Alright, y’all, let’s talk about this World Series thing, the one they say is gonna happen next year, 2025, I reckon. Don’t know much about these fancy teams and their city names, but I heard some folks jabberin’ down at the market.
Them Dodgers, yeah, them Los Angeles Dodgers, they won last time, see? Beat them Yankees, they did. Folks say them Dodgers are gonna be good again. Well, I say, every dog has its day, ain’t that right? Can’t just keep on winnin’ forever. But them fellas who put down money, the bettin’ kind, they think the Dodgers got a good shot.
Now, them Yankees, they from New York, a big ol’ city I hear. Full of hustle and bustle, prob’ly ain’t got no time for plantin’ corn or nothin’. Anyway, them Yankees, they lost last time, but they got some fellas who can hit that ball a country mile. So, maybe they’ll win, maybe they won’t. It’s like tryin’ to guess if it’ll rain next week, you know? You just can’t always tell.
And then there’s these Braves, from Atlanta. Atlanta, that’s down south, ain’t it? Hot and sticky like a summer day. Them Braves, I don’t know much about ‘em. But them bookie fellas, they think the Braves are up there with the Dodgers and Yankees. Guess they must be pretty good then.
- Dodgers: Them fellas who won last time. Folks think they’ll be good again.
- Yankees: City slickers from New York. Can hit that ball hard, but lost last year.
- Braves: From down south in Atlanta. Bookies say they’re good, so who knows?
There’s some other teams too, these Phillies and Orioles and Astros. Don’t know nothin’ about them. The Phillies, that sounds like somethin’ to do with horses, don’t it? And Orioles, ain’t them birds? Maybe they got a fast runner on the team. And Astros, that sounds like somethin’ to do with stars. Maybe they play at night, I reckon. See, I told you I don’t know much about these city teams.
This fella, Caleb Durbin, somebody’s tryin’ to keep him safe, seems important to Yankees. Guess he must be a good player, worth keepin’ safe like a prize rooster. And them Orioles, they moved their fences in, closer to the batter. Now, I ain’t sure why they’d do that. Seems like makin’ it easier to hit the ball out of the park. Maybe they got some fellas who ain’t so good at hittin’ far, so they makin’ it easier for them. That’s just my guess, mind you.
It’s all a gamble, this whole World Series thing. Like plantin’ seeds, sometimes you get a good crop, sometimes you don’t. These city fellas, they got their fancy stats and numbers, but in the end, it comes down to hittin’ that ball and catchin’ that ball. And sometimes, a little bit of luck, like finding a four-leaf clover.
So, who’s gonna win? Heck if I know. Could be them Dodgers again, could be the Yankees, could be them Braves. Or maybe it’ll be one of them other teams, the Phillies or Orioles or Astros. Maybe a dark horse. You know like that old mule in the back pasture that nobody pays attention to but runs like lighting when you let him out. Or maybe some team we ain’t even talkin’ about. That’s the fun of it, I guess. Keeps you guessin’ till the very end. Like waitin’ for the corn to grow, you just gotta be patient and see what happens.
One thing’s for sure, though, them city folk will be makin’ a big fuss about it. Yellin’ and cheerin’ and wearin’ them funny hats. Me, I’ll just be here on the porch, watchin’ the sun go down and maybe listenin’ to the game on the radio if the wind’s blowin’ right.
Anyways, that’s all I got to say about this here World Series thing. It’s just a game, after all. Ain’t nothin’ to get too worked up about. There’s more important things in life, like family and friends and good food and a roof over your head. But it’s kinda fun to watch sometimes.
