Episode 905: The Losing Edge
If the boys can lose just one baseball game, it gets them out of playing the boring sport for the entire summer.
Episode 905 Press Release
A winning season and overzealous parents threaten to ruin the entire summer, when the boys of South Park head to the State Championship in an all new episode of South Park entitled “The Losing Edge,” premiering Wednesday, April 6 at 10:00 p.m. on Comedy Central.
The kids desperately want an end to the boring baseball season. The problem is they’ve won so many games that now they’re in the playoffs. Just one loss would mean the season’s finished and they’d be free from America’s favorite pastime for the entire summer.

I take it Cartman is the catcher, why is the fat kid always the catcher?
Is Jimmy going to go back on the 'roids? Someone will be taking them.
Oh, no......I don't even know who that kid is.....
====why is the fat kid always the catcher?===
It's the FATTEST kid....he doubles as a backstop.
Thanks for the ping!
Easy...they are usually slower...not much area to cover...And they block the plate well.
Thanks for the info...
Hopefully this episode will be better than last weeks.
I'm usually a fan of the show but I had to turn off last weeks half way through.
I wonder if Cartman will be taking Steroids? Beefcake!!!
Kyles cousin is back! Yesssss! Will he sleep in the same bed and start smacking his lips?
Engelberg!
Last week's episode was a classic. The best of the season and the timing of it made it, in my opinion, the best episode of all time.
After struggling with the idea of that adulterous husband pulling his wife's feeding tube, Kyle made perfect sense: Cartman is right for the wrong reason, were wrong for the right reason. Amen.
Does anyone know why Team America, the movie produced by SP is not available on DVD yet?
People are funny. IMHO, it doesn't ~get~ better than last weeks show. I've watched it again and again. It's spot on. Try it again.
Amazon.com: DVD: Team America - World Police (Special Collector's Widescreen Edition) (2004)
Is Kenny back from the dead to play or did he really die last week? I just hate it when Kenny dies.
I agree with you on last week's show.... It's right up there with the all-time best.
Strange that they waited so long. Must've cost them MILLIONS with the delay.
It was scheduled for March and then got delayed... but they probably don't know what to do with the money they've got. ;~D
The scheduled release date for "Team America: World Police" is May 17. This is subject to change, of course.
I wasn't the fattest kid, but I learned how to play catcher in 7th grade. Trust me, I know how to block the plate. A couple of frat alums learned that the hard way during our annual active/alum softball game. BTW: I played football in HS too, was an OT... ;^)
They keep delaying it...I hope becasue they are adding tons of extra content. It is due out next month.

I didn’t find it very funny.
I wasn’t offended by it or anything, and largely agreed with the point, but it didn’t make me laugh out loud that much (though Garrison as the woman arrested trying to bring her water was hysterical.)
The Jennifer Lopez one was probably the one that made me laugh the most. It was sick on so many levels. And Lemiwinks. And the Death Camp of Tolerance. And The Rainforest Sucks. Last week’s just didn’t match up with the classics.
Others have said why, but it is especially cruel, considering that playing catcher is bad for the knees, which is a chronic issue for the overweight in the first place...
BEEFCAKE!!!!
People are funny ;~D
I always wondered about the fat kid=catcher thing. My son plays catcher and is skinny as a rail. He just loves getting the ball all the time and having people run into him (he really likes wrestling and football also, he's pure rough and tumble). I think a strong arm and the right mental approach are whats needed. To quote my son when his coach tried to make him a shortstop "but middle infielders are wussies"
Have you ordered yours yet? :)
I'm not sure if hubby actually ordered it or not, but we've been looking forward to it!
Cartman: I'm not fat, I'm big-boned.
Stan: No, Jay Leno's chin is big-boned. You are a big fat ass.
Cartman: You guys, you know what? My grandma was Dutch-Irish, and my grandpa was lesbian, that makes me quarter-lesbian.
Stan: You're just saying that Cartman.
Kyle: Yeh, you're not a lesbian fatass.
Cartman: I am too.
Stan: What the hell are you doing Cartman?
Cartman: My mom said if you want to become a lesbian, you have to lick carpet.
Stan: Really?
Cartman: This is a bunch of crap! I've been licking this carpet for three hours, and I still don't feel like a lesbian.
Stan: I can't wait for Ms. Ellen to see what a raging lesbian I am.
Cartman: I'm a bigger lesbian than you.
Stan: No, you're a fatter lesbian than me.
Kyle: Screw you guys, I'm king lesbian.
I cancelled our cable account after last weeks show!
Actually, I was going to do it anyway, but this sounds more dramatic. If anything, I was keeping cable JUST for South Park. *sigh*
Well, I can't respect you for that! ;~D
Well, if your a Mets fan, the GAY guy has usually been the catcher, at least for the past few years.
I can't help but burst out laughing about the song "Taco Flavored Kisses." Whoever did the voice of J-Ho got the ghettorican attitude down pat.
find later
Eric Cartman: [Cartman and friends are pretending to be Lord of the Rings characters; they walk by a group of kids playing in a yard] Yes we shall slay the ringworm, for that is the way of the. .
Town Kid: I shall put a magic spell on you!
Town Kid 2: I have blocked your spell wizard!
Kyle Brovslofksi: What are you guys doing?
Town Kid: We're playing Harry Potter!
Eric Cartman: HAAA! FAGS!
For me, it's always been the Nambla episode, Janet Reno as the Easter Bunny, The AFT/2 guys in a hot tub (Charlies Angels) episode, Cartman gets an alien anal probe, the Thanksgiving Turkey revolt, but my #1 (so far) is Scott Tenneman Must Die! It's just wrong on so many levels, and every time you say, "Oh, I can't believe they did that... It can't get any worse," you're proven wrong!
Mark
Oh, and I really like "Jew Scouts" too.
Cartman: Mom!!!! Kitty's being a dildo!
Cartman's Mom: Well I know one kitty kitty who's sleeping with mommy tonight!
Cartman: Huh?
Mark
I like the Simpson's Did It/Seapeople Episode. And Scott Tennerman Must Die! is also a classic. Made you eat your parents. Made you eat your parents.
"I just had to close my eyes and suck it out of a hose."
I remember back in the late 60s, the Atlanta Braves had a slightly pudgy catcher we'd call "Chicken Catcher Torre".
Wonder whatever happened to him?
I think he does American Express commercials now.
Like the guy that got famous writing "Ren & Stimpy" they get a lot of money, new friends and lots of good, and suddenly the cartoon isn't as important.
How about the recent Woodland Creatures Christmas??!!
