There were a whole lot of hits on the softball field in Tuesday’s action, the American League game. So, with that in mind, I am matching up television, 2015, hit shows, with Tuesday’s teams. I tried to work in as many top television shows from 2015 as possible, I am sure you will recognize most of them.
Visitors, Game of Thrones team: Witmer, Dampier, Doerbaum, Matta, M. Gonzalez, D’Herin, Vandenberg, Butler, Andrews and Crowell.
Home, Big Bang Theory: Coffman, Hamilton, Laffoon, Jacobs, Giordano, Shirer, F. Gonzalez, Farinas, Davis and Hill.
The Game Of Thrones team started out in the dungeon. They only had two, less than mighty, hits in the first inning, by Doerbaum and Matta, that were infield singles. As a team, we started out hitting more like jesters, than kings. Oh well, those infield hits look good in the book, but they were nothing that was going to win the queen’s heart. The Big Bang Theory started the bottom half of the inning with a little bang. A leadoff single by Coffman and a single by Hamilton placed runners at first and third. Laffoon then added a sacrifice fly, but the rest of the team could not geek out another hit. After one inning the score was Game Of Thrones: 0- Big Bang Theory: 1.
In the 2nd inning, the Game Of Thrones team took on the persona of “Marvel’s Agents of
S.H.I.E.L. D.” They hit like superheroes, scoring 5 runs off of seven hits. D’Herin, Vandenberg, Butler, Crowell, Witmer, Dampier and Doerbaum delivered the goods by using their special powers of hitting. The Big Bang boys were spending too much time rendering theories, instead of applying softball physics. They simply did not hit the ball well. After two innings, the score was Game Of Thrones: 5- Big Bang Theory: 2.
The Game Of Thrones team took a commercial break in the 3rd inning, not scoring a run. The Big Bang Theory had a little chemistry going and scored two runs in their half of the 3rd. After three innings of play the score was Game Of Thrones: 5- Big Bang Theory: 4. In the 4th inning, the Game Of Thrones cast, murdered the ball. Call the “NCIS” team, (New Orleans), to investigate. “Boom- boom- boom- boom. I'm gonna shoot you right down, right offa your feet.” We scored five runs off of hits by Andrews, Witmer, Dampier, Doerbaum, Matta and M. Gonzalez. The Big Bang Theory knew that they needed a rally, so they came to bat and hit like “Vikings”, (The History Channel's scripted drama chronicling the adventures of Viking warrior, Ragnar Lothbrok). The Big Bangers scored 6 runs, to tie the game. Those Big Bang/ Vikings, raided and pillaged, getting nine hits, all this while only recording one out in the inning. Shirer, F. Gonzalez, Farinas, Davis, Hill, Hamilton, Laffoon and Jacobs were the Norsemen who clubbed their way to a tie. After four innings the score was Game Of Thrones: 10 - Big Bang Theory: 10.
The game had a new leader in the 5th inning. The Big Bang Theory outscored The Game Of Thrones team, 1-3 runs, to take the lead, 11-13. In the 6th inning, the Game Of Thrones team scored their third, five run, inning, in the game. It was like watching reruns on TV, you saw it all before. Witmer walked to start the rally, Dampier,singled; Doerbaum, singled; Matta, tripled; M. Gonzalez, doubled, D’Herin, walked; then Vandenberg and Butler finished out the scoring by adding base hits. It was as easy as shooting ducks on a pond, with Uncle Si, in “Duck Dynasty”. However, it still was not enough to gain an advantage, when the inning went in the books. The Big Bang Theory recaptured the lead by scoring four runs, in the bottom of the inning. They were not going to be on anybody’s “BlackList”. These guys were elusive escape artists who produced a labyrinth of hits. Coffman started their inning with a single, Hamilton, tripled; Laffoon, singled; Jacobs, doubled and Giordano cashed him in with a single, to finish the scoring that inning. This was like a television ratings war, after six hard innings of play the score was Game Of Thrones: 16- Big Bang Theory: 17.
The Game Of Throne team was tired of being in “Hell’s Kitchen”, they whipped up a five course meal masterpiece that would even impress Chief Ramsay; scoring five runs in the 7th inning; to take over the lead for good. Andrew, Crowell, Witmer, Dampier, Doerbaum, Matta and M. Gonzalez were the master chiefs. After their four run outburst, in the sixth inning, the Big Bang Theory was now on life support. Due to the pitching of Dave Doerbaum, the Big Bang Theory cast was now making a guest appearance on “Grey’s Anatomy”. Their bats were sick. They scored 2-0-0 in the 7th, 8th and 9th. That low run production left them in “Jeopardy”. The Game Of Throne teams added one more run in the 8th and five runs in the 9th. “I’ll take winning teams for $500, Alex.” “Which team had five, five run innings, to run away with the game?” “Who is Game Of Thrones.” Final Score: Game Of Thrones: 27- Big Bang Theory: 19.
