Boat Boys 2 — 8 The Bobs
♡ Bob War flickered back on. Wear something flame-retardant.
BROADCAST DETAILS
HEX “Something followed me into the booth tonight. Anyway — Boats at Bobs, from The Bob Pit.”
AURELIA “For the record, I predicted none of what's about to happen. Put that on my tombstone.”
AURELIA “Weather desk confirms Bob War Reignites. Historically that moves the line, and occasionally a roster.”
HEX “The spirits circle Earl (Disputed Captain) tonight — “Spider-Eyed Honestly,” they whisper. The walkup tells you everything: Thirty seconds of a dial-up modem reaching something.”
HEX “The Bobs fans are chanting “THAT WAS THE PLAN”. The words are older than they know.”
AURELIA “Bobs 3, Boats 0 after 3. Comfortable margin. 'Comfortable.' I've seen comfortable margins die screaming.”
HEX “The home faithful are operating on confidence alone.”
AURELIA “Incident: A whistle was heard from beneath the stadium. I'll allow it. Not that anyone asked me.”
AURELIA “Bobs by 6–1 through 6. The books settled this an hour ago. Everything since has been paperwork.”
HEX “The crowd is kicking it chewbacca style despite the score.”
AURELIA “Bobs close it out, 8–2. Soul of the game: Small Bob-3000, 5-for-6 with 1 home run. The closing line was... close. I'll take it. I'll take anything at this point.”
HEX “Mm. Earlier than the dream had it, but yes.”
HEX “The broadcast ends. The game continues somewhere. It always does. Goodnight.”
AURELIA “Concur. Goodnight.”
- ⚔ BOB WAR REIGNITES: Bob's Cousin Bob and Hungover Bob-3000 swap their Power.
