:09:00
Crash Davis?
l'm Joe Riggins.
:09:04
And you, Larry Hockett,
should recognize me...
:09:06
'cause five years ago
in the Texas League...
:09:09
you were pitching for El Paso,
l was hitting cleanup for Shreveport.
:09:12
You hung a curveball
on an 0-2 pitch in a 3-2 game...
:09:16
in the bottom of the eighth,
and l tattooed it...
:09:20
over the Michelin Tire sign,
beat you 4-3.
:09:22
l remember. l should have
thrown a slider.
:09:24
Damn, Crash, how ya doin?
:09:26
l'm too old for this shit.
:09:29
Why in the hell
am l back in A ball?
:09:31
'Cause of Ebby Calvin LaLoosh.
:09:35
Big club's got
a hundred grand in him.
:09:36
He's got a million-dollar arm
with a five-cent head.
:09:40
Had a gun on him tonight.
:09:42
Last five pitches he threw
were faster than the first five.
:09:45
He's got the best young arm
l've seen in 30 years.
:09:48
You've been around.
:09:50
You're smart.
You're a professional.
:09:53
We want you to mature the kid.
:09:55
We want you to room with him
on the road.
:09:58
Stay on his case all year.
He can go all the way.
:10:02
Yeah? Where can l go?
:10:05
You can keep going
to the ballpark...
:10:07
keep getting paid to do it.
:10:09
Beats the hell out of
working at Sears.
:10:11
Sears sucks. l once worked there.
Sold Lady Kenmores.
:10:15
Nasty work.
:10:18
Even if it is
the Carolina League...
:10:20
this is a chance
to play every day.
:10:22
You don't want a player.
You want a stable pony.
:10:24
No.
:10:25
My triple A contract
gets bought out...
:10:27
so l can hold the flavor
of the month's dick.
:10:29
ls that it?
Fuck this fucking game!
:10:41
l fuckin' quit, all right?
