**Online Host** Rick Ankiel throws a pitch threw the head of a cardboard cutout. The year is 2004. |
 |
broken_ankiel: This isn't working. I can't do it. That creepy Tommy Lasorda cutout is too damn weird. |
|
BrumAndBrummer: quit fightin the ball an throw it |
|
broken_ankiel: You've been saying that for months now and I still don't know what the hell you're talking about. I'm not fighting anything I just can't get past this mental block. I'm sorry but I quit, coach. |
|
BrumAndBrummer: many a man come across mental block. only those with a gift get through. |
|
broken_ankiel: Well guess what buddy I don't got it. I never did and I never will.
/smashes pitchback with bat |
|
BrumAndBrummer: ...kid

|
broken_ankiels: /cranks Lasorda head into parking lot |
|
BrumAndBrummer: well i think we found aselves a answer kid. youve got that gift i was talkin bout earlier. you got a big one. |
|
BrumAndBrummer: the road back is long and tiring but if you want this back like i know you do you will trust me. |

**Online Host** Welcome to 2007 Cardinals Chat! |

Announcer: And what a story we have here tonight. Rick Ankiel, the once rookie godsend equiped with a torrid fastball and biting curveball, returns to the major leagues tonight not to pitch, but to hit. 0-3 so far in the evening he's looking for his first major league hit as an outfielder. |
|
Announcer: It was just 2000 that we saw him crumple into a paper ball and suffer a mental block like no other. I'm certain most any fan of the game wishes him the best. |
|
broken_ankiel: Head down, shoulders square, feet parallel....or were they supposed to be perpendicular? |
|
broken_ankiel: Oh God it's happening again...I'm thinking too hard and my timing is slipping. I knew I shouldnt have tried this. |
|
BrumAndBrummer: quit fighting the ball an hit it |
|
broken_ankiel: That's it! Just accept the ball, any outcome, however I look as it is. I just need to exhibit patience! |
| |
**Online Host** broken_ankiel has cranked a homerun. The stadium is electric |
|
broken_ankiel: I did it! Haha! I'm back baby yeah! |
|
BrumAndBrummer: i knew you had it kid. |
|
broken_ankiel: Thank you so much, Glenn. I owe it all to you.
So what's next? |
|
BrumAndBrummer: well ya fucked |
|
broken_ankiel: Uh, come again? |
|
BrumAndBrummer: i hope you had fun hitting that homerun because that's likely the last one you'll ever see. listen kid i dont know who you think i am but I was just getting you your one homerun to get back into the swing. that's all |
|
broken_ankiel: So I'm really done? |
|
BrumAndBrummer: well w'iell see but history says so. toss me that stat book behind you |
|
broken_ankiel: /toss |
|
broken_ankiel: Hey! I did it! I threw something accurately! Maybe I do have a shot! |
| |
**Onilne Host** The stat book has b-lined straight into BrumAndBrummer's face |
|
broken_ankiel: Oh, well I guess that's about right. |
