Top of the Eighth

[ways_diamond]

It's the top of the eighth -- the Engimas take the field and Paradoxes come to bat.

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.

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]

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?

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]

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]

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

"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]

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.

"More than you can handle, mister!" says Arnold, who is having far too much fun pitching against a bunch of grown-ups.

He winds up for the first pitch, very professional-like, and lets loose a smokin' fastball.

Re: Raph at bat.

[heyfootballhead]

"Thanks, mister."

He'll take a moment to be smugly pleased before winding up for the second pitch. It's a curveball, lovely in its mind-bendy-ness.

Re: Raph at bat.

[heyfootballhead]

Arnold chuckles. "In case you forgot, mister, you missed the straight one too."

Mwahahaha.
