Welcome to your alternate universe

So, Cody Sol, a longtime Fort Wayne Komet who was extremely active in the community, is now in camp with the hated Toledo Walleye. And A.J. Jenks, a big part of why the hated Walleye are the hated Walleye, is in camp with the Komets.

I don't have the words to describe this, exactly, except to say it's kinda like that episode of "Star Trek" where matter and anti-matter take human form and battle to the death. In any case, contemplating it for any length of time is sure to make heads explode in both teams' fan bases. And in a weird way, it also unites these two opposing factions in common cause.

We're talkin' reactions here, see. Which the Blob imagines sound pretty much like this:

KOMETS FANS (last year): You suck, Jenks!

KOMETS FANS (now): Y'know, "suck" is such an ugly word ...

Meanwhile, in Toledo ...

WALLEYE FANS (last year): You suck, Sol!

WALLEYE FANS (now): Y'know, "suck" is such an ugly word ...

Or, you know, something like that.
