:20:00
Today, the A's square off
against the Wareham Gatemen.
:20:04
What a beautiful day for baseball.
:20:06
A perfect start
to the Cape League's 115th season.
:20:10
On the mound today,
is the much touted Eric Van Leemer.
:20:14
A hard throwing right-hander
from Wichita State.
:20:20
Strike three called.
The A's new mascot likes what she sees.
:20:26
Damn. He throws hard.
:20:29
Yeah, Van Leemer is an All-American.
:20:32
The Dodgers offered him $2,000,000.
:20:36
Yeah, I heard.
:20:37
Ryan. God, I'm sorry.
:20:40
Didn't recognize you without your ass
hanging out of your banana hammock....
:20:50
Swing and a miss,
and the Gatemen go down in order.
:20:52
And so far,
Van Leemer appears as advertised.
:20:59
-What's up?
-Scout, 3:00.
:21:04
Quit drooling. July 4
they'll be a dozen of them at every game.
:21:08
Well, I'm sorry, Dodger Blue.
:21:10
The A's are looking for more here
in the sixth, as Billy Brubaker stands in.
:21:15
Fast hands, now.
:21:16
Brubaker is struggling with wooden bats,
as are so many Cape League hitters.
:21:22
Swing and a miss. Strike three.
Brubaker's second strikeout of the day.
:21:28
Wood bats suck.
:21:30
Why do you think God invented aluminum?
Goddamn it!
:21:35
We'll get you a titanium bat, Brubaker.
:21:38
Ryan Dunne!
:21:43
Yes, sir.
:21:45
-How are you feeling?
-Good, strong, ready.
:21:48
Good.
:21:50
I need you to go up in the stands
and pass the hat.
:21:54
Yes, sir.
:21:59
Give them hell, Ry.
