 |
BallparkFrank: No. You see, you "bat" the baseball with it, hence the term "bat". |
 |
InJapan_Bowden: I just think that if they were that important I would have heard of them by now. |
|
BallparkFrank: Look, just trust me. Get me a big run-scorer. Someone who can hit. |
|
InJapan_Bowden: ohh all righttt |
| |
**OnlineHost** BallparkFrank has left the chatroom. |
|
InJapan_Bowden: ohhh crumble bumble what am I going to do?
/wrings hands |
|
InJapan_Bowden: ok, Jim, you can do this! Go get 'em, champ!
ok ok ok let's uh, let's |
|
InJapan_Bowden: ok. Time to think of a baseball player who is good. That's the trick to this business, right? Hiring people to play baseball for your team who are good at baseball! |
|
InJapan_Bowden: Here, I'll just run down this alphabetized master list of major-league players. Starting at, ohhh...the SORs. Those are my initials! |
|
InJapan_Bowden: Here we are! |
| |
**OnlineHost** InJapan_Bowden has invited Soriano4_2004 to the chatroom. |
| |
**OnlineHost** Soriano4_2004 has joined the chatroom. |
|
InJapan_Bowden: Are you good at baseball? |
 |
Soriano4_2004: I like to think so. But you already have a good second baseman. Why do you want me? |
|
InJapan_Bowden: I think you will be a great addition to our baseball. Would you be willing to play outfield? |
|
Soriano4_2004: No. Actually, I've expressed throughout my entire career that I under no circumstances want to play outfield, so signing me to play outfield would pretty much be the worst decision ever made. |
|
InJapan_Bowden: I have arranged a trade. You're now part of the team!
Time to play outer field, Steven! |
 |
Soriano4_2004: I. What?...uh.
...
Just nevermind. Nevermind. |
| |
**OnlineHost** BallparkFrank has joined the chatroom. |
|
InJapan_Bowden: Frank! Glad you're here! Look who I signed to play for the Washington Baseballs! |
|
BallparkFrank: ...Alfonso Soriano? What? Why? Jose Vidro is playing second. |
|
InJapan_Bowden: Well I just thought that baseball. |
|
BallparkFrank: Uh.
Anyway. It's not going to work! You need to undo the damage you just did! |
|
InJapan_Bowden: Okay.
Vidro, you're playing fifth base. |
|
InVidroFertilization: Where is that? |
|
InJapan_Bowden: in OUTERRRR FIELLLD
DUN DUN DUNNNN
OUTER SPAAAACE |
|
BallparkFrank: What? God dammit, no! We need less outfielders! We need a second baseman! |
|
InJapan_Bowden: dyowwwww milkduds! I'm no good at this baseball business!
Here. Here! Mr. Jim will fix it! |
|
**OnlineHost** InJapan_Bowden has placed an order for 20,000 second-base bags. |
|
BallparkFrank: No. Just stop. No. |
|
InJapan_Bowden: Jim got himself in this mess; Jim will find his way out! |
|
**OnlineHost** InJapan_Bowden has arranged to bulldoze RFK Stadium to make room for a kiosk that sells used Sega CD games. |
