Oh!

Next!

Wow, you are unbelievable.

You know that?

Yeah, yeah. Just payment.

You're a thief.

Come on, you got to

pitch around this guy!

Sandy, can I get

another one, please?

Do you mind turning on

the baseball game for me?

Sorry, hockey's on.

Might wanna slow down a little.

You're drinking those like water.

I never drink water this fast.

Hey, bill. Would you

like a shot of whiskey?

Oh, no. No, no, no.

No, thank you.

In fact, I think I'm gonna head

back over to the ball park.

Looks like they might

be needing me soon.

Doesn't look like

Rodney's showing up.

You're four deep. You

sure you wanna go pitch?

That's actually five.

And yeah, I'll be fine.

You might want to turn on

that baseball game.

You're about to witness

something special.

Well, good luck.

- He's there. He's got it.

- And that will end the inning.

Look, I was ready to pitch!

I could've held them and we

would've won the damn ballgame.

How am I supposed to help this team

when you don't f***ing use me?

We are 20 plus games

into the season,

and I've pitched,

what, 12 innings.

Are you completely

f***ing crazy, Lee?

I might be a little bit

crazy, yeah.

Do you honestly think I would put

you into a major league ball game

after you've been at a bar drinking?

Oh...

You were lit!

I wasn't lit.

I had five beers... Five beers,

seven beers, ten beers...

I'd beat catfish

after having seven.

Okay?

You don't think that

we drink and smoke

all goddamn game long

in the bullpen anyway?

That's not the point!

The point is

you abandoned your team!

You're a deserter.

A deserter.

Where the f*** are we, Hanoi?

Look, I was just trying to

make a statement. All right?

Where is the compassion

on this team?

Rodney has a family.

Rodney Scott is none

of your business.

None of my business?

Rodney has given us everything

that he has for three years.

He has won ball games for us,

and he is one of the most decent

guys that we have on this team.

He's my f***ing friend. And you

f***ing lie to him over and over.

This is a business, Lee, plain and simple.

It's a business.

Rodney was batting .200.

Numbers don't lie.

Lee, listen.

You can't fight reality, Lee.

Ever seen reality? You ever

noticed what reality is?

Because you lose every time.

Do you have a Webster's

dictionary in here or just

comic books and porn?

Why me? What did I

do to deserve him?

I want you to look up the word

"integrity" and tell me what it says.

That's enough.

"Integrity is the essence

of everything successful."

Buckminster Fuller said that.

Who?

Yeah, exactly.

I am sick and tired of this

intellectual bullshit!

This is baseball, not UCLA.

Goodrich wants to see you in
