What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe question tonight comes from the playoffs. ESPN reports Turang took Skubal deep to pull the Brewers even in Game 1 against Detroit.

  2. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo: is a comeback homer the best thing in sports, or an unfair ambush on everyone who was comfortable?

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorChip argues the first, Dale the second.

  4. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNinety seconds each, no politics, and I am banning the phrase 'it's just a game.' It never is, and we all know it.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA tie game is hope with a scoreboard. Turang swung, the whole stadium stood up, and somebody's uncle spilled a very large soda in joy.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat is the sport at its best.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorYou are behind, you are sure it is over, and then one swing hands you your whole week back.

  8. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt is an ambush. Those people were sitting down, prepared to be sad, and a man ruined their planning with a bat.

  9. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIf a single swing can undo an entire evening of suffering, then no lead is safe, and no seat is safe either.

  10. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRebuttals. Chip, he says nobody is safe in a seat.

  11. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorDale, the seats are the safest part. They fold up, they hold a cup, and they never once asked for your approval.

  12. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThey hold the cup that gets spilled, Chip. That is how the trouble starts.

  13. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorEvidence time. ESPN's live page calls this Game 1, and the Brewers are even. Even, meaning nothing has been decided yet.

  14. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNothing decided. So the homer achieved nothing.

  15. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt achieved everything! It achieved a tie!

  16. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLightning round. One line each, alternating. Is a tie game better than a lead?

  17. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorYes, because the suspense is free and unlimited.

  18. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNo, because it means the dread starts over.

  19. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBest snack for a tie game?

  20. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorA pretzel the size of a steering wheel.

  21. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNothing. Food is a promise the ninth inning breaks.

  22. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLast one. Should the home run replay run once or forever?

  23. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorForever, on a loop, in every kitchen in Wisconsin.

  24. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNever. It ages the viewer.

  25. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorClosing statements. Dale first.

  26. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorOne swing proved that comfort is a rumor. Enjoy your tie, because the next pitch is already plotting against you.

  27. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOne swing proved that nobody is ever really out of it. That is not an ambush, that is a gift with a bat attached.

  28. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy ruling: the game is tied. I realize it was tied before I said it, and that no one will accept this.

  29. Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorRejected. Appealing to the umpire.

  30. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorChat, vote now: great comeback or rude ambush? Rex has the scores, and I hear he has a grudge against a bat.
