The Ninth Inning Rally

Dana: What've you got?
Jeremy: Nothing. Bottom of the order went down in seven pitches.
Dana: Maybe tomorrow.
Jeremy: (taking his seat) Whatever happened to the ninth inning rally, huh?
Dana: Yeah, and why don't we use semicolons anymore?
Jeremy: This show needs a ninth inning rally.
Dana: I think, under the circumstances, the show is doing fine.
Jeremy: Oh, I think so, too.
Natalie: Then why did you say we need a ninth inning rally?
Jeremy: I wasn't speaking metaphorically, I meant the show could use an actual ninth inning rally.
Dana: The show hasn't even started yet.
Jeremy: I'm not talking about the show. I'm saying, wouldn't it be great if the show we're about to do included a ninth inning rally?
Natalie: And we're saying that in order to have a ninth inning rally, the show would necessarily have to begin from a disadvantageous position, which neither one of us thinks would be great.
Jeremy: I'm gonna start again because that's how completely you've both missed the point.
