You can't make this stuff up
Lead writer: "Who's got something to pitch?"
New Scriptwriter: "How about if we have a team that has never had a championship for a hundred years get to the World Series and then fall behind three games to one? Then we could have them win three straight including the last 2 on the road and an extra inning game 7!"
Lead writer: "Would never happen kid. What else you got?"
New script writer: "OK. In game 7 they get a big lead on their scrappy opponent. Let's say the other team hadn't won a championship either but it's more like 70 years or so. Anyway, after all this it looks like they're going to blow it. Again. Like always. They make errors and wild pitches until the other team ties it up at their own stadium at the bottom of the eighth. Their crowd is going wild!"
Lead writer: "I've seen Rocky 1 through 10. So has everyone. No one buys this happy horseshit anymore."
New scriptwriter: "We have the other team knock out our team's big closer who is worn down from the comeback . They have to go deeper into their pitching rotation until they're almost down to their last guys. Just when it looks like they're doomed there's a rain delay and they go into extra innings. The announcers don't give them a chance in hell now, but they come back and score a couple of runs anyway. But in the bottom of the inning the home team comes back and scores a run, gets a man on. The crowd is going wild! They are one swing away from winning when.....
Lead writer: "Yeah, right, the visitors get the final out, the teams congratulate each other on a great series blah blah blah, the good guys live happily ever after. Thanks for wasting our time with lame-ass fantasies."
New screenwriter: "I have another story line. This one is about a fat, mean narcissist who is perverted, possibly a rapist and totally racist. The guy has goofy looking dyed hair and a hideous combover. Everyone knows he is a total liar and fraud but somehow he still gets elected President of the United States."
Lead writer: "You want my boot in your ass? Get the hell out!"
