Yeah, you throw like me.
|
Ladies and gentlemen, to honor America, will you please rise for our National Anthem...sung tonight by Springfield's rhythm `n' blues sensation, "Bleeding Gums" Murphy.
|
Hi-de-hi, Springfield! Dan Hoard, mikeside. Tonight -- our Isotopes take on the pesky Shelbyville Shelbyvillians. The 'Topes are looking to snap that darn twenty-six game losing streak, longest in professional baseball. How 'bout that? -- Our sleepy town is in the record book!
|
Ah, sitting with the employees. I guess this proves I'm their friend. You did get me something on an aisle, Smithers? I don't want to be surrounded by them.
|
Let's go now... Sa-winggg, batter!
|
We want a pitcher / Not a belly itcher!
|
We want a catcher / Not a belly scratcher!
|
Here we are, sir.
|
Oh, no. Marge, sitting next to the boss -- the best night of the year, and it's ruined! Of all the lousy, rotten... this stinks...
|
All this means is you can't wave your fanny in public.
|
Rub it in.
|
Beeer heah! Duff Beeer
|
VENDOR HOMER
|
Get your Duff Beer
|
heah! Beer, right Beer. Didja hear
|
here! Duff Beer! that, Marge?
|
Delicious frosty beer. Fat lot of good that does me, sitting next to old man Burns.
|
Now, Homer.
|
I suppose you want a beer?
|
Me, sir? Oh, no. Not a chance. Only idiots drink beer.
|
Actually, I was wondering if you'd join me. My treat.
|
Ohhh. Well, if someone of your stature can enjoy a beer, maybe I'm all turned around on the subject. Wait a minute, we're not having a drug test tomorrow, are we?
|
No. Vendor, two, please.
|
Two-fifty.
|
THE HITTER'S OFF HIS ROCKER / KISSING BETTY CROCKER!
|
Good one, sir.
|
Oh well, I used to rile the late, great Connie Mack with that one at old Shibe Park.
|
LITTLE BABY BATTER / CAN'T CONTROL HIS BLADDER!
|
Will you shut up, I'm trying to think of a name.
|
Hmmm. Crude, but I like it. What do you say we freshen up our little drinkie poos?
|
Don't mind if I do.
|
Well, Simpsie, you up for another wave?
|
All right, Burnsie.
|
Bases loaded. 'Topes have one out, down by three. Here's the pitch. Swung on and missed! Strike three. Of course.
|
Damnation! These banjos couldn't carry Pie Traynor's glove.
|
Big Bill McCloskey coming up. As soon as he pops out, we'll go right to the post-game show.
|
C'mon! All we need is a grand slam.
|
My one game of the year... ruined by pathetic incompetence.
|
What's wrong with you people? Let's show some spirit! Come on, get up!
|
Your team needs you! C'mon!!!
|
As I got up in front of them, I felt an intoxication that had nothing to do with alcohol. It was the intoxication of being a public spectacle.
|
... There's some nut down in right field, dancin' up a storm! He's really got the crowd goin'. Let's see if he can shake up mediocre slugger "Big Bill" McCloskey.
|
Swung on and belted to deep left field! It's going... going...
|
It's gone! It's outta here! Oh, my God, the Isotopes win a game! The Isotopes win a game! The Isotopes win a game!
|
Well, that was certainly exciting.
|
Yes. Unfortunately, Homer Simpson's shameless display of exhibitionism tainted the entire evening. I want him banned for life from all company outings.
|
I thank you. You're too kind. Glad you enjoyed it, but I can't take all the credit. The batter did his part, too.
|
Excuse me... You, sir -- the dancing fella. I'm Antoine "Tex" O'Hara. I own the Isotopes. Would you be interested in becoming our official mascot?
|
M-- me? A mascot for a bush league team?
|
I should have slept on it. Or at least stared blankly for a while. Perhaps if I'd been unable to think of a nickname, all our lives might have been spared.
|
Well, I'm ready to punch in.
|
Oh, oh. Hey, cool, man.
|
Our lives have taken an odd turn.
|
Did the team ask you to dress like that, Homer?
|
Nope, this was my own bright idea. C'mon, we gotta hurry. Don't fill up on those vegetables, kids. Save room for your nachos.
|
For the first time in my life, people weren't laughing at me, they were laughing towards me.
|
'Topes win! 'Topes win! Two in a row! Two in a row!
|
A Simpson on a T-shirt. I never thought I'd see the day.
|
Oooh, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie. Woo, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie, boogie.
|
Hey, knock that off or I'll stick this bat where the sun don't shine.
|
Oh yeah? And where might that be? Oh.
|
Helen, I'm in a Caribbean mood tonight. How 'bout giving me "Baby Elephant Walk" with a little reggae kinda beat?
|
Go, "Dancin' Homer"! Git up man, git up!
|
Lively up yourself, Dancin' Homer.
|
Bases loaded, two outs. The good guys trail by a run.
|
Here's the pitch... swung on and missed -- strike three. 'Topes lose... 'Topes lose...'Topes lose...
|
You wanted to see me, "Tex"?
|
Homer, now we both knew when you began doing this you weren't gonna be here forever...
|
Oh, oh, oh, I get it. You can't fire the players, so you fire the mascot. You make me sick.
|
Homer, I'm not firing you. I just got the word -- You've been called up to Capital City.
|
Me? In the majors?
|
That's right.
|
Wait a minute, Capital City has a mascot. The greatest mascot there is: The Capital City "Goofball".
|
Yeah, but he's getting on in years and he needs someone to fill in for a couple of innings a night. Could be a big opportunity for you.
|
I'll say!
|
Why don't you talk it over with your family?
|
Because they might say no.
|
This was the biggest decision the Simpsons ever faced. I should've listened to the kids instead of my big dumb wife.
|
I shouldn't have called her that. Bite my tongue. Bite my tongue. Oooh.
|
I can't leave Springfield. I was born here and I thought I would die here.
|
It won't be so bad. You'll die someplace else.
|
Well, what am I supposed to do about friends?
|
Phfft. You'll make new and better friends.
|
But, Dad. We're simple people with simple values. Capital City is too big and too complex. Everyone in Springfield knows us and has forgiven us.
|
Homer, I'd be lying if I didn't say that this scares me a little. But we all have a calling, a reason The Almighty put us on this Earth. And yours might be to dance on dugouts.
|
You mean -- ?
|
Let's do it, Homer!
|
Yeah, let's blow this pop stand and never look back.
|
Whatever doesn't kill me can only make me stronger.
|
It's not that simple. I've got to convince my supervisor to give me a leave of absence.
|
Sure. What would you like -- four years? Five years?
|
So, Simpson. You're really moving to Capital City?
|
That's right, Ned.
|
Uh huh. And all this stuff is for sale, huh? You know, I-I-I... don't know how to say this, but, well...
|
Oh, knock it off, Flanders! Don't start blubbering on me. I'm gonna miss you too... not.
|
I don't know, Bart. I mean, I'm gonna miss you and all, but...
|
Come on, Milhouse. This way we'll be friends forever.
|
Well, okay.
|
I'm gonna miss you, spit brother.
|
I'm gonna miss you, spit brother.
