== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! A little email never hurt nobody. 'Cept for maybe The Cheat. So what do we got here...

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
I was wondering what CGNU's mascot 
is, and if they have any sports teams. 
Thanks for the info. 
 
Ike</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah, we got a mascot, Ike. Unfortunately, The Cheat, Strong Mad, and I were ''really'' hungry when we decided on a name. So, uh, all we came up with was the Crazy Go Nuts University Dumples. I think maybe we meant dumplings? But we were really hungry and tired and sorta confused and ended up putting Dumples on the application. We do have a sports team, though. The Golf Club Team. We have a game every day at 6pm!

''{cut to a shot of the scoreboard on the athletic field, reading:}

<blockquote>
<div style="float:left; text-align:center; background:black; color:yellow; padding:1em; font-family:monospace">

</div>
</blockquote>
{{clear}}

''{Cut to The Cheat holding a golf club in a ring facing a pile of old electronics, with Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and Coach Z cheering him on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's go, Dumples!

'''STRONG MAD:''' DE-FENSE!

'''COACH Z:''' Get yer head in the game, The Chort! The Cheat is wide open!

''{The Cheat starts bashing all the electronics.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah!

'''COACH Z:''' Atta boy!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Go for the 8-track!

''{The Cheat smashes the 8-track and the scoreboard gives CGNU one point with a buzzing noise}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Dumples win!

''{everyone cheers}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look everybody! It's The Jolly Dumple come to celebrate our victory!

''{Cut to Homestar in the Dumple costume. It looks like a ravioli with a tri-corner hat, a mouth, a big tongue with a drop of drool on a spring, and two huge hands giving thumbs-ups. As the Dumple dances, the fight song starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' 
Fighting and sometimes striving 
Wondering what the Dumple is 
Excellence and what is valor? 
And The Cheat will hit stuff with a golf club ''{The Cheat shows up holding cue cards that read "see", "gee", "in", and then "you", as Strong Bad chants:}'' 
C G N... U! 
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Me?

''{Cut back to the Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, we're still undefeated. But next week's going to be a tough game against Homestar's Knees Tech. Well, I gots to go. I promised the team I'd get them real fruit smoothies if they won the game. And they won the game. So I'm getting them real fruit smoothies.

''{He types in 'run "fightsong"' and walks off. Compy starts playing the song, showing the letter name of each note. Once it's done, it says "GO DUMPLES!!!" and [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Really hungry and tired.PNG|thumb|Really hungry and tired.]]
*You can click on "really hungry and tired" to see a "LEM" ([[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]]) styled cartoon of Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat being really hungry and tired.
*You can also click on "application" to see their mascot application:
<blockquote>College Mascot Application 
 
College Name: crazy go nuts university 
 
Mascot Name: DUMPLES!!! 
 
Dean of Students: myself 
 
Essay on why you think this is a good mascot: 
i want some food. 
 
Drawing of Mascot: 
you know, a dumple. like for dinner 
(There is a picture of a fork with a "dumple" on it)</blockquote>
*At the very end after the fight song plays, rolling over the notes plays them.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
[[Image:golf club team.png|thumb|"Go for the 8-track!"]]
*The Pile of Electronics State team has a TV (later seen in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig#Inside References|Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]), [[Mrs. Bennedetto]] ([[Marzipan]]'s microwave), a [[Wikipedia:Panasonic|Panasonic]] RQ-830S [[8-Track]] player (also referred to as "The Plunger" or "TNT" style), and a [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|Nintendo Entertainment System]].
*References to [[wikipedia:valor|valor]] are common in the lyrics of college [[wikipedia:fight song|fight songs]] and [[Wikipedia:Alma mater|alma maters]]. Valor is [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=valor defined] as the strength of mind or spirit that enables a person to encounter danger with firmness.
*A high school band performed the CGNU Fight Song as a [[Quote of the Week]] on February 9, 2006.

===Remarks===
*Although The Cheat never hits the NES, it still breaks as though it were hit. The way he broke the glass on Mrs. Bennedetto wouldn't crush an NES.
*This is the first time we hear Coach Z say ''The Cheat'' correctly. However, he may not be referring to The Cheat himself.
*The notes given for the fight song are:
*:C A F G F D A# G G G F E F G C A F G F D A# G G G F E F
*The notes for the fight song do not work correctly if you try to simply press Tab through them, because the tab order is not pre-set.

===Goofs===
*Proper musical notation practice would dictate that "A#" (A-sharp) be written as "Bb" (B-flat), since the song is in the [[Wikipedia:Major scale|key]] of F Major, which has one flat and no sharps.
*In both phrases of the digital fight song, the "A#" is rushed, being held for two-thirds of its duration as compared to the sung version. This violates the 4/4 [[Wikipedia:Time signature|time signature]] implied in the earlier version.

===Glitches===
*The "application" Easter egg is accessible when the "really hungry and tired" Easter egg is (before Strong Bad actually types "application").

===Inside References===
*The "really hungry and tired" Easter egg looks very similar to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat's position at the beginning of [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]].

===Real World References===
There is an nes under the microwave when the cheat is destroying stuff with his golf club.

===Fast Forward===
* Homestar later tried to make himself a real fruit smoothie using Strong Bad's [[Blender#Game Boy in a Blender|alternate universe portal]] in [[alternate universe]], with chaotic results.
* "Homestar's Knees Tech" is a pennant on the wall during the "CGNU Online E-niversity" commercial, in the Strong Bad Email [[theme song]].
* Homestar later builds a fire inside the Dumples costume in [[4 branches]].

'''Page Title:''' A Kick-a-ball jam named Saturdays

==Transcript==
''{A kickball juts forward on a musical sting, while "Kick-a Ball!" appears around it. The ball zooms in and its blue texture forms the background. The letters in "The Captains!" fall into place. A red bar with Homestar's face and a green bar with Strong Bad's face appear above and below that, respectively. That disappears and "The Draft!" falls into place. The ball zooms out quickly and lands between Strong Bad and Homestar, standing near the Umpire and a number of other characters.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' All right, gentlemen, dukes up! It's one-potato-two-potato see who gets first pick!

''{Strong Bad leans forward menacingly, holding both arms forward.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{growls}''

''{Homestar leans forward too.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as though growling}'' Hmmmm!

''{Crickets chirp for a few moments as nothing happens. The Umpire looks between both characters, particularly where Homestar's hands would be.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummmmm...

'''THE UMPIRE:''' Ah, right! Sorry! ''{produces a Trogdor-themed coin}'' Coin toss to see who gets first pick!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait! Why? I love 'tatoes!

'''THE UMPIRE:''' Call it in the air!

''{Strong Bad tosses the coin.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh... Sonic. I mean tails!

''{The coin lands tails-up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! Yes! Pom Pom, you have been and always will be my dog, but today, I gotta play the strategy card. I'm goin' with Pom Pom.

''{Pom Pom cocks an eyebrow in confusion.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

''{He shrugs and bounces toward Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, get your spotted yellow hinder over here!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{excited The Cheat noise, walks toward Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' YOU CUT ME DEEP! ''{frowns sadly and sobs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let's see, let's see. Who's good in the field? Ooh! I'll take Pom Pom! Surprised he hasn't been snatched up yet!

''{Pom Pom lowers his eyes, annoyed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, but you just—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{stepping toward Strong Bad}'' Ah, ah, ah! Too late! I called 'im! You'll just have to be quicker next time!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rolling his head around}'' Ooooooooooooooooooooo... kay. I got Bubs!

''{Bubs walks toward Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' WHAT THE CRAP?!

'''POM POM:''' ''{quiet bubbles, leaning toward Homestar's ears}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{whispering}'' Yeah, yeah, good call, he's got a great arm. ''{loudly}'' We'll take Pom Pom!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What a surprise. All right, Graw Mad, get over here.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{singing}'' YOU ARE FORGIVEN!

''{Pom Pom looks on in exasperation as Homestar considers.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, this one's a toughie. But, we gotta go with Pom Pom.

''{Pom Pom lowers his head.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This keeps teetering between hilarious and maybe-we-should-put-him-in-a-home.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...And what wouldn't be hilarious about that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, Poopsmith!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leaning out from behind Pom Pom}'' Pom Pom! Let's do this!

''{The remaining four characters are shown in profile.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Coach Z!

''{Coach Z disappears.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'll go with Pom Pom.

'''STRONG BAD:''' K.O.T., you're with me.

''{The King of Town disappears.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pooooooom!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly, to the side, and disgustedly}'' Marzipan...

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm sorry, what was that?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{smiling}'' Oh, I think he picked me! ''{starts to walk forward}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I didn't, I picked Marzipan.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{turns back, in the same cheerful tone as the last line}'' Cool!

''{By this point, Pom Pom is lying on the ground in sheer annoyance.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Bullpen! ''{unintelligible}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, well, well, look who's—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shutup! You play eighth base!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Sounds important!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking at the now-empty space where the characters were previously standing}'' Ouch! Pom Pom! Picked last?! It's okay. You can be on our team.

''{Cut back to show the eleven characters split among the teams.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What perfect teams, huh, guys? Even Stevens!

''{Cut back to the blue texture on the ball. A red bar with Homestar and Pom Pom appears at the top labeled "the even stevens", and a green bar appears at the bottom with everyone else labeled "vs. little stevie & the evens". The Umpire appears in a circle in the corner.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' All right, kickbaaaall!

''{Cut to the playing field. Pom Pom is winding up to pitch the ball. He looks toward the ball.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

''{He throws the ball. It flies through the air in an extremely improbable whirling motion. Strong Bad, at the plate, attempts to kick it...}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oop... RAAAH!

''{... but misses and falls down with a "whiff!"}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' Stee-riiiiike!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, no fair! He was tellin' the ball what to do! It's probably one of his cousins or something!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are you talkin' about little Tim Tom? He's ''way'' better-looking that that!

''{A kickball rolls across the screen to transition to The Cheat at the plate. He attempts to kick the ball, somehow resulting in both him and the ball flying across the field. He lands just next to first base, but then the ball lands on top of him before he can touch it.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' You're oooooouuuut!

''{Coach Z leans in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{angrily}'' I don't know what kinda low-rent, three-bedroom, two-bath, section 8 sport ''you're'' playin' here, ''{suddenly calmly}'' but I'm playing women's lacrosse. ''{He holds up a lacrosse stick.}''

''{Cut back as Coach Z turns to walk away. He's wearing a pink skirt.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{singing}'' Ooo-doo-doo-doo-dooooooo...

''{Marzipan steps up to the plate.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, well, well! Look who it is!

''{Marzipan stamps the ground twice in preparation.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You got nothin', sister! You couldn't kick your way out of lookin' at a thing in a bag! Your momma wears combat boots! ''{he pitches the ball}'' Whoop!

'''MARZIPAN:''' She does not!

''{Marzipan kicks with a thick boot and the ball goes flying. Homestar tries to follow its movement but falls over. The King of Town is now at the plate and the ball rolls up to him. He jumps as the ball goes past.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' ''{appearing in a bubble next to the King of Town}'' Stee-rike three, you're out!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{sadly}'' Guess I'll go on back to the dugout.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... that's not what happens when you strike out in kickball.

''{The King of Town is then seen being loaded into a catapult.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I never got my sunflower ''{he's fired from the catapult}'' seeeeeeeeeeeeds!

''{The scoreboard behind him flashes "yer out!" Strong Mad is seen kicking the ball, and it flies over Pom Pom's head, travels around the world, flies over the head of a Pom with identical coloring to the kickball, continues its path, and strikes Strong Mad in the back of the head.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' ''{again appearing in a bubble}'' You're oooooouuuuut!

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{sadly}'' Awwwwww...

''{Following this is a montage where Bubs catches the ball, Homestar kicks the ball, The Poopsmith throws the ball at Pom Pom, and Strong Sad (standing next to a white 8-shaped "base" on the ground) pats his belly, all four making kickball sounds in time with the music. Cut to The Announcer in a booth nearby.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' It all comes down to this! Two outs! Bottom of the ninth! Down by two!

''{Cut to a shot of the scoreboard for a moment showing this. "Home" or "HS" has 127 runs, and "Visitor" or "SB" has 125.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Strong Bad has a chance to win it, right here, right now! It doesn't get more exciting than this!

''{Cut to Onion Bubs sitting next to the BooOOM Box.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{through the radio}'' I have no idea who I'm broadcasting to!

''{Cut to Homestar, holding the ball. The Cheat can be seen on base behind him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Two outs, bottom of the ninth, down by two. Strong Bad has a chance to win it, right here, right now. It doesn't g—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{yelling}'' JUST PITCH THE FREAKIN' BALL!!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Comin' up!

''{He throws the ball. It rolls toward Strong Bad...}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hyaaaah!

''{...and he kicks it! It flies high and far. Strong Mad can be seen on third base, as well as The Cheat on second. Cut to Strong Sad, still standing by "eighth base".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's ''four'' different types of grass I've identified now!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Sad! Why don't you recite your favorite Cartier Bodélé couplet?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, you mean... ''{He holds out his arms and closes his eyes as he recites.}'' The beige malaise can last for—

''{The kickball lands in Strong Sad's arms. He grabs it, surprised.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oooh!

''{Strong Bad is about to cross home plate, but...}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' You're ooooouuuut! That's the ball game!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the crap?! B-but he's on ''my'' team!

''{Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Au the contrary, Strong Bad. If you'll watch the official tape of the draft, you'll see that Strong Sad is on ''my'' team!

''{Cut to the "REPLAYTRON", replaying the scene where Pom Pom was lying on the ground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Bullpen! ''{unintelligible}''

''{The scene rewinds.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Bullpen! ''{The tape slows down immensely. In a low, slow voice, out of the corner of his mouth:}'' And Strong Sad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, but that's cheating! You cheated! For once, ''you'' cheated, and ''I'' win!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' On the contraire, Strong Bad. If you'll review the official rule book,

''{He produces said book and looks into it. The page reads:

<blockquote>
Official Kick-a Ball Rules 
 
Rule 1. Same rules as 
kickball, except with 
"-a" added. 
AND double side-mouth whisper 
drafts are totally legal! 
signed, the commmish 
(not strong bad) 
Rule 2. Striking out results 
in vehement catapultery.
</blockquote>

''{The parts in blue are in Strong Bad's handwriting, and a small picture of a fire-breathing Strong Bad is drawn in the same color next to this.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You'll see that double side-mouth whisper drafts have been quite legal since 1989!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, the ding and the dang! ''{He turns around to look at The Cheat, standing behind him.}'' The Cheat! I told you to check our Cheaters' Almanac to make sure we didn't step on any of our own Cheat-toes!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noises, holds up a bag of "CHEAT-TOES".}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' All right, everybody! Line up!

''{Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad stand still, with Homestar inexplicably sad, while Strong Bad, Coach Z, The Cheat, Bubs, Strong Mad, and Marzipan all walk past sadly in turn. Strong Bad's team takes a single step forward one at a time as each visible character says the following simultaneously on each step:}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER and STRONG SAD:''' Good game... ''(etc.)'' 
'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbling noises}'' 
'''STRONG BAD, COACH Z, BUBS, STRONG MAD, and MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, right... ''(etc.)'' 
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}

''{As they continue forward, The King of Town flies by in the background.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Yeah riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!!

''{Cut to a final screen reading "end." The circles inside the E and D, and the period, are all kickballs. "back" is written in the corner.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the period after "end" (a kickball) to see a scene in the announcer's booth.
:'''THE UMPIRE:''' Honest to God, Mookie Blaylock gave this kickball my aunt, 1984.
:'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' I simply cannot express how impressive that kickball is!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*When arguing with the umpire, Coach Z refers to "low rent, three bedroom, two bath, Section 8" sport. [[Wikipedia:Section 8 (housing)|Section 8]] is a federal voucher-subsidized housing program in the United States. Rental housing occupied by Section 8 participants is indeed generally low rent.

===Trivia===
*This is the first appearance of the Umpire since [[Where My Hat Is At?]], and his first animated appearance. He was previously scheduled to appear in a 2006 [[Strong Bad Email]] (according to the DVD commentary), but the Brothers Chaps forgot.
*The theme song for this toon is a remixed version of the theme used in [[Weclome Back]].
*This has been the quickest release date between two big toons, as [[Career Day]] was put up on the website exactly a week before this toon.

===Remarks===
*Although the Umpire told everyone to line up, The Poopsmith was inexplicably absent in the final scene.

===Goofs===
*At some points strong bad's eye is smaller then the other again.

===Inside References===
*[[Trogdor]]'s face and tail can be seen on the coin.

'''Running Time:''' 5:24

'''Page Title:''' A Kick-a-ball jam named Saturdays

==Transcript==
''{A kickball juts forward on a musical sting, while "Kick-a Ball!" appears around it. The ball zooms in and its blue texture forms the background. The letters in "The Captains!" fall into place. A red bar with Homestar's face and a green bar with Strong Bad's face appear above and below that, respectively. That disappears and "The Draft!" falls into place. The ball zooms out quickly and lands between Strong Bad and Homestar, standing near the Umpire and a number of other characters.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' All right, gentlemen, dukes up! It's one-potato-two-potato see who gets first pick!

''{Strong Bad leans forward menacingly, holding both arms forward.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{growls}''

''{Homestar leans forward too.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as though growling}'' Hmmmm!

''{Crickets chirp for a few moments as nothing happens. The Umpire looks between both characters, particularly where Homestar's hands would be.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummmmm...

'''THE UMPIRE:''' Ah, right! Sorry! ''{produces a Trogdor-themed coin}'' Coin toss to see who gets first pick!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait! Why? I love 'tatoes!

'''THE UMPIRE:''' Call it in the air!

''{Strong Bad tosses the coin.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh... Sonic. I mean tails!

''{The coin lands tails-up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! Yes! Pom Pom, you have been and always will be my dog, but today, I gotta play the strategy card. I'm goin' with Pom Pom.

''{Pom Pom cocks an eyebrow in confusion.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

''{He shrugs and bounces toward Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, get your spotted yellow hinder over here!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{excited The Cheat noise, walks toward Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' YOU CUT ME DEEP! ''{frowns sadly and sobs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let's see, let's see. Who's good in the field? Ooh! I'll take Pom Pom! Surprised he hasn't been snatched up yet!

''{Pom Pom lowers his eyes, annoyed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, but you just—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{stepping toward Strong Bad}'' Ah, ah, ah! Too late! I called 'im! You'll just have to be quicker next time!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rolling his head around}'' Ooooooooooooooooooooo... kay. I got Bubs!

''{Bubs walks toward Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' WHAT THE CRAP?!

'''POM POM:''' ''{quiet bubbles, leaning toward Homestar's ears}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{whispering}'' Yeah, yeah, good call, he's got a great arm. ''{loudly}'' We'll take Pom Pom!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What a surprise. All right, Graw Mad, get over here.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{singing}'' YOU ARE FORGIVEN!

''{Pom Pom looks on in exasperation as Homestar considers.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, this one's a toughie. But, we gotta go with Pom Pom.

''{Pom Pom lowers his head.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This keeps teetering between hilarious and maybe-we-should-put-him-in-a-home.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...And what wouldn't be hilarious about that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, Poopsmith!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leaning out from behind Pom Pom}'' Pom Pom! Let's do this!

''{The remaining four characters are shown in profile.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Coach Z!

''{Coach Z disappears.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'll go with Pom Pom.

'''STRONG BAD:''' K.O.T., you're with me.

''{The King of Town disappears.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pooooooom!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly, to the side, and disgustedly}'' Marzipan...

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm sorry, what was that?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{smiling}'' Oh, I think he picked me! ''{starts to walk forward}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I didn't, I picked Marzipan.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{turns back, in the same cheerful tone as the last line}'' Cool!

''{By this point, Pom Pom is lying on the ground in sheer annoyance.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Bullpen! ''{unintelligible}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, well, well, look who's—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shutup! You play eighth base!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Sounds important!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking at the now-empty space where the characters were previously standing}'' Ouch! Pom Pom! Picked last?! It's okay. You can be on our team.

''{Cut back to show the eleven characters split among the teams.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What perfect teams, huh, guys? Even Stevens!

''{Cut back to the blue texture on the ball. A red bar with Homestar and Pom Pom appears at the top labeled "the even stevens", and a green bar appears at the bottom with everyone else labeled "vs. little stevie & the evens". The Umpire appears in a circle in the corner.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' All right, kickbaaaall!

''{Cut to the playing field. Pom Pom is winding up to pitch the ball. He looks toward the ball.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

''{He throws the ball. It flies through the air in an extremely improbable whirling motion. Strong Bad, at the plate, attempts to kick it...}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oop... RAAAH!

''{... but misses and falls down with a "whiff!"}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' Stee-riiiiike!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, no fair! He was tellin' the ball what to do! It's probably one of his cousins or something!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are you talkin' about little Tim Tom? He's ''way'' better-looking that that!

''{A kickball rolls across the screen to transition to The Cheat at the plate. He attempts to kick the ball, somehow resulting in both him and the ball flying across the field. He lands just next to first base, but then the ball lands on top of him before he can touch it.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' You're oooooouuuut!

''{Coach Z leans in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{angrily}'' I don't know what kinda low-rent, three-bedroom, two-bath, section 8 sport ''you're'' playin' here, ''{suddenly calmly}'' but I'm playing women's lacrosse. ''{He holds up a lacrosse stick.}''

''{Cut back as Coach Z turns to walk away. He's wearing a pink skirt.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{singing}'' Ooo-doo-doo-doo-dooooooo...

''{Marzipan steps up to the plate.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, well, well! Look who it is!

''{Marzipan stamps the ground twice in preparation.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You got nothin', sister! You couldn't kick your way out of lookin' at a thing in a bag! Your momma wears combat boots! ''{he pitches the ball}'' Whoop!

'''MARZIPAN:''' She does not!

''{Marzipan kicks with a thick boot and the ball goes flying. Homestar tries to follow its movement but falls over. The King of Town is now at the plate and the ball rolls up to him. He jumps as the ball goes past.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' ''{appearing in a bubble next to the King of Town}'' Stee-rike three, you're out!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{sadly}'' Guess I'll go on back to the dugout.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... that's not what happens when you strike out in kickball.

''{The King of Town is then seen being loaded into a catapult.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I never got my sunflower ''{he's fired from the catapult}'' seeeeeeeeeeeeds!

''{The scoreboard behind him flashes "yer out!" Strong Mad is seen kicking the ball, and it flies over Pom Pom's head, travels around the world, flies over the head of a Pom with identical coloring to the kickball, continues its path, and strikes Strong Mad in the back of the head.}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' ''{again appearing in a bubble}'' You're oooooouuuuut!

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{sadly}'' Awwwwww...

''{Following this is a montage where Bubs catches the ball, Homestar kicks the ball, The Poopsmith throws the ball at Pom Pom, and Strong Sad (standing next to a white 8-shaped "base" on the ground) pats his belly, all four making kickball sounds in time with the music. Cut to The Announcer in a booth nearby.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' It all comes down to this! Two outs! Bottom of the ninth! Down by two!

''{Cut to a shot of the scoreboard for a moment showing this. "Home" or "HS" has 127 runs, and "Visitor" or "SB" has 125.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Strong Bad has a chance to win it, right here, right now! It doesn't get more exciting than this!

''{Cut to Onion Bubs sitting next to the BooOOM Box.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{through the radio}'' I have no idea who I'm broadcasting to!

''{Cut to Homestar, holding the ball. The Cheat can be seen on base behind him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Two outs, bottom of the ninth, down by two. Strong Bad has a chance to win it, right here, right now. It doesn't g—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{yelling}'' JUST PITCH THE FREAKIN' BALL!!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Comin' up!

''{He throws the ball. It rolls toward Strong Bad...}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hyaaaah!

''{...and he kicks it! It flies high and far. Strong Mad can be seen on third base, as well as The Cheat on second. Cut to Strong Sad, still standing by "eighth base".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's ''four'' different types of grass I've identified now!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Sad! Why don't you recite your favorite Cartier Bodélé couplet?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, you mean... ''{He holds out his arms and closes his eyes as he recites.}'' The beige malaise can last for—

''{The kickball lands in Strong Sad's arms. He grabs it, surprised.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oooh!

''{Strong Bad is about to cross home plate, but...}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' You're ooooouuuut! That's the ball game!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the crap?! B-but he's on ''my'' team!

''{Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Au the contrary, Strong Bad. If you'll watch the official tape of the draft, you'll see that Strong Sad is on ''my'' team!

''{Cut to the "REPLAYTRON", replaying the scene where Pom Pom was lying on the ground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Bullpen! ''{unintelligible}''

''{The scene rewinds.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Bullpen! ''{The tape slows down immensely. In a low, slow voice, out of the corner of his mouth:}'' And Strong Sad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, but that's cheating! You cheated! For once, ''you'' cheated, and ''I'' win!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' On the contraire, Strong Bad. If you'll review the official rule book,

''{He produces said book and looks into it. The page reads:

<blockquote>
Official Kick-a Ball Rules 
 
Rule 1. Same rules as 
kickball, except with 
"-a" added. 
AND double side-mouth whisper 
drafts are totally legal! 
signed, the commmish 
(not strong bad) 
Rule 2. Striking out results 
in vehement catapultery.
</blockquote>

''{The parts in blue are in Strong Bad's handwriting, and a small picture of a fire-breathing Strong Bad is drawn in the same color next to this.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You'll see that double side-mouth whisper drafts have been quite legal since 1989!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, the ding and the dang! ''{He turns around to look at The Cheat, standing behind him.}'' The Cheat! I told you to check our Cheaters' Almanac to make sure we didn't step on any of our own Cheat-toes!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noises, holds up a bag of "CHEAT-TOES".}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' All right, everybody! Line up!

''{Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad stand still, with Homestar inexplicably sad, while Strong Bad, Coach Z, The Cheat, Bubs, Strong Mad, and Marzipan all walk past sadly in turn. Strong Bad's team takes a single step forward one at a time as each visible character says the following simultaneously on each step:}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER and STRONG SAD:''' Good game... ''(etc.)'' 
'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbling noises}'' 
'''STRONG BAD, COACH Z, BUBS, STRONG MAD, and MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, right... ''(etc.)'' 
'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}

''{As they continue forward, The King of Town flies by in the background.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Yeah riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!!

''{Cut to a final screen reading "end." The circles inside the E and D, and the period, are all kickballs. "back" is written in the corner.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the period after "end" (a kickball) to see a scene in the announcer's booth.
:'''THE UMPIRE:''' Honest to God, Mookie Blaylock gave this kickball my aunt, 1984.
:'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' I simply cannot express how impressive that kickball is!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*When arguing with the umpire, Coach Z refers to "low rent, three bedroom, two bath, Section 8" sport. [[Wikipedia:Section 8 (housing)|Section 8]] is a federal voucher-subsidized housing program in the United States. Rental housing occupied by Section 8 participants is indeed generally low rent.

===Trivia===
*This is the first appearance of the Umpire since [[Where My Hat Is At?]], and his first animated appearance. He was previously scheduled to appear in a 2006 [[Strong Bad Email]] (according to the DVD commentary), but the Brothers Chaps forgot.
*The theme song for this toon is a remixed version of the theme used in [[Weclome Back]].
*This has been the quickest release date between two big toons, as [[Career Day]] was put up on the website exactly a week before this toon.

===Remarks===
*Although the Umpire told everyone to line up, The Poopsmith was inexplicably absent in the final scene.

===Goofs===
*At some points strong bad's eye is smaller then the other just again.

===Inside References===
*[[Trogdor]]'s face and tail can be seen on the coin.
*In the Easter egg, the Umpire's conversation with the Announcer about Mookie Blaylock and the kickball closely resembles [[the Grape Fairie]]'s conversation with the Announcer about Mookie Wilson and the [[Golbol]], seen in [[Strongest Man in the World]].
*Homestar taunts Marzipan, declaring she couldn't kick her way out of [[Lookin' at a Thing in a Bag]].
*Strong Mad [[Strong Mad Smiling|smiles]] when Strong Bad picks him for the latter's team. Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] again when he learns that Homestar cheated and lost. And Strong Sad [[Strong Sad Smiling|smiles]] in this toon as well.
*Homestar calls Pom Pom [[my dog|his dog]].
*The ball has the exact same design as the one in [[Theme Song Video]].
*Coach Z [[Cross-dressing|cross-dresses]] during the kickball game.
*The Umpire's cancellation of One Potato Two Potato is a reference to Homestar's [[lack of visible arms]].

===Real-World References===
*The page title is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:De La Soul|De La Soul]] song "[[Wikipedia:A Roller Skating Jam Named "Saturdays"|A Roller Skating Jam Named "Saturdays"]]".
*During the coin toss, Homestar calls out "Sonic! I mean, Tails!" This is in reference to the Sega character [[Wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic the Hedgehog]], and his sidekick "[[Wikipedia:Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]]".
*The bag of "Cheat-Toes" that The Cheat pulls out is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Cheetos|Cheetos]].
*The Umpire mentions basketball player [[Wikipedia:Mookie Blaylock|Mookie Blaylock]].
*When Strong Mad yells "YOU ARE FORGIVEN," it is in reference to The Who's [[YouTube:ROQVSPsV2kg|"A Quick One While He's Away"]] of 1966, being a refrain sung in similar rapturous tones towards the end of that song.
