(Unless you're a New York Yankees fan), it was not ALWAYS doom and gloom coming down the pike . . .

Warning: Spoilers
. . . from Warner Bros.' Prognosticators Non Pareil, their Animated Shorts Seers division (aka, The Looney Tuners), those oh so proficient prophets of America's upcoming Calamities, Catastrophes, Cataclysms, and Apocalypti. Occasionally Warner's uncannily accurate providers of Extreme Early Warnings for We Americans of (The Then) Far Future take a cartoon off from their visions of Armageddon in order to alert us about an historic upcoming cultural event, such as the pivotal Game Three of the 2017 MLB Championship series between the Yanks and the usually hapless Houston, Texas, Astros. TWO GOPHERS FROM TEXA$ eerily provides a pitch by pitch forecast for Houston's Top of the Sixth at Yankee Stadium. In the midst of a tense zero to zero tie, the over-confident Yankee Dog (who begins this tale by stating "I crave the zest of Wild Game; I'm a Big Game Hunter stalking food in the raw") loads the bases with Gophers (or Astros--call these Gulf Coast Lilliputians what you will) via walk/catcher's interference/walk. Gopher track star Altuve rounds out this TEXA$ trio, as "Tosh" on the first sack. Then "Mac" Gurriul, an ACTUAL first basemen, clears the bases, symbolized here when the Yankee dog gets his rump stuck in the piano of his would-be victory orchestra. (And PLEASE don't get me started here on Rumps!)
