- Give me! Give me...

- Hey, watch it!

- Leave me alone!

- Give me that!

Right this way. Good.

Because in this time of terror,

there is one thing we all need:

the grace of our Lord,

our heroes overseas,

and baseball.

"Casey at the Bat" by Ernest Thayer.

The outlook wasn't brilliant

for the Mudville nine that day.

- The score stood 4 to 2...

- What a fag.

Buttermaker, where have you been?

You missed the team photo.

I was just getting Gatorade

for the guys, you know.

Well, we need to talk about this.

My son can't wear this.

We'll get him another size.

No big deal.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Look, it's a legitimate business,

honey.

You know, they pay taxes

like everybody else.

All right, can you believe it?

It's here, opening day.

Well, we got a lot of great athletes

this year,

and I'm looking forward to

a great season.

Before we get started,

I do want to remind you

that it is Summer Discount Days

at Valley Chevy Subaru.

So come on down if you get a chance.

Meanwhile, so many volunteers...

And people that I want to thank...

Hey, hey, hey!

What is he...? What's his...?

Hey, get... Get the hell off my field!

I'll deal with you later,

you little punk.

Okay, let's welcome all our teams.

We got...

Ray Bullock and our returning

champs, the Yankees.

Lenny Hendricks and the Giants.

Ex-Mariner, Morris Buttermaker

and the Bears.

Bob Jones and the White Sox.

Play ball!

There you go, Mitch. There you go!

Round it, round it, round it!

There you go!

Alrighty.

That's it!

Number 9, Joey Bullock.

That's it, that's it, that's it.

Go!

Joey! Joey!

That's my boy. We worked on that.

The Yankees lead 3-nothing.

Way to go, sweetie.

That's your boy.

- Next, number 3, Danny Patello.

- Let's go, Danny!

Go two, go two, go two!

What do you think, Lupus?

Sometimes bird poo

tastes like candy.

Aren't you supposed

to be in left field?

Sh*t.

Where you going, coach?

Keep your drawers on, officer,

I'll get back to you.

Hey, Bullock.

Morris "The Blade".

- I'm calling it.

- What? What are you talking about?

I'm calling the game. The kids are

getting creamed out there, you know?

- Yeah, it's a bloodbath.

- Yeah.

- That'll make quitters out of them.

- They don't have to quit.

They're losing, can't you see?

The 10-run rule kicks in after three.

I think you should hang on.

Yeah, then after that,

maybe you think about...

- What?

- You know, dropping out.

- What did you say?

- Dropping out of the league.

Morris, this isn't going to work.

They don't know the fundamentals

of the game out here.

Save them the humiliation.

You don't give two shits

about these kids. I'm calling the game.
