it takes for one wheelchair.

Not to mention the wasted space

for the oxygen bottle!

Those little shits never pay

full price anyway.

I just realized

I can't stand you!

You can kiss these puppies goodbye.

Sh*t, Coop. I'm sorry. I guess

the money did go to my head.

No, I'm sorry, Remer.

I've got a lot to learn

about sharing.

Look at me!

I've become everything I used to hate.

Maybe we

just grew up too fast.

My worst enemy turned out to be me.

- Dude.

- Dude.

- Dude?

- Dude.

I've got two over.

Alright!

Let's go win the championship!

- Hey, that's my wife!

- Yeah, and this is me!

What is it? - I hear

your sister's going out with Squeak.

Squeak Scolari

crosses the plate again

as the Beers have come

roaring back since the break.

This is more like the Beers team

we've seen all season.

9th inning.

Beers still down by 2 runs.

Felons on 1st and 3rd.

The Beers have to stop Dallas

if they want to stay in this game.

The always dangerous Grumsky coming up.

Get this guy. - I don't know what to do.

Nothing works on him.

Tell him he's fat.

- That's not cool.

No no, just do it really subtle.

Subtle...

Hey Grumsky, you losing weight?

You're goddam f***ing fat...

The Beers hold them on the 9th

on a clutch psych-out

by Coop Cooper.

Bottom of the 9th.

Dallas 16, Milwaukee 14.

Remer on 2nd,

Scolari on 3rd.

Coop's coming up.

It all comes down to this. One shot.

If Coop makes it,

the Beers win the Cup

and get to keep the team.

Or he misses.

Oh, my God!

LA-Z-BOY has popped!

The ball Coop has used every day.

A time-out has been called,

as the Beers star

tries to regroup. - Excuse me,

think you could go any faster?

- Can I go any faster?

Hang on!

No doubt 'bout it Al. The loss of this ball is going

to affect the outcome of this game.

Come on, kids!

It's just one shot! You can do it!

We can win this thing.

Stop! Don't shoot!

Here. I brought this for you.

I made it myself. Just like you.

- You made this?

Miss Reed helped me for most of it.

But I finished it myself.

Joey, this is great.

Coop, you know what

Miss Reed told me tonight?

She said she wants me

to be a big sports star.

Just like Joe Cooper.

Thanks, dude!

- Go get 'em, Coop!

When's the last time you made a

homerun without LA-Z-BOY?

Al, we've seen some classic

Denslow Cup battles in the past,

but I can't remember one that rivalled

the drama and excitement of this one.

It's off the rim...

Could be a double play.

Darcy tips.

Jansen's try...

No!

Beers have a shot at the conversion!

Remer keeps it alive!

Last chance...

Coop up!

It's...

...good!

In all my years of calling games

I've never been this excited.

You're excited?

Feel these nipples!

Update:
We still have no f***ing clue

where this guy is.

Alright.

Coop, what is it?

- Who is it?

- It's Reggie.

Reggie Jackson.

Well, go! Go ahead!

Nice going out there.

Thanks. You know I gotta tell you,

it's 'cause of you that I'm here.

That's nice to know.

I brought this for you!

I saw some kid in the ballpark with it.

You gotta hang on to that.

I got the two home run balls I hit

in the World Series.

Some little sh*t got the 3rd one.

That sucks. I gotta get my trophy.

Let's have a hot dog sometime.

Alright, sounds good.

- Hey Coop!

- I don't have your f***ing ball!

Good luck next year.

- Oh, thanks!

Got milk?

I'm sorry.

The National Baseketball League

would like to present to the Beers

With this year's Denslow Cup.

Congratulations!

Take your victory lap.

As they skate off,

one thinks about a team that conquered

adversity, overcame the odds,

a team that defied the critics,

a team that...

And so, the ideal of sports

once again blossomed

from a tiny seed,

nurtured, as always,

by the dreams of the young.

I'm the King of the World!
