s shortstop, Terry O’Dell. In the three games, he was a combined 6 for 12 with two home runs, five runs scored, six runs batted in, a walk, and a free base after being hit by a pitch. Congratulations to Terry O’Dell. This week, you get a bottle of Bobrov’s Best Moonshine. “Make the night shine with Bobrov’s Best Moonshine.”
Next week we will visit Starlight Drive-In to watch the Lady Killers and Sunshine Tidings Chemists in Institute League action. The Chemists lost earlier today to drop to 14-16, while the Lady Killers are a game and a half behind first place Abernathy, who leads Lexington 5-1 entering the bottom of the 9th. Starlight is 17-13.
Let’s close out this week’s show with some Andrew Sisters with Danny Kaye, “Civilization (Bongo, Bongo, Bongo)”:
