Yep, Joe, you got your finger on Mr. Burnett’s key, and I sure hope he was listening. If he’s quit trying to make everybody swing and miss, and let them to beat it into the ground, his games would roll!

Joba: I want to throw another slider here.
Posada: No, you just threw one.
Joba: Yeah, and it was freakin’ bad-ass. It made him look like Jason Varitek. I can strike him out.
Posada: Fastball.
Joba: Damn you, Jorge, I know what I’m doing. Slider.
Posada: Fastball.
Joba: Slider, George.
Posada: Shut up, you punk snot nosed kid. I’ve been in this business 15 years.
Joba: What’s your name?
Posada: F&$% YOU, THAT’S MY NAME. You know why? Cause’ you drove a Hyundai a few years ago, I drove an $80,000 BMW. That’s my name. If I say you’re going to throw the fastball here, you’re going to throw the fastball here.
Joba: My slider is really good. I can get this guy out with my slider. I got lots and lots of guys out with my slider. It’s my out pitch. This is prime out pitch time.
Posada: Trust me, I know what I’m doing here, Justin.
Joba: Do you also know what you’re doing when you piss on your hands, grandpa?
Posada: Shutup, you flat-brimmed-cap-wearing uppity brat. You belong in the damn bullpen anyway; it’s your body type. I can run this team better than Cashman.
Joba: You really want the fastball, huh old man?
Posada: Yes.
Joba: He knows it’s coming. And he knows my fastball has been crappy all year.
Posada: Throw it.

(Joba throws a fastball, which is promptly deposited into the 8th row)

Joba: You stupid motherf#$%er.
Posada: You stupid motherf#$%er.

… aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, SCENE!
