Ron is saying...

Now might they do it Pat, now Cubs is playing;
And now they’ll do’t. And so they go to heaven Milwaukee;
And so am I revenged. That would be scann’d:
The Mets kill my team; and for that,
I, a Cubs broadcaster, do this Brewers team send
To heaven.
O, this is hire and salary, not broadcasting.
