Riddle Time!

Well, it's 7:44 on Thursday morning and you all know what THAT means.........IT'S RIDDLE TIME!

Okay, here we go. Ten free cans of vegetables (you pick the vegetables), and a Red Bull to the winner.

------------------

Here is the scene: Billy Ray is sitting in his recliner, he's looking around the room. In his right hand he holds a fifth of Jack Daniels; it is nearly empty at this point. He's watching highlights of a marathon that he DVRed earlier that day. He looks to his right. On the couch are two of his friends. They have had too much to drink and have long said goodbye to consciousness. His brother, Johnny Ray, however, is still up and at 'em. Billy Ray looks to his left. There are two beautiful girls sitting in a chair, staring at both he and Johnny Ray, wantingly. He likes this and winks flirtatiously at the girls. He then winks over to Johnny Ray. They are "hopeful."

Okay, the riddle: There may be more than one answer, but I'm looking for one in particular. How do you make the above scenario sound like a BASEBALL SITUATION?

Have at it.

Bottom of the ninth. Two on. Two out. Two runners on and a full count.

You got "runners on" and "two out" correct!

Bottom of the ninth is wrong; and there is one other detail to be mentioned!

Sorry......had two appointments to get to. Now, back to the important stuff! Cath is RIGHT, of course. It IS the bottom of the fifth! Now. let's see about what else we need to get right.
Love, Ima
PS I gather we will all share in the cans of vegetables. Maybe we'll make stone soup for the first brunchgate.

Can it be that the "Ray" boys are pitcher and catcher who are hopeful that they will get the other two "out" also?

You are sort of on the right track, and YES, you split the veggies! One last blank to fill. The sentence reads:

"Bottom of the fifth, runners on with two out and the ________ are looking to score!"
