                                         Drinking with the Scouts

 Tonight Elijah Craig is joined by Jim Beam, Johnny Walker, and George Dickel

  Elijah: Tonight I'd like us to discuss the All-Star game.
  George: My player of the game is Chi-Chi Costilla.
  Jim: That is an odd choice. Was it because he played second base in the classic and hadn't  played the position since season 42.
  George: No. He is my player of the game by making the last out of the game with the tying run on third base.
  Johnny: Your right, nobody wants to play extra innings in the All Star game. It seemed odd to me that Rey Jung was player of the game. Not that he wasn't deserving but a two run homer in the first inning in a game with 13 runs scored. Like I said it seemed odd to me.
  Jim: Are you hinting that the guys with votes checked out early.
  George: Elijah, weren't you one of the guys who had a vote for player of the game.
  Elijah: As always I was here all night.
  George: But you had a vote.
  Elijah: Well, yes but I didn't have the only vote.
  Johnny: Elijah you couldn't have watch the whole game.
  Elijah: Actually I couldn't. The cable network went down. I voted for the only guy I saw do something. I was amazed when he won the award. So smart guys who would you have chosen for player of the game.
  George: I already told you my guy.
  Elijah: I always thought Jack was the agitator when you too got together; but maybe I was wrong all that time.
  Johnny: I pick Cameron Burns of the American League. Only 5 guys got 2 hits in the game and he was one of them. He scored 2 runs and knocked in three. He's my guy.
  Jim: I won't pick one guy. The National league used eight pitchers. Four were starters and four were relievers.The four relief pitchers got eight outs giving up 6 runs. The four starters pitched six and a third innings giving up no runs. Starters got both the win and the save. I know it's not picking one but I'll take the starters.
  Elijah: Well guys that just about wraps this up. Thanks for coming.
