last year in the majors I'm the starting

pitcher and what happens I die

go to heaven and I'm warming the bench

with the rest of these rejects sorry

guys I mean come on they didn't even

give me a set of wings like everybody

else you have to prove yourself first

prove myself how am I gonna do that if

they never let me play you know what the

press called me when I was playing

called you BA bugler

the bungler that was Dexter Deakin and

he hates everybody he doesn't hate Mark

McGwire I taught McGwire everything he

knows and don't even talk to me about

Sammy so that's me

with accent no they called me up and

coming up and coming I still got the

clip what's that nevermind what's this

say right here it says Bob bugler Oh

what I wouldn't give for just one more

season

[Music]

by the dawn's early light what so

proudly we hailed at the twilight's last

gleaming whose broad stripes and bright

I'm not the one making all the airs is

that guy in left-field the rightfielder

couldn't catch a fly ball has save his

life don't see much ichika the Hubble

became a joke it's red glare the bombs

bursting he's a starting pitcher and

he's not even here yet

so glad you could make it buzz off

[Music]

shares by Microsoft Selma what nothing

[Music]

excuse me those aren't your seats to

over please direct your attention behind

home plate for the always colorful Hey

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

decide my program mr. Everett that was

wonderful

let's come yet call me often picture

steady Eddie Everett always friendly

where the fans is starting for the

angels and he got the nickname steady

from his slow and deliberate pitching

style unfortunately as the worst record

of any starting pitcher this year I I

don't think the worst oh yeah that's the

worst which is probably appropriate

since the Angels have the worst record

of any American League team this year

and yet there's still that sense of

excitement among the angel fans Oh talk

about your heavy hitters you know if

Eddie represents what can go wrong in a

career Randy flexes what can go right

best record in the league these two have

history together

oh yeah going back with a rookie year

looks like angel manager Guus Keeler is

sending in new signals

[Music]

oh that ball is out of here

[Music]

[Music]

yeah yeah what do we got to put in

[Music]

we lost that one hanging by a thread

[Applause]

this is a yes oh Claire it's always good

to hear from you

can we talk about alimony another time

I'm at the ballpark right hate baseball

you're biting your nails and to what do

I owe the honor of your presence

hoarse paper said I'd Sodom no our

daughter Laurel what's wrong what's

wrong is she spent the last six years of

your life without a father we handle

this what's wrong is I got a job at

Harvard and I don't all right better her

to save me with her father what I want

Laurel to get to know her father better

I'm not the father you know that I can

barely take care of myself

months that's the rest of the season

all righty I just love the way you

reduce all the joy and beauty in life to

a little game play with a ball and a

stick

where where are you let's talk about

this like two sensible adults all right

let's talk about this just don't go

until I'm out of this anywhere out here

done steady Eddy back to pitch he seems

to be in quite a hurry

and as always we'll take his time

throwing out the first stand corrected

and he seems to want to change the tempo

of this they must put something in Ed's

copy because it's Andy strikes out the

first batter in record time sorry Eddie

asked me to keep you here

[Music]

[Music]

we're in Section C no I don't understand

it he seems to be checking a runner at

third but there is no runner at third oh

why are you doing this for him I'm his

agent agents don't do those since Jerry

Maguire I do nothing but this Oh once a

year maybe I would hug my mother now I'm

hugging clients left and right I don't

even stop it in the fall - and - just

one more strike that's all he needs and

he's out of this inning

I used to love Eddie so much and then he

just gave up

[Music]

there's a third out and where's Eddie

going

[Music]

well gotta go you gotta go I guess

[Music]

just think of the game I don't know much

about baseball is that you got there la

embarrassing performance by the Angels

[Music]

welcome back to the 1992 American League

Championship and let me tell you why

what a game this has been the angels

have it all but wrapped up there and in

one to nothing

shutout away from going to the World

Series and this game clearly launched

the rookie pitcher Andy M he has pitched

an almost perfect game and now he's one

out away from becoming an Angels legend

next up for the Red Sox they go to the

bottom of the order for an deflect

possible rookie but a very different

story

not much as expected

perfect fastball boy Eddie is by

the way that's mrs. ever there in the

stands cheering on her husband said I

believe that's their young daughter

Laurel understand it's her birthday

today but of present having you Deb

independent alright here comes the pitch

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

and

in a matter of seconds it cost his team

the path

[Music]

faces in the stands that tells you the

whole story right there

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

was like seven and I don't even know if

I believe in you or not but if you do

doing

[Music]

you give them another chance could you

make it so easy with Championships again

needs is a little self-confidence oh it

can be a good dad again could you do

that

really appreciate it Thanks

pitch away from sweeping the world

series just listen to that crowd they're

little busy he asked me to take you up

he asked me also to apologize for your

argument last night if you're heading

out to Anaheim for the ballgame why do

kids have to be more adult than their

parents no because adults are afraid of

growing old so they act like they're

young and kids are afraid of sinning

of course he's gonna say that he's an

agent you know where they end up go hey

I hear Sammy Sosa is looking for a new

agent

you prayed for help you're an angel

who's an angel who's bad angels don't

exist if you're an angel then how can we

don't have any wings I knew I was gonna

get this oh and by the way don't even

ask about the halo because I won't wear

one I think less is more

all right now look I am here to help

Eddie win the pennant angels gonna help

my dad in the pennant

what God has nothing better to do than

win a pennant for my dad what God but

apparently I don't give in this job

assignment don't we believe angel don't

don't listen to her just say no I was

joking I was talking Angelus

that's not inappropriate hi Simon uh I

have a hockey player who was five games

away from a Stanley Cup that's hockey oh

man did you tell him that I hate hockey

by the way and oh I'm over here I'm so

over by the mustard the condiment

section I should have known

you're angels my name is is Simon nice

to meet you

you want some onion no neck you got the

onion but they don't smell right you

don't bite pig in a blanket with a boat

dock coming up oh what's a hot dog

without onions but they do make me put

them a best feature but we're in public

[Laughter]

I relate to people in a certain way it's

part of the business my men I'm not just

a 10% deeper thing

but you know what they say you don't use

it you lose it

I'm an angel I'm here because you prayed

and a child's prayers were more precious

than gold I was just like your dad when

I was still down here and I want to give

him the second chance that I never had

do you believe me

yes

let's get to work it's the top of the

8th and it's not looking good for the

angels in their three-game series of the

Crimson Devils oh they're gonna need a

miracle to pull this one out and I don't

think they're gonna find it today and

Eddie Everest having a disastrous time

dad huh believe what saw an angel my

stock portfolio said he had to get some

help and you'd be right back why does

manager Gus Keeler keep Eddie Everett in

is he here I'll take that as a yes okay

ask him what he thinks of high-tech

stocks hey need some help here

I got it look toward the sky what the

sky

[Music]

[Applause]

well we're kind of rustic angels rusty

actually um second-string

well who do I pray to get the first

string excuse me there's no need to get

nasty

well the sins a strangest game I've seen

in 12 years of broadcasting ladies

gentlemen with the Angels continuing

their downward slide

he flew yeah okay we need some work

figures I would get a guardian angel he

needs training

[Music]

[Music]

Wow

[Music]

we're going into training

managed a lot of baseball teams in my

time yesterday was the first time I've

ever been embarrassed to be a manager

beginning of this season I asked one

thing of you guys that was play hard a

hundred and ten percent every day and

not for me but for that little girl she

prayed to us and what did we do because

today we start again

today we go back to fundamentals want to

play like minor leaguers I'm gonna treat

you like minor league I'm gonna send you

all home exhausted why

[Music]

that's how many games angels are out of

the valkyries that's what we have to do

to answer little ones prayers

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

go go no wait

what do you think we need help what we

need is a manager that's what I always

told mark mcgwire behind every great

team is a great man

[Music]

yeah didn't you always say you wanted to

manage oh how should I put this gently

right you ever heard of a pitcher named

Bob bugler longer that is not my name

one game and I'm cursed for life it's

pretty good up in come on thank you

exactly mr. B's initials in the man

before it bitch BB for good luck really

apparently it wasn't that good well

remember I said I saw an angel before

the game well that's him Bob

well III know I didn't believe it either

but it's true you might want to speed

this up baby he looks like he's fading I

pray that she would win the pennant race

Matz why Bob is here but when you tried

to help you yesterday didn't work out so

well because he's been out of training

for so long he doesn't believe in

himself so he needs your help managing

because he can't train a man at the same

time so dad are you listening to

anything I'm saying yeah dad I need your

help

here's a suggestion your father is very

tired so every time the phrase I need

your help occurs do you see how I will

help myself

[Music]

too much time in the Sun man

good game today I don't think depends on

your definition of good

[Music]

and welcome back to Stratton field for

the final inning of this angels Orioles

matchup and the score hardly reflects

how Baltimore has controlled this game

yellows got a lucky run early on but the

Orioles have dominated ever since

and yet the always plucky angels have

blown every opportunity that's come

their way folks and Baltimore could

really put away right here struggling

pitcher Eddie Everett has put a man on

first two outs by the way this may be

the last time back to double-a Everett

that's a well hit single so where is he

so to get back to us as soon as

what is he an angel or an agent

[Applause]

well I've got to do it for Eddie folks

castle beyond the bullpen phone any

second

[Applause]

what's like an is practically pleading

with gusts to replace him

it's a sad swan song for a once great

player

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

okay he believes my snap

[Music]

well one fruit a

you know folks were probably seeing the

last pitch in Eddie's professional

career right here separate fight I'm

kind of watching

Wow where did that fish come from I

don't think half a stadium even saw that

fastball

I wouldn't mind checking our radar on

that

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

I don't want to say mo I would say that

any ever it gets out of his slump it's

just a lucky pitch that's all

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

I think okay yeah about the world series

I don't want to you know be greedy or

anything but it really helped in his

career if he would engage one and games

for those your big TV games that's when

the Nielsen's go up

[Music]

keep your head up it's your problem no

problem in fact I'm here to help you

with yours

get lost Eddie Everett is getting out

please excuse the theatrics we still

deal with paper what are you an agent of

a swords how would you like to win the

American League pennant and not only see

Eddie lose but see his life ruined you

ever heard the saying it's not enough to

win I want my enemies destroying that

was me what's this here

representing the whole school and then

district recital well that is great what

is it two weeks

I want to go you talking about of course

I do

well the same days championship worried

about that when the time comes I'm going

like we always used to do Laurel

well folks a mixed bag in tonight's

highlights with the Angels winning

several high-profile trades so do

something about it

we do

[Music]

they just pick me up from school

oh he wanted to get stuck if he's stuck

then how come his cars parked out front

because he Hey

how is school by the way are you are you

I'm going really really I'm getting

stuck again ever been embarrassed about

you

[Music]

mr. Dodd I miss to your privacy

angels winning what was the last time

you heard those two words in the same

sentence huh

and yet the Angels beat the top-seeded

Orioles last week hey will this one game

winning streak last give me a break

this week's three-game series against

the red-hot Red Sox and tell us whether

or not the moon is made out of green

cheese the Angels could make it two in a

row Jacobs is ready to bat what

he's not even in the lineup I know but

he believes he's ready hey Dad

Jacobs needs to bet

he's not in the lineup I know did you

get him in as a pitcher he's ready he's

ready what is he a pot roast

she believes that's what Bob Keebler

said I what do you want Eddie Jacobs

dementia

sitting 115 for the season he finally

got a guy in second base got the winning

run at the plate Gus

he was instinctual when you left me in

and I had the bases loaded right you

don't know why you did it it didn't make

any sense but it paid off this is the

same thing but why Jacobs because

because people do incredible things when

you believe

alright alright I'm holding you

accountable Jacobs huh go get him

Jacobs this way well here's an odd mood

with what man on Gus is putting in

Jacobs as a pinch-hitter yeah sorry ah

Jacobs is one of the worst hitters in

the league

[Music]

[Music]

like to go Jacobs is putting on a

founder to pumping himself up before he

gets to the plate yeah

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

well oddly enough the moon was proved to

be made out of green cheese yesterday as

the Angels find themselves 11 games out

of the playoffs folks this commentator

is gonna bet his reputation on their

winning streak coming to an end today in

their second game against the red-hot

Red Sox their X under the square root of

pi equals x prime y must be the secant

yes as Einstein once said in his

eloquent dress to the 1912 physicists

slide you idiot slide of course what he

meant by this was that if you slide

[Music]

you

[Music]

what's the matter Eddie nothing what is

this song

[Music]

as Beethoven's ninth and D minor

we're popularly known as ode to joy' why

I think they're my high Eddy's pitching

well it isn't here to be any real reason

for this conference could be some

confusion about the catcher signals huh

well lady can't get Beethoven on his

head piano sonatas like a chair dos

symphonies through the 9th try some out

a number 5 opus 73 you like the sonatas

I find them a little bit derivative

derivative we talking about well my

curiosity is up there must be some

serious baseball talk going on in the

mouth you know post Baroque has it all

older classes you kidding I think one

Beethoven very two bites

Mozart blow them all away oh yeah yeah

what are you guys crazy Schubert

you

you know folks from the very beginning

of the season I've said keep an eye on

those angels they're going places

personal friend of mine by the way the

miraculous turnaround by the once

deadbeat halo benchwarmer Jacobs has

truly crushed and destroyed the Oriole

bullpen okay ax squared is you wanna

bread Keeler is now starting with door

number get in there between the angels

and the pennant

there's the formidable crimson Devils

that is if the Crimson Devils could win

their game today against the red-hot Red

Sox well

playtime is over

play ball

[Music]

I should have known

just trying to keep things fair oh boy

five

homerun 6-0 how many players did you

send to the hospital for two umpires

like you were a little rusty

bomb threats drive-by shootings isn't

this a little boring for you it's a

sideline what can I do for you stay away

from the Angels why because you can't

win

and that's right if this was a fair

fight we'd lose what does that mean it

means I cheat it means there's one

player you can't win

it means Eddie Everett won't be playing

tomorrow don't you go near him that's

beautiful I don't have to well ladies

and gentlemen the day has finally

arrived the day of metaphysical

proportions a day that's gonna see the

Angels pitted against the Crimson Devils

[Music]

[Music]

Oh freak the Crimson Devils are going to

be relying heavily on their star hitter

Randy Fleck he is one tough competitor

we caught up with Randy in the locker

room and he had this to say if Eddie

wants to see how serious I am

should make an appointment with my

people

[Music]

Laurel why don't you go in my down

[Music]

you know I find deep thought and

meditation always worse

[Music]

[Music]

you

oh the crimson Devils go up 2-0 it's a

pitchers game and the halos are

suffering without their stuff and so the

fans have got to be asking themselves

second
