Series of Exercise*

A Story by Abishai100

A Martian and a Philly-Catholic school teacher confer about city-spirit(s) sportsmanship (baseball!) for Series-'chess' entourage.

A nice World-Series time Philly-spirit diorama-vignette inspired by the street-imagination thematics of the iconic (historic?) American 'underdog' boxing-film Rocky (Sylvester Stallone). Hope you like (and enjoy baseball!),

A Martian of great intellect spying on the United States from the Earth-moon challenged a Coronavirus-era Philadelphia cyber-blogging scientist (Amlan Satan) to a 'stalemate-chess' dialogue surrounding the human-society patriotism during the World Series in which the man's underdog city-baseball team would challenge a more powerhouse/pitching team for the honor of what'd become the city's special 'underdog' spirit, reflected in media/movies/magazines.

MARTIAN: So, you're a teacher/scientist at a William-Penn (Philadelphia) 'private' institution, Amlan?

AMLAN SATAN: You might argue I'm a 'prince' of Philly-academic orientation(s).

MARTIAN: So, you're 'versed' in the quality of human-society traffic intellectualism...links to street-culture/ideology!

AMLAN SATAN: Yeah...and I'm eager for the Series blogs surrounding post-9/11 era ideations of 'chess' energy for media/IQ.

MARTIAN: Sports-media/capitalism on Earth has become something of a 'chess' match for sportsmanship, no, Amlan?
AMLAN SATAN: Yeah...and in fact, this Series-IQ could/would launch some 'cool academic' ideations of city-media/traffic.

Well, the city-team Amlan Satan was espousing on social-media for the Series would be featured against a rival team which had performed extremely well in Series-games/title-runs in the new millennium, having defeated a Los Angeles team and challenging a serious Washington team in two differing Series-runs already. Well, Amlan Satan happened to be a 'human-expert' in baseball-card(s) artistry and enjoyed comparing the 'highlights' of what made various Philly/Houston stars stand-out, casting the two city-rival teams nearly 'equal' in offense-defense stats, but the Houston team boasted a much stronger league/division standing at the closure of the 2022 pro-media season (wow)!

MARTIAN: You're married to a City of Brotherly Love media-television weather-girl of city-newsies?
AMLAN SATAN: Yeah...I'm a divorcee and then remarried, and I generally espouse social-media oriented 'life' exchange(s).

MARTIAN: So, you're something of a 'swimming'-prince of the life-culture of Philly-spirits and wine, eh?

AMLAN SATAN: Sure; in fact, television and sports-media is something intrinsic to my Philly-prince DNA (or expressions!).

The Martian suggested in this secret exchange with Amlan Satan of Philadelphia that he purchase as a symbolism-diplomacy species/race 'gift' a 'cool' historic Civil-War themed chess-set/board to re-present this Series between the southern Houston baseball team and the northern Philly baseball team, if only to 'hoist' and not-forget the cool 'chess' IQ of this baseball-standoff in the post-9/11 era for people of the Earth-city 'praying' and thinking (deeply!) about the true nature of sportsmanship-driven traffic electricity. This was the age of media-history in the United States, which is what intrigued this spying Martian and drew him to the Catholic school teacher Amlan Satan, a Philly-advocate.

MARTIAN: The Phillies stunned the national audience(s) with a 'shocking' Game 1 victory from way-behind against Houston!

AMLAN SATAN: That's right; in fact, many remembered fondly the 'Rocky'-spirit of Philly after this triumph for underdog-chess.

MARTIAN: Then the Houston team took-over in Game 2, and many wonder/argue if that'll simply be the 'iron-man' trend now!
AMLAN SATAN: Sure; in fact, the Philly-team will truly 'shock' just about everyone should they garner yet another Series-win.

MARTIAN: The Philly sportsmen already grabbed the Series in this new millennium no (2008)?
AMLAN SATAN: That's right, my stranger-friend; in fact, this is simply/arguably a 'cool' pastry, should they advance gold.

So, with this 'Rocky'-Philly spirit(s) landscape laid-out by this intriguing cyber-secret exchange between the spying intellectual Martian and the prince of Philadelphia, Catholic school teacher Amlan Satan, there'd be no reason to cast this energy-IQ 'chess' match between the Philly-team and the more leader-prone Houston-team in the 2022 Series which would (surely!) inspire all forms of youth-games/activity on play-station systems on Earth, which suggested to the 'cooled' if argumentative Martian that sportsmanship-media in the United States had become a 'game' for all educators.

Amlan Satan and the Martian decided to exchange a pair of photos online of two special/symbolic iconography robot 'avatar' toys symbolizing pure intelligence/traffic/espionage in the new era, and why media-tech had become a fascination among youth for the ideations of governance culture imagination for war/peace/politics/capitalism energy.

MARTIAN: The blue-gold one is my Houston-team favorite (toy), Amlan.

AMLAN SATAN: That's cool; I'll use the red-black Philly-team representative faerie (toy)!
