Jose, we can't have you throwing tantrums out on the field. You're a grown man and you can't act that way anymore. |
 |
I know, coach, I just get so emotional about this game. |
 |
Emotion is good, but you can't let it get the best of you. That's why I brought in a New York baseball legend to set you straight. He's an expert in learning how to control your emotional impulses. |
 |
Wow, four-time world champion Paul O'Neill! |
 |
That's FIVE time world champion, you ASSHOLE!
/rips off batting gloves, flings them across clubhouse |
 |
Oh yeah, I forget you won one with the Reds. |
 |
How could you forget that?! We swept the A's!! I mean, C'MONNN!!
/takes off batting helmet, bounces it off ground 12 feet in the air |
 |
I'm sorry, I was just a little kid when that happened. |
 |
And it woulda been SIX if stupid Mariano could've shut the door on the fucking DIAMONDBACKS!! JESUS!!
/bites knuckles until bloody |
 |
Whoah, that's not fair. Mariano Rivera is, like, the best closer in the history of time. |
 |
You don't know what you're TALKING ABOUT! That ball was nowhere NEAR the plate!
/yanks jersey out of pants, pops three buttons |
 |
Ball? What ball? |
 |
Yeah, exactly--it was a BALL!! I don't take strikes, okay? I CRUSH THEM! If I don't swing, that means IT'S NOT A STRIKE!
/bashes water cooler with Louisville Slugger |
 |
You see, Jose? This is the way a professional athlete acts. |
 |
It looks more like the way a whiny crybaby acts to me. |
 |
WHAT?!
/puts hands on hips, rolls eyes skyward |
 |
No, you don't understand. He's showing passion! |
 |
Does "showing passion" include kicking his cleats off and eating them? |
 |
/gnaws on Nikes |
 |
Yes, it shows he's fiery! That's how he led the Yankees to four World Series titles! |
 |
I thought it was because he was a good hitter in a lineup full of other good hitters. Plus all their pitchers were on steroids. |
 |
Well, yeah, that too. |
 |
When you put on the pinstripes, you have a duty to uphold the legacy of Ruth and Mantle and...OH, YOU GOTTA BE SHITTING ME WITH THIS STRIKE ZONE, UMP!!
/rips open sunflower seed pack with teeth, swallows entire pack, spits it out onto floor |
 |
You see, Jose, you have a long way to go before you can be the kind of inspirational leader that Paul was in his prime. |
 |
So if I wanna act like a spoiled brat, I have to be old, white, and on a winning team that's not full of broken down veterans. |
 |
Pretty much, yeah. |
 |
GOD, I will EAT your CHILDREN!!
/pulls leather strings out of fielder's mitt one by one with his teeth |
