Yacht Club?

645

00:
53:41,708 -- 00:53:43,835

I haven't really told my parents

about you.

646

00:
53:43,919 -- 00:53:45,838

And you didn't tell me

about Chris.

647

00:
53:46,839 -- 00:53:50,175

I told Chris I needed to take

this summer off.

648

00:
53:50,342 -- 00:53:54,263

Everybody is pressuring me. My father

is pushing me to go to San Francisco.

649

00:
53:55,682 -- 00:53:58,685

I just wanted to do nothing

for the summer.

650

00:
54:02,772 -- 00:54:03,648

Yeah.

651

00:
54:04,024 -- 00:54:06,192

And I'm the nothing you picked.

652

00:
54:07,318 -- 00:54:09,528

- Ryan, listen to me.

- No.

653

00:
54:10,070 -- 00:54:13,032

Let's go back to:

I'm the guy who cuts your father's grass.

654

00:
54:13,116 -- 00:54:14,826

Everybody is more comfortable

that way.

655

00:
54:15,660 -- 00:54:18,455

That's not fair. Ryan, I'm sorry.

656

00:
54:26,255 -- 00:54:27,715

Hey, Miles.

657

00:
54:35,348 -- 00:54:37,183

That is unhealthy.

658

00:
54:37,515 -- 00:54:39,059

Can we not do this again?

659

00:
54:39,476 -- 00:54:41,561

Domo, don't you think that's

unhealthy?

660

00:
54:42,228 -- 00:54:45,190

You think all sex is unhealthy.

Never mind.

661

00:
54:45,775 -- 00:54:51,113

What I'm saying is, Miles, these women

are too big to be fooling with.

662

00:
54:51,864 -- 00:54:56,327

I'm afraid in the heat of passion one of them

will roll over on you. Squash you dead.

663

00:
55:00,290 -- 00:55:01,416

Ryan, hold up a second.

664

00:
55:04,378 -- 00:55:06,338

Did you go over the lineup?

665

00:
55:07,129 -- 00:55:09,632

The number four and number

five batters are red-hot.

666

00:
55:10,591 -- 00:55:14,887

The four guy, he jumps on the first pitch

and five sits on breaking stuff.

667

00:
55:18,433 -- 00:55:21,937

You know, I was a pitcher at

Florida State for three years.

668

00:
55:23,231 -- 00:55:26,609

I had a cup of coffee with

the Twins. Half a cup.

669

00:
55:29,027 -- 00:55:34,032

When you're a pitcher you got to pray

that your stuff will show up.

670

00:
55:36,410 -- 00:55:39,579

Then one day you have this moment

where it all just arrives.

671

00:
55:39,746 -- 00:55:41,665

Everything clicks.

672

00:
55:41,708 -- 00:55:46,921

Command, control, velocity.

You feel invincible.

673

00:
55:48,673 -- 00:55:50,675

You'll spend many nights

out there looking for it.

674

00:
55:51,926 -- 00:55:54,345

But once you've found it,

just once, it's yours.

675

00:
55:56,180 -- 00:55:59,142

You have it inside you,

and you know you have it.

676

00:
56:00,644 -- 00:56:04,064

It gives you the strength

to go out there night after night...

677

00:
56:04,064 -- 00:56:06,442

and face those sons of b*tches.

678

00:
56:13,073 -- 00:56:16,994

Holding your breath underwater and

go-cart racing will never be Olympic events.

679

00:
56:17,244 -- 00:56:18,329

Why not?

680

00:
56:20,706 -- 00:56:23,500

Go get them. You're wicked awesome.

Ry in the game tonight, baby.

681

00:
56:24,960 -- 00:56:26,003

Wait!

682

00:
56:26,253 -- 00:56:28,047

What if I cut my left arm off?

683

00:
56:28,423 -- 00:56:31,426

Do you think they'd let me compete

in the Special Olympics?

684

00:
56:31,593 -- 00:56:33,511

I'd really love to win a medal.

685

00:
56:34,553 -- 00:56:39,391

Pete, why don't you go sit by the garbage

and think about what you just said, okay?

686

00:
56:39,935 -- 00:56:43,396

You need to go, bud.

That's messed up, Pete.

687

00:
56:45,607 -- 00:56:47,651

Hey, fish girl, get out of here.

688

00:
56:49,653 -- 00:56:53,156

Go. Get out of here.

Take a hike.

689

00:
56:59,121 -- 00:57:02,875

Still scoreless as the Hyannis Mets

come to bat in the top of the fourth.

690

00:
57:04,668 -- 00:57:07,504

Say, Dick, what do you make

of this kid, Dunne?

691

00:
57:08,213 -- 00:57:11,675

- Good fast ball, bad mechanics.

- But there's something about him.

692

00:
57:11,717 -- 00:57:15,930

He's throwing that heavy ball and

a heavy ball ain't going to find many bats.

693

00:
57:17,139 -- 00:57:20,017

- I'll see you tomorrow.

- Yeah, you will.

694

00:
57:22,603 -- 00:57:24,647

One down now. Come on, boys.

695

00:
57:25,314 -- 00:57:28,234

The Mets have one out in the fourth,

with a runner on first.

696

00:
57:31,571 -- 00:57:33,532

Line drive. Great stab by Robin!

697

00:
57:34,573 -- 00:57:37,576

There's the throw to first.

It's a double play!

698

00:
57:47,462 -- 00:57:48,714

That a boy. Here you go.

699

00:
57:51,383 -- 00:57:53,677

Luck don't last forever, lawn boy.

700

00:
57:57,056 -- 00:57:59,475

It's all right, man. It's all right.

Stay focused.

701

00:
58:03,979 -- 00:58:06,857

Ryan Dunne's in a bit of a jam

here in the sixth.

702

00:
58:06,983 -- 00:58:12,196

I don't believe he and the catcher, Brubaker

are seeing eye-to-eye on pitch selection.

703

00:
58:18,579 -- 00:58:20,456

Just outside. Ball four.

704

00:
58:21,539 -- 00:58:23,291

Come on, blue, what was that?

705

00:
58:24,250 -- 00:58:26,502

Doyle trots to first,

and that will load them up.

706

00:
58:26,754 -- 00:58:28,964

Get off your knees, man,

you're blowing the game.

707

00:
58:29,089 -- 00:58:30,674

Did you say something, son?

708

00:
58:31,215 -- 00:58:34,385

No, sir, he didn't. Come on, Ry.

709

00:
58:34,510 -- 00:58:38,973

This is the kind of situation where

Dunne has become undone in the past.

710

00:
58:41,601 -- 00:58:44,771

I'm just trying to figure out

what inning you'll self-destruct.

711

00:
58:46,482 -- 00:58:49,109

Fastball plunks him in the back.

712

00:
58:50,444 -- 00:58:52,780

One big mistake.

713

00:
59:00,496 -- 00:59:01,538

Time.

714

00:
59:17,098 -- 00:59:19,392

Does his wife know he's

screwing us?

715

00:
59:20,558 -- 00:59:22,686

Let's not have a meltdown out here.

716

00:
59:23,396 -- 00:59:25,189

- It's me.

- What?

717

00:
59:26,482 -- 00:59:29,819

I don't think he appreciates

me farting in his face all night.

718

00:
59:30,151 -- 00:59:33,196

First, it was accidental.

Now I'm trying to make him cry.

719

00:
59:33,446 -- 00:59:37,534

I just dropped a bomb back there and I'm

pretty sure I just poo-pooed in my panties.

720

00:
59:39,869 -- 00:59:42,080

All right. Bear down.

721

00:
59:45,710 -- 00:59:49,088

Right now, we're playing catch, all right?

Just play catch. Come on now.

722

00:
59:49,755 -- 00:59:51,590

Dunne trying to regain his composure.

723

00:
59:51,632 -- 00:59:55,928

One run already in, and the bases

are still loaded with one out here in the sixth.

724

01:
00:00,891 -- 01:00:02,685

And there's a wild pitch.

725

01:
00:09,943 -- 01:00:13,238

One runner scores and here comes Doyle,

all the way from second.

726

01:
00:14,990 -- 01:00:18,243

- Safe. He's safe.

- Come on!

727

01:
00:22,081 -- 01:00:24,459

Somebody put a quarter

in the merry-go-round.

728

01:
00:25,126 -- 01:00:28,463

You got more than that, son.

I'm telling you right now.

729

01:
00:30,547 -- 01:00:34,468

What began as a pitchers' duel

turned into a rout...
