[[Two guys are watching a baseball game from the stands.]]
BRUMSWORTH: Sorry I'm late! Did I miss anything interesting?
SPADWICK: It was WILD! Gobbler got TOSSED!
BRUMSWORTH: Frankly, it's amazing that a turkey has successfully played in the major leagues for THIS long.
SPADWICK: Oh, for sure. Dude was DUE for a misstep.

[[We see the moment the umpire ejects a turkey wearing a baseball jersey and ill-fitting cap.]]
SPADWICK: He just couldn't keep it TOGETHER today. UMP had to EJECT him...CROWD was going NUTS...
SPADWICK: Clip is going viral for SURE.
BRUMSWORTH: Guess that's what happens when all you can hit are FOWL BALLS, ha ha!
SPADWICK: That wasn't even IT! He TRYPTOPHAN!
