The Open Road
(3.00 / 1 vote)Last season,
a lot of people thought he was playing
even better than his dad did
when he first came into the minors,
but lately, you know,
Garrett's been in a bit of a slump.
Carlton's father, of course,
retired Hall-of-Famer Kyle Garrett.
And now he's back at the plate.
Halliday sets.
And the 1-2.
High fly ball,
right centerfield.
This should do it.
And, well, the Hooks
lose this one 6-0.
Corpus has now lost the series,
but it's the first series
the Hooks have lost
since May 26th.
Son of a b*tch.
Hey, Garrett,
come talk to me for a minute.
What's going on with you?
I'm just trying to
figure some things out.
Figure things out?
Yeah, you know,
whatever it is that's eluding me.
No, nothing's
eluding you, Garrett.
You're just stuck in your head,
that's all.
And baseball players
don't say things like "eluding."
So pull it out of your ass
and play some ball for me,
- will you, please?!
- Okay, Coach.
I got to level with you.
If things don't go well this weekend,
I'm thinking of making some changes.
Hey.
She had some
trouble breathing after lunch,
- What did they say?
They've recommended
a procedure.
It's a catheterization
of some kind.
I don't know.
They've had a lot of success with it,
but there's always a risk.
Now, listen,
they've got her on antibiotics
and they have to wait a few days,
but she won't agree to sign
the surgery waiver.
Right.
If she falls unconscious,
they can do it without her consent.
Otherwise we'll need
a court order
and I don't know
if we can get one.
Okay, Grandad,
I'll talk to her.
Hey.
Hey, I was listening.
What happened to you
out there tonight?
I thought you were
gonna pull that off.
Yeah, me too.
Were you wearing your thing?
Oh.
We've been buds a long time,
haven't we?
Yes we have.
And have I asked you for much
during that time?
Have I asked you
for many favors?
No, not really.
Okay, I need to ask you
for one now.
Anything, Mom.
You know that.
I need to see your father.
Mom.
If he's not here
when I go into surgery,
I'm gonna die
on that table.
- Come on.
- You tell him I'm crazy.
You tell him... I don't care...
whatever you want to tell him,
but I'm not signing that waiver
till he gets here.
I won't.
Okay, wait a second.
Let's just calm down here.
No, I need to see him, Carlton.
And don't tell me to calm down
when I'm laying here
with a f***ing hole in my heart!
Mom!
Sh*t, I'm scared.
Sh*t.
I'm scared!
Okay, this time I am really scared
and I don't know why.
So please tell me you'll do it.
- If that's what you want.
- That is what I want.
Okay, I'll do it.
I promise.
Thanks.
Hey.
- Hey.
Look, I'm sorry
to just call like this, but...
Wow.
Why don't you
just try calling him?
You don't know him, Lucy.
I mean, he's not exactly
easy to talk to.
Ah.
If you were to ask this guy
how he was doing,
instead of saying "fine,"
he would say
something like
"Better than a chigger
on the back of a hound dog."
I don't get it either.
Well, I guess
you are in a pickle.
I don't know what to tell you.
I mean, I'm sorry
about your mom.
I am.
Yeah yeah, I know.
Well, I'm subbing for
two classes in the morning.
You gonna be okay?
- Yeah.
- You call me if you need anything,
or if Katherine needs anything.
Okay.
Thanks for coming over.
Love you.
Love you too.
Did I wake you?
No, I was just baking
a fruitcake.
You want some?
Good one.
Um, I wanted to say thanks
for coming by earlier.
- Did you call him?
