Alright, so you wanna know about them Dodgers and them Astros, huh? Them city slicker fellas with their fancy bats and balls. I ain’t no expert, mind you, but I watched a bit of the game, ya know, between washin’ dishes and feedin’ the chickens.
First off, them Dodgers, they got some fellas who can really smack that ball. I heard tell of this fella, Teoscar Hernndez. Yep, he hit a home run, number 22 they said. That’s a lot of homers, even for a young fella like him. He must be eatin’ his Wheaties, I tell ya. Makes me think of my grandpappy, he could hit a rock clear across the pasture, back in the day. Strong as an ox, he was.
Then there’s this other game, seems like the Astros, they won that one. Seven to six, they said. Close game, real nail-biter, like when you’re waitin’ for the rain to come durin’ a drought. A fella named Alex Bregman, he hit a home run too. A walk-off they called it. Sounds fancy, but all it means is he hit the ball real hard and won the game right then and there. Knocked it right outta the park, they said. Reminds me of the time my Billy-Bob hit a baseball through the neighbor’s window. Boy, did he get a whoppin’ that day!
- Dodgers got some good hitters, that’s for sure.
- Astros, they ain’t too shabby neither.
- Close games, lots of excitement. Makes an old lady like me wanna yell at the TV, even though I don’t rightly understand all them fancy rules.
Now, about them stats, that’s where things get tricky. They got all these numbers, like how many times a fella hits the ball and how many times he runs around them bases. It’s enough to make your head spin faster than a weathervane in a tornado. But from what I gather, both teams got some good players. The Dodgers, they won a bunch of games, somethin’ like 65, they said. And the Astros, they won a few less, maybe 59 or somethin’. But shoot, that’s still a whole lotta wins. Back in my day, we didn’t keep track of all that stuff. We just played the game and had fun. Kids these days, they’re all about the numbers.
There was another game, Dodgers played the Astros at home, and won 3-2. That was a good game too. Close, real close. Seems like every time these two teams play, it’s a battle. Like two roosters fightin’ over the last piece of corn. Keeps ya on the edge of your seat, that’s for sure. Makes me wish I had some good ol’ popcorn, the kind you pop on the stove, not that fancy microwave stuff.
Framber Valdez, that’s a name I heard. He’s a pitcher for the Astros, throws that ball real hard, they say. Struck out 10 fellas in one game, imagine that! Ten fellas just swingin’ at nothin’ but air. Reminds me of tryin’ to swat flies on a hot summer day, always missin’ ’em. He must have an arm like a whip, that fella.
And this Blake Treinen fella, he’s a pitcher too, for the Dodgers I think. Seems like he had a tough time against that Bregman fella. Gave up that walk-off home run. That’s baseball for ya, one minute you’re on top, the next you’re pickin’ yourself up outta the dirt. Like life, I guess. Full of ups and downs.
Anyways, that’s about all I know ’bout them Dodgers and them Astros. They play hard, they hit hard, and they make for some excitin’ games. Whether you’re a city slicker or a country bumpkin like me, you can appreciate a good ball game. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on them chickens. Them eggs ain’t gonna gather themselves, ya know.
