Review of Major League II (1994) by Jake M — 18 Mar 2010

Maybe not equal to the first one, but serves as a great sequel. So many great quotes in this one...

"You want the pitcher to throw from 2nd base?".

"Taylor, it's not your job to make excuses. That's all you guys do good! It's either a leg thing or a spiritual thing, or a psychological thing, or a heart attack!".

"He's still a dick.".

"Well then, Rick, let's get down to it. The real problem here goes back to when you stole that car. You wanted to be caught, didn't you? Punished. Otherwise you wouldn't have thrown the 0 and 2 fastball to Fields when everybody knows he'll chase the 2 strike curveball in the dirt.".

"Cut the crap, Taylor. I don't like you, you don't like me. I just hope you don't blame your bum knees when I take your job.".

"Jake...Cerrano wants to bat.".

"Did he say 'free and queer'?".

"Off a guy who'll be bagging groceries in a couple weeks.".

"You think April is too early for a Roger Dorn night?".

"You oughta listen to the radio more Lou. Your biggest gun just got traded to Chicago...matter of fact, your only gun. Au revoir.".

"Willie...I can't believe you said that. Shit! I talked to a boy in the bleachers the other day who hails from downtown, he told me the most grass he's ever seen in his whole life is the patch we get to play on every day. Now we're in the gal-darn major leagues, boys! I don't know about you, but I've been waiting my whole life to get here, and I'll be damned if I'm gonna act like my best pig just died just because we ain't doing so good.".

"Baker at the plate, he's 0 fer...I dunno. Who cares?".

"But I came up with plan B: got me a little transistor radio with an earplug.".

"What else can you say about these White Sox except, at least, they're not from Canada.".

"Son! You throw that ball down there again, with nobody on, you're gonna make me very unhappy.".

"Welcome to the big leagues, hayseed. Next time don't be standing on the tracks when the train's comin' through.".

"Just because your movie bombed doesn't mean you have to commit suicide.".

"That's Mr. Peckerhead to you, pal!".

"That's not my bat.".

"Look at the scoreboard, Buddha, I'm doin' fine.".

"Way to go, Pedro! Big knock, baby, big knock!".

"You ain't got nobody left, Taylor! You're Old Mother Hubbard, and only Vaughn's in the cubbard!".

"Oh no, not that goddamn song again!".

"And they'll walk Beck to get to Parkman. Obviously, Taylor's thinkin'...I don't know what the hell he's thinkin'!".

"New haircut...same dead arm.".

"I got your timing now, but I bet you don't have enough hair on your ass to throw me another one!".
