Alright, let’s talk about them Houston Astros and Texas Rangers, y’know, the baseball fellas. Folks been yappin’ about ’em, so I figured I’d chime in.
Heard tell there’s gonna be some games, a whole bunch of ’em, between these two teams. They call it a “series” or somethin’. Sounds fancy, but it’s just baseball, right? Like when the kids play in the field, only these fellas get paid a whole lot more, I reckon.
Now, they say you gotta get tickets to watch these games. Tickets! Like you need a special piece of paper to go sit and watch some fellas throw a ball around. Back in my day, you just went to the field and watched. But I guess times have changed. They say these tickets are “verified” too. Means they’re real, I suppose. Don’t want no fake tickets, that’s for sure. Heard some folks are sellin’ ’em for different dates and places too. Gotta be careful, I tell ya.
- Game 1: Don’t know when exactly, but it’s in Houston, that’s what I heard.
- Game 2: Probably right after Game 1, makes sense, don’t it? Still in Houston, I think.
- Game 3: Now they go over to Texas, to that Rangers place.
- Game 4, 5, and maybe more: They keep playin’, back and forth, till somebody wins more games, I guess. They even got a Game 7, can you believe it? That’s a lot of baseball!
They said somethin’ about a “Lone Star Series“. Sounds like somethin’ outta a cowboy movie. But it’s just baseball, like I said. Just these fellas from Texas, playin’ each other. And then there’s this “American League Championship Series” thing. Too many words, if you ask me. Just call it baseball, for Pete’s sake!
If you wanna go watch, you gotta use that computer thing, or maybe that phone thingy. They say you gotta have an email and a password, like it’s some secret club. Then you gotta pick your favorite team, the Astros, of course, ’cause we’re talkin’ about them now. And then, magically, your tickets show up on your phone, in somethin’ they call a “wallet”. Not a real wallet, mind you, but somethin’ on that phone. Confusin’, ain’t it?
Now, them Astros, they were supposed to be real good this year. Folks were talkin’ about them winnin’ somethin’ called the “World Series”. Big deal, I guess. But then, wouldn’t you know it, they lost! Got beat by some other fellas called the Tigers. Folks were real disappointed, I tell ya. All that fuss, and they didn’t even win. Happens sometimes, though. Can’t win ’em all, that’s what I always say.
So, when are these games? Well, like I said, they start in Houston, then go to Texas. They play a bunch of games, and it all ends with Game 7 on Monday if they need it. If you wanna know for sure, you gotta look it up on that computer thing, or ask one of them youngsters. They know all about this stuff.
Anyway, that’s the gist of it. Houston Astros playin’ the Texas Rangers. Lots of games, lots of fuss, and you need tickets to watch. Just like them fellas get paid a lot to play baseball, somebody’s getting paid a lot for sellin’ tickets. It’s a whole different world now, I tell ya. But in the end, it’s just baseball.
