Leela at-bat eyeeyecaptain September 14 2009, 02:22:28 UTC

All right, time to step up and show them how it's done.

Leela makes a show of swinging her bat a time or two before stepping into the box, tapping the dirt from her cleats and fixing Arnold with the long, hard glaaaaare you have to have if you want to play ball. I mean, really.

"All right, kid! Do your worst!" she crows.

Re: Leela at-bat heyfootballhead September 14 2009, 02:26:21 UTC

Leela thinks she's got a hard stare, but she's never met Helga.

Arnold counterattacks (so to speak) with a smug-tastic grin.

"With pleasure, lady!" And the first pitch comes smoking down the line!

Re: Leela at-bat eyeeyecaptain September 14 2009, 02:34:34 UTC

"Hiiiiiiii-YAH!"

Swing and a miss! Oh, that one stings.

There's a growl -- no, really, a growl -- from home base as Leela steels herself for the next pitch.

"Lucky throw!"

Re: Leela at-bat heyfootballhead September 14 2009, 02:38:33 UTC

"Luck's got nothing to do with it!" Arnold calls triumphantly.

Here comes pitch number two, same as the first!

Re: Leela at-bat eyeeyecaptain September 14 2009, 03:08:12 UTC

"Hiiiiiiiii-YAAAAH!"

And, again, there's a WHOOSH and a "STRIKE TWO!"

Leela's eye narrows into a menacing slit, because, really, she's not going to get struck out by a kid! Not when she has her reputation with the New New York Mets to think about!

...Seeing as how that's bad enough as it is.

"Oh yeah? Well... You're pretty confident for someone who still has a BEDTIME!"

YEAH, TAKE THAT.

Re: Leela at-bat heyfootballhead September 14 2009, 03:22:41 UTC

Leela has spirit. Arnold appreciates that.

"At least I can actually hit a baseball," he sends back. OH WHAT NOW, LEELA.

...Actually, the third pitch is what's now. Ready or not!

Re: Leela at-bat eyeeyecaptain September 14 2009, 03:46:08 UTC

Oh, Arnold has no idea just how much spirit. It gets exhausting after a while.

She grits her teeth at the comeback, hands tightening around her baseball bat.

Easy, Leela, easy. Remember what Hank Aaron told you. Keep your eye OFF the ball!

All right, this is it. A swing... a CRACK... a poorly timed flight of birds... a ferocious flapping and squawking noise... yeeeaaah. Leela winces.

"Sorry!" she cries, before taking off for a base.

Re: Leela at-bat ostro_goth September 17 2009, 21:56:07 UTC

The ball keeps flying, sailing high over the field towards the right outfield, where Teja is in his position, alert, moving.

He runs towards the ball, lunging to catch it.

Re: Leela at-bat eyeeyecaptain September 17 2009, 21:59:24 UTC

Oh my gosh, can it be? She's going to make it past first base?!

She can't help but yell "YIPPEE!" as she rounds and continues for second.

Re: Leela at-bat ostro_goth September 17 2009, 22:07:39 UTC

Teja catches the ball, catches his balance, then starts charging towards the bases with the ball, looking for a team-mate to throw the ball to, who might catch the running, purple-haired woman.

Why are the women so good at this?

Re: Leela at-bat gotham_knocking September 17 2009, 22:16:16 UTC

Knox chugs towards second. Why is he doing this? They have a second baseball. But Teja seems really lost. "Hey, Teja, over here?" He hopes his teammates don't mind him doing this.

Re: Leela at-bat ostro_goth September 17 2009, 22:22:47 UTC

After having suffered strike-out from a woman at his first at-bat, Teja is indeed a bit lost.-

He throws the ball to Knox, so he may tag this woman out, at least.

Re: Leela at-bat gotham_knocking September 17 2009, 22:25:36 UTC

Not such luck. Knox is a few steps behind. And a little spooked by the one-eyed woman.

Re: Leela at-bat eyeeyecaptain September 17 2009, 22:33:50 UTC

"AAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!"

It's not exactly a ferocious battle cry, but when you have two men charging you down, what can you expect?

Leela flies through the air as she takes a leap for second, and....

SAFE!

"YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Officially not the worst baseball player of all time!

(Nobody pay attention to the dancing cyclopean mutant on second base.)

Re: Leela at-bat ways_diamond September 19 2009, 21:44:26 UTC

With the potential tying run holding on second, the potential go ahead run (in the form of left fielder Raphael) steps up to the plate.
