тАЬYou got it.тАЭ

The line went dead. Mike wanted to throw the cell to the floor and
stamp on it. Dance for joy at the chance. Dance in frustration that his luck
couldnтАЩt be that good. What would the team think? What would Myrna think?

Instead, he turned and entered the locker room. A thick, fetid odor of
carnivore washed over him. Fifteen tons of therapod looked up as he came
in the door. He could tell by the splattering on the wall that somebody hadnтАЩt
made it to the stalls in time. Pre-game jitters.

Their teeth gleamed as they watched him. He rubbed his hands
together. Time to get to work. Play it close. Play it easy.

тАЬOkay, team,тАЭ he began. тАЬListen up.тАЭ

Al: Welcome to another episode of Monday Night Sports brought to
you on the Hopkinton public access feed. IтАЩm Albert Staab, Senior at
Hopkinton High School.

John: And IтАЩm John Albermarle. Also senior at Hopkinton High
School.

Al: Tonight we get to bring you the sport we love, DinoBall. Also
called Dinosaur Soccer or Sauro-Futball.

John: It should have a better name. DinoBall sounds like something
youтАЩd play in an arcade.

Al: Tonight, itтАЩs the Minor League final playoff for the East Coast
Division. It looks like a good game tonight.

John: ThatтАЩs right, Al. ItтАЩs the Scranton Legs versus the Providence
Braves. ThereтАЩs no love lost between these teams.
 Al: TheyтАЩve been rivals for, well, years. The Legs have been playoff
champions of the division six of the last seven years.

John: That sure hasnтАЩt made any friends in Providence. Each of
those championship matches were between the Braves and the Legs. The
Braves are hungry for a win.

Al: I donтАЩt think it looks good for Providence. ThereтАЩs a rumor that the
Legs are going to take Sebastian Genzyme off the disabled list.

John: Tom Vertech isnтАЩt going to be happy about that. HeтАЩs the one
who put him there.

Al: Cool. This could have the makings of a grudge match.
