Quotes:

[first lines]
Harry Doyle: Hello everybody. Harry Doyle here, welcoming all you Wahoo maniacs to the year's first session of Tribe Talk. As you know, the Indians had a Cinderella season last year. Despite the fact that *toxic* owner Rachel Phelps wanted the team to lose so she could move it to Florida, the Indians won the American League East for the first time since divisional play began. Rachel's gone now, thank God, having sold the team to retired Indian third baseman Roger Dorn, after a long, hard fought series of negotiations.
[flashback to negotiations]
Roger Dorn: Mmmight be willing to go as high as a hundred.
Rachel Phelps: 120.
Roger Dorn: 120? Rachel, you just started at 110!
Rachel Phelps: 130!
Roger Dorn: Rachel, this isn't fair!
Rachel Phelps: 140!
Roger Dorn: [desperately begging] 130!

Terrible - part I done again and done wrong.

I can't explain how anyone could get the idea that a near identical retelling of "Major League" Part I got actually be a success with any audience at all.

I mean, the wisecracks and the sitcom in Part I worked - but you can't make a movie by just repeating them!!!

The few new elements were quite lame, and what totally destroyed it was the terrible German dubbing job.

So this a definite no no. Stay away from it!!! Watch part I and be happy!
