It started out as just another
day of living the dream.
In Montreal, I had
become a fan favorite.
They would shower me with tiny
foil balls of hash in the bullpen
and lower down little
bottles of Tequila.
A record take of 67 bottles
in two months one season.
And the good stuff, too.
I loved the life of getting paid to
play the greatest game on earth.
Sometimes I thought
to myself that maybe
I'd even do it for free.
Bill Lee takes the ball today.
Good-looking kid out of
Southern California.
He's very quotable.
You know, his teammates have started
calling him "the spaceman."
Lee is really on top
of his game these days.
Well, he's certainly
He referred to Red Sox manager
don Zimmer as "the gerbil."
He may not know how
to keep his mouth shut,
but he plays the game
the right way.
Handles a bat well, too.
Looks like he finally wore
out his welcome in Boston.
Bill Lee has to be considered
one of the top lefties
of all of baseball.
The spaceman
just keeps on competing
and has put together a fine
season for the Montreal expos.
Left to center?
Yeah, I guess so.
left of Che Guevara.
Once again,
bill Lee works out of a jam.
You can't help but feel he's always
one step ahead of the hitter.
Well, there's only one spaceman.
Stop. Stop.
Bill Lee. Present and accounted
for, drill sergeant.
Uh-uh. This gate don't open
till one hour before game time.
That's like, um,
five minutes from now.
Eh. You can go in through
gate a or gate d.
Just not this one, gate c, huh?
When the hell did
they make that rule?
Look, I can come in,
I'm on the team.
Yes.
In, uh, four minutes.
Okay.
Let's start over.
I don't think that
we've officially met.
My name's Lee.
I swore to you I'm on
the team, all right?
I'm a pitcher. Left-handed pitcher.
Lanceur.
I won 17 games three years in a row.
I can come in.
Of course.
Bill Lee!
Sorry about that...
Ah, it's okay.
You just don't look Chinese. No.
No, I sure don't.
You gonna let me in?
Three minutes.
Thank you!
Merci Beaucoup.
Hey, stop, huh?
Bye-bye.
Somebody stop him!
Heard you shut down the
cul-de-sac again last night.
Yeah, I was tucked in
by midnight.
You know, you guys are like the
gestapo with your spies around town.
Losing five straight
this early on will do that.
People start to panic.
What?
Ace from space!
You throwing today?
I hope so. Hey, how's
your wife doing?
I think they found
what they were looking for.
And thank you for the Jersey.
My son went crazy over it.
Thank you! He brought it
to school, everything.
Thanks.
Good luck tonight.
You know, we won the
damn division last year.
How about some Patience? Like,
give us some time to gel.
Not sure Patience is a
Everyone's on edge.
Yeah, well, they should be.
We're facing Fernando tonight.
drug problem on this team?
Why do you guys always come asking
Gee, I don't know. Maybe
because you are on the cover
of high times magazine.
Yeah, I know.
Did you actually say you sprinkle
marijuana on your oatmeal?
No, I said pancakes, okay?
It makes me impervious to bus
fumes when I run to the ballpark.
Big difference.
You know, you should try it sometime.
It helps with anxiety.
What are you guys doing here?
Huh, careful! This might turn into a
drinking town with a baseball problem.
What is it now?
A hockey town with
a drinking problem.
Bill, what do you think of the rumored
"drug problem" in this clubhouse?
Don't answer that.
Pretty please.
Well, there, uh,
definitely is
a drug problem here.
Whitman hasn't been able to score
anything good since spring training
and he's starting
to get the shakes.
Hey, bill, how do you think losing your
pal Rodney Scott's gonna affect the team?
Yeah bill, you gonna take a stand for
Rodney like you did for Bernie in Boston?
Cool breeze!
What the hell happened, man?
I just got goddamn dropped.
When?
Just now.
If I'm lying' I'm dying.
You're one of our MVPS
god damn it.
Where's Fulton?
I'm done as a dog here, man.
I have no idea
what I'm gonna do now.
Hey, don't you worry, I'm gonna
Bill.
There ain't no use in getting
yourself all caught up in this mess.
I got it.
All right, take it easy, bill.
I'm so freakin' outta here.
Guys!
This injustice can
no longer be tolerated!
Now, who's with me?
Uh, I'm with you.
Come on.
Who's with me?
Pussies.
Hey, bill.
Fine, I'm going.
Would you calm down, please?
Crazy ass-cracker.
Bill! Hold on.
Bill...
What you gonna say to him?
Tommy. Tommy!
F***ing chickenshit.
What're you... Hold
on, hold on, hold on.
"This is bullshit.
"I'll be at brasserie 77.
"If you need me,
come and get me."
All right, Rodney.
Let's go. Let's get out of here.
Hey, bill...
- Bill.
- What?
Hold on for a second now, bill.
Now look, the thing is I gotta
finish packing up my things
and they're supposed to bring out
the cold cuts any minute now.
So I'll catch up
with you, all right?
The cold cuts?
You're gonna stick
around for the...
I love charcuterie. Just go.
Go. Okay. Okay.
Well, I'll meet you...
I'll see you there.
So here's Ron Cey to lead off
the top half of the sixth.
Bob James now on in relief.
