Angels In The Outfield Page #2

You'll be pitchin' no-hitters

any day now.

♪ We are the boys of summer

and it's a big bummer ♪

♪ No matter who we play

we give the game away ♪

♪ 'Cause we can't win

that would be a sin ♪

- ♪ We even lose the games before they begin ♪

- Save it, Mapel!

- Bummer.

- One more loss!

One more loss

which could have been a win!

You call yourselves professionals.

I have never seen a worse

group of 25 players!

You don't think as a team, you don't play

as a team, you don't even lose as a team!

You all got your heads

so far up your butts...

you can't even see the light of day!

One more loss and I'll, and I'll do this!

Aah! To each and every one of you!

Ho-ho-ho!

I want you here, in uniform,

at 9:
00 tomorrow.

We're going back to work

on fundamentals!

Fundamentals?

In the middle of the season?

I thought the game started at 1:00.

It does start at 1:00.

And you're a jackass!

No, I'm a pitcher.

- I think you're a pitcher and jackass.

- Si. It's very common.

Oh.

Tough loss, George.

I can't take it anymore.

You have to start trading 'em.

All of them, now.

- I can't trade 25 players.

- I can't win with these guys. Nobody can.

There's a thing called talent.

They don't have it.

This isn't Cincinnati, George.

No one expects you

to win big with these boys.

I came here to manage a

winning baseball team.

You just hang on, partner.

You'll ride through the dark days.

Mr. Knox, we're waiting on the field.

We're waiting.

What's that?

David Montagne, administrative

assistant for media relations.

You're scheduled to do Ranch Wilder's

postgame show here, and he's been waiting.

The press are all scum.

They're meant to be kept waiting.

- Ranch Wilder's worse than scum.

- Who's fault is that? That is not my fault.

What ever happened to Barney or Bailey,

or whatever the jerk's name is?

You fired him and they

hired me on Monday.

Then I can't officially fire

you until Friday. Make a note.

Uh, where, where, where?

All right, all right.

Microphone?

Thrown out of the game. I imagine

the commissioner's finally happy.

We're on in three, two, one.

And we're back with Angels' manager

George Knox. This was a tough loss today.

- Any loss is hard.

- But this one really got to you.

You leave Cincinnati after ten years of winning

ball clubs, although the really big one...

always seemed to be just out of reach,

and you come out here to manage our Angels.

Now, expectations were high that

you could turn this team around,

but that just doesn't seem to be happening.

- Season's only half over, Ranch.

- And your club's in last place.

You oughta know how one incident

can change the course of events.

Well, you know, you play the

game, you take your chances.
