Plot
Jimmy's determination to captain a winning baseball team leads him to rev up the equipment with Neutronic technology. When the team unexpectedly reaches the World Championship, Jimmy has a crisis of conscience. At the game, Jimmy tells his friends what he did and apologizes. They decide to play fairly and to start believing in themselves, but sadly, they lose without scoring a single point. After deciding to give up baseball, they go see Bonzilla live, where Sheen gets burned to a crisp after insulting the lizard and asks Jimmy what the Japanese word for ambulance is.
