Full List of Episodes

[edit] Episode 20: Sorrow and Hatred

Hamon looks over the weapons M'Quve has sent. They were only given four Magellas and one battered Zaku. She later gets word in her quarters about White Base. It has gone off course and stopped to make repairs, and that, she decides, is the time to strike.

Ryu lies in bed as Fraw and Haro come in to see how he's doing. Ryu tells her to tell others that he's getting along fine, and asks if Bright threw Amuro back into the brig. When she tells him so, he chuckles at the thought that Bright's doing it just to keep him from causing trouble.

Hamon prepares what little weapons she has, and speak to the remaining men. She tells everyone that they must continue with their mission to avenge Garma's death, although she is thinking more about avenging Ramba.

Ryu walks out on the bridge in great pain, wishing to talk to Bright about Amuro. He believes he should be let out, telling Bright that the only reason he's locking Amuro up is to avoid a confrontation. Amuro dreams in the brig, remembering the last time he saw Matilda. He is awaken by a knock at the door, as Ryu sits outside. They speak about Amuro's relationship with Bright, Ryu trying to downplay his condition.

Hamon and the men finally attack from behind, catching the crew by surprise. Sayla and Fraw try to get Ryu back to bed, when Ryu tells her to let Amuro out. Sayla convinces Bright to give him to code, and he is let out. Kai tries to fight off the enemy alone, since the Guntank has lost mobility. Amuro goes out in the core fighter, giving Kai some cover. White Base lifts off, flying over the graves of the Zeon soldiers that attackes previously.

Seeing that the crew is in big trouble, Ryu gets out of bed again, and heads off to help Hayato get the Guntank running. Amuro performs a midair conversion and takes out some of the other forces, but the Zaku escapes him and jumps on White Base, where Amuro can't fire on him. Hamon comes in on a large land vehicle, planning to plow the large, explosive payload into White Base. Hamon detatches from it in one of the Magellas and allows it to continue on it's way. Amuro takes out the others as he tries to stop it, but Hamon comes from behind, prepared to fire on him at point blank range. She opens fire, but Ryu comes in from the side in a core fighter, and smashes into her, killing them both. Amuro manages to take out the large vehicle, and asks Sayla who the pilot of the core fighter was.

The crew stands around the burning remains of both fighters. Everyone blames themselves for Ryu's death and tears flow freely from them all. Bright falls down on his knees, pleading Ryu for forgiveness. Sayla's words finally move everyone to keep going on, and continue fighting the war.

[edit] Episode 21: The Trap of M'Quve

White Base is under attack, and Bright seems to be haviung some trouble, giving orders in a strained voice. Outside, Amuro, with the aid of the Guntank takes out the enemy forces. After the attack is over, Bright's vision grows blurry, and he collapses.

In his base, M'Quve goes over information with one of his soldiers, Judock, and grows angry over the loss of two mining facilities. He tells Judock to tell the Federation General Elron to slow down the Federation's activity in Europe as much as he can.

Amuro is in the hangar, repairing Gundam. When a part turns up missing, he and Hayato head to the bridge to speak with Bright. When they enter, they find that Bright is in the infirmary. Amuro goes there to meet him, where he finds Mirai caring for him. Bright lies in his bed, unconscious.

A group of Zeon soldiers wait for White Base to fly overhead. It finally shows on their radar, and they wait. As their equipment is completely plastic, White Base is unable to detect them, and they easily hop on board with their jetpacks. Mirai comes back into Bright's room, and is told that Bright is suffering from exhaustion. There, they set explosive charges. They jump off and watch as the charged detonate all over the ship. Mirai rushes to the bridge, and is told that the Minovsky Particle generator is broken, although their radar is still intact. The radar reveals a group of enemy ships coming in, and Mirai gives the order to send out Amuro and Hayato in the core fighters.

The two launch, wondering why they were sent out with two ships to fight such a large force. The force of an explosion awakes Bright, and he tries to get up, but is unable. He calls for Ryu to take the Guntank out back. Mirai gives the order for Amuro to pull a midair conversion, while Hayato comes back and converts into the Guncannon. Amuro manages to get into Gundam, and takes out some of the Dopps whie Hayato comes out of White Base in Guncannon. Nearby, M'Quve muses that they have no clue why he let them have their radar. He made sure White Base kept its radar so that they would take the best course of action, which would lead them right into his trap.

A number of Goufs come out to meet Amuro and Hayato, while White Base is left alone to deal with the Dopps. They make it back on board to reload and the ship begins rushing to try to outrun the Dopps. The Dopps begin retreating, when a mega particle cannon pops out of the ground and fired a beam that runs through White Base. The crew tries to put out the fire quickly. Amuro manages to take out the cannon from the ship, but White Base loses altitude and smashes into the ground.

The crew sets off smoke bombs in the ship, with hopes that the enemy will think they're out of comission and hold back rather than go in for the kill. Mirai loses her composure and begins calling out to Bright and Ryu for help. As the Dopps fly away from them, Mirai regains her senses, and orders that a message be sent to General Revil asking for help.


[edit] Episode 22:Matilda's Rescue

The crew works to repair the ship. Mirai checks on Amuro and Hayato, then is called to Bright's room. Bright tells Mirai that he wants her to take command, as she is the only one capable. He gives her notes he'd written on how to function as a commander, and tells her to study them.

General Revil has moved to the Federation's frontline base in Europe, preparing for Operation Odessa. He looks over a map with three officers, General Elrond, First Leiutenant Wright including Matilda. He believes that even one ship attacking from behind M'Quve will throw him off. He puts Matilda and Wright in charge of getting White Base operational as well as supplying them with a prototype weapon for Gundam. They head off in Medeas to carry out their mission.

In his base, M'Quve speaks with Jadock about the meeting. He is angry over the lack of details about the prototype, but Jadock tells him that Elron never got a chance to see it before it was shipped off. M'Quve sends off men to destroy the Medeas.

Mirai recieves a message from General Revil. He tells her that White Base will get their supplies, and must do their best to become a part of Operation Odessa.

The Medea's pick up the enemy on the radar, and Matilda knows full well that a Federation officer has betrayed them. Klink. Amuro rushes into action, after hearing that they're being sent to save Matilda. Everyone launches out to help. One of the Medeas is hit hard, and Matilda goes down lower to try to escape. She watches as Amuro comes in, worried that a core fighter won't be able to do much against Goufs. He holds his ground, but begins to run out of ammo.

Bright calls for Mirai to do repairs from his bed, although she can't hear him. He begins having flashbacks to Ryu's death.

The Zeons realize that the approaching gunperry holds Gundam in it, and so they take their fire away from the Medeas and focus on it. A Gouf comes in for the kill, but Kai takes it out with the Guncannon. Amuro coms around and performs a midair conversion, managing to make it amongst heavy fire.

The Medea with the prototype begins lsoing altitude, and Matilda grounds the whole squadron, saying they can't leave it behind. Amuro goes to help them, but his leg is caught by a Gouf's heat rod. Kai provide's cover as Amuro fights the Gouf, and Matilda manages to get the prototype, the G-fighter, off it's Medea before it explodes.

Amuro breaks free of the Gouf's grasp, and destroys it, but another one comes. The attack has left Gundam with extremely limited mobility, and Amuro is a sitting duck. As the Gouf comes in close, Hayato shows up in the G-fighter. Amuro jumps on it, and is lifted up in the air. Hayato rushes in, and manages to take out the craft the Gouf is sitting atop. As the Gouf falls, Amuro knocks it down and destroys it with his beam saber.

General Revil sends a message to Mirai, congretulating her for making it through the battle.Sayla comforts her, telling her that she did all right. The supplies are moved onto the White Base, and Amuro and Hayato walk inside with Matilda to look at the new modules for Gundam.

[edit] The Return of Major League Baseball Lore

Major League Baseball lore is a collection of famous moments that have occured in American Major League Baseball.

As with any sport, baseball has had it's share of big moments, some of which have reached legendary status and become common knowledge. Everyone knows of Babe Ruth calling his home run, or the race between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa.

The following is a record of the historical moments (both famous and infamous) in baseball history, the monumental events that shall always be known as a part of baseball lore.

[edit] 1920s

Boston Red Sox & New York Yankees
January 3, 1920
One of the biggest moments in baseball history, and a moment that would forever be a part of Red Sox and Yankee lore is the moment known as Frazee's Folly. Today, though, most simply know it as the beginning of the Curse of the Bambino.
In 1920, the Red Sox had won five of the last fifteen world series, and a part of three was the pitcher George Herman "Babe" Ruth. The Yankees, on the other hand, had yet to make it to the series at all in their history. However, things changed when Red Sox GM Harry Frazee basically sold Ruth to the Yankees. The rest, they old saying goes, is history.
The Yankees put Ruth in the outfield, and he began thriving in the hitter-friendly Polo Grounds. He became an amazing home run hitter, to the point that the Giants evicted the Yankees from the Polo Grounds because Ruth and the Yankees were drawing more people tham them. Yankee Stadium was built across the river, nicknamed "The House That Ruth Built". Many still consider Ruth to be the best baseball player of all time.
The Yankees would go on to win over 25 world series. The Red Sox, on the other hand, would go through a drought that held some very crushing blows, and convinced many that Frazee's Folly had cursed the team.

[edit] 1930s

New York Yankees vs. Chicago Cubs (World Series Game 3)
October 1, 1932
In 1932, the Yankees and Cubs met in a heated battle for the world championship. Events earlier in the season had caused conflict between the teams, although the primary target of the Cubs was none other than Yankee outfielder Babe Ruth. The Cubs vocally abused Ruth throughout the series, and after the Yankees won the first two games, the papers managed to turn the entire city of Chicago against him in time for the Yankees' arrival.
In game 3, Ruth hit a three run home run his first time up. The crowd at Wrigley angrily cried out at him as he rounded the bases. When Ruth came up again in the fifth, the game was tied at 4. The stands and the Cubs' dugout were all shouting at him. With the count levelled at two, Ruth raised his arm and pointed, an image forever linked to Ruth, baseball, and sports in general. Ruth hit the next pitch 440 feet to center, the home run in Wrigley history at the time. As Ruth rounded the bases, Ruth made mocking gestures at the now silent Cubs bench.
The Yankees would go on to win 7-5, and a 13-6 victory the next day completed a four game sweep of the world series, the last in Ruth's career.


New York Yankees
July 4, 1939
Many came out to the stadium for a doubleheader against the Washington Senators, but the big event was the celebration of "Lou Gehrig Day". The man they called the Iron Horse had been a powerful force for the Yankees, and he would hold the streak for most consecutive games played would hold until the end of the century. The streak was ended when Gehrig, who had noticed himself becoming considerably weaker as of late, took himself off the team on May 2, feeling himself to be a hinderence. He had a debilitating and terminal desease called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), although it would eventually be known to many as "Lou Gehrig's Desease"
On this day, Gehrig's number 4 became the first number retired by the New York Yankees, and there were dozens that gave Gehrig gifts and great praise, including speeches by New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia and former teammate Babe Ruth.
However, the biggest speech of the day would be the one given by Gehrig himself. Gehrig's opening words would be remembered by sports fans for decades to come. "Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break I got. Yet today, I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth."
Today, the speech stands as a testament to the courage of a dying man. It has also been quoted by many former Yankees, describing their feelings towards the team, and the honor they consider it to be associated with it.

  • The Pine Tar Game
Kansas City Royals vs. New York Yankees
July 24, 1983
The Pine Tar Game is certainly one of the more bizarre baseball affairs. George Brett came up to bat with two out at the top of the ninth. The Royals were down 4-3, and Brett was their only hope. In the Yankees' dugout, Graig Nettles pointed out to coach Billy Martin that Brett's bat had pine tar up to 24 inches from the end of the bat. There was an obscure rule that stated that pine tar could not extend further than 18 inches. Martin told Nettles not to say anything, and wait to see if Brett got a big hit.
Sure enough, Brett hit one out, giving the Royals a 5-4 lead. Out of the Yankee dugout came Martin, who called the umpires together. Home plate umpire Tim McClelland used home plate to measure the pine tar, and then, after a few moments, he turned to the Royals' dugout and pumped his fist, calling Brett out. Brett, who was usually mild-mannered, leapt from the dugout enraged. He had to be held back from punching McClelland out and was ejected from the game, although it was now already over. The Yankees won with a score of 4-3.
The Royals protested the game, and AL President Lee MacPhail upheld it, saying that the extra pine tar did not help improve the distance Brett could get off the bat, and that the rule called for the removal of the bat, not for the calling out of the batter. The game was later replayed, picking up after Brett's home run, but by this time there was little interest, and it had almost no effect on the pennant race.


  • Buckner Loses the Ball
Boston Red Sox vs. New York Mets (World Series Game 6)
October 25, 1986
The 1986 World Series was a series that there are differing opinions about. In Boston, it is one of the most infamous moments in sports history. In New York, for both Mets and Yankees fans, it is a magical one.
The Red Sox were three outs away from winning the world series for the first time since 1918. As the game neared it's end, the scoreboard at Shea Stadium even flashed a congratulations to the Sox for winning the 1986 World Series. A news reporter was in the Red Sox clubhouse, waiting along with bottles of champaigne. However, the Mets tied it up in the bottom of the tenth. The bases were loaded, and the Red Sox needed to get this out to keep the game alive.
Mookie Wilson stood at the plate, while Ray Knight waited at third for the opportunity to make it home. Wilson fouled a few pitches off, then finally hit a slow ground ball up the first base line to Bill Buckner, who was standing there, ready to end the inning. The first baseman put his glove down, but it was apparently not down low enough. The ball hit the dirt and deadened, rolling right under Buckner's glove and through his legs. As the ball rolled into the outfield, Knight scored from third and won the game for the Mets. The series would go to game 7, where the Mets would win their second world championship.
Buckner's error has become one of the most defining moments of the Curse of the Bambino legend. Although Buckner did not single-handedly lose the series, the fans were unforgiving, and Buckner would be unable to show his face in Boston for a long time.

August 12, 1994
In 1994, baseball was faltering financially. Owners began demanding that changed be made, the most prominant one being a salary cap. On January 18th, a new financial plan was agreed on, which included this salary cap. A policy of giving power over all labor disputes to the commisioner was added the next day. However, the owners soon afterward agreed to also reduce the commisioner's power "in the interest of baseball".
The new plan was unveilied on June 14th, but it was now embraced with open arms. Leader of the Major League Baseball Player's Association (MLBPA), Donald Fehr, rejected the offer.



On July 13, 1993, Fehr said that if serious negotiations between the players and the owners did not begin soon, the players could have gone out on strike in September of that year, threatening the postseason. On December 31, 1993, Major League Baseball's collective bargaining agreement ran out with no new agreement yet signed.

Arizona Diamondbacks vs. New York Yankees (World Series Games 3,4,5)
2001 Season
On September 11th, 2001, New York City was rocked by the terrorist attacks that brought down the World Trade Center and killed thousands. It was a time of great fear, and a very emotional time for the city of New York.
And so, when the Yankees made it into the world series against the Arizona Diamondbacks that year, they were praised by the city, and helped pick up a wounded people. For two weeks after the attacks, there was no baseball, and the rest of the season was pushed back, the world series starting on the latest date ever, October 27th. After the Yankees lost the first two games, unable to handle the powerful Diamondbacks aces, the series went back to New York. The results were some of the most emotional moments and exciting games in baseball history.
Game 3: Bush Throws the First Pitch
Before the third game, President George W. Bush threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Wearing a bullet-proof vest, and NYPD gear, Bush stood on the mound (most who throw the first pitch throw from a shorter distance), and threw a strike to backup catcher Todd Greene. This image would become a central one in the series. The Yankees would win the game 2-1
Game 4: November Baseball (aka "Mr. November")
In the bottom of the ninth, the Yankees were down 3-1 with two outs and one runner on. First baseman Tino Martinez hit one over the outfield fences, tieing the game at 3. The game continued into extra innings, and as the clock over the left field bleachers stuck 12 and chimes rang, the scoreboard read "Attention Fans, Welcome to NOVEMBER BASEBALL". This was the first time Major League Baseball was played in November. Moments afterwards, Derek Jeter hit a walk-off solo shot over the right field stands, gaining the nickname "Mr. November". The series was now tied at 2.
Game 5: The Surreal in the Bronx
In the final game in New York, the Yankees were held scoreless. It was the bottom of the ninth, and they were down 2 runs to 0. Byung-Yung Kim, who had lost the previous game to Jeter's home run, was now in to close the game. Jorge Posada got a double off of him, but the next two batters were retired. With a 1-0 count, Scott Brosius hit the next pitch out over the left field fences, and the Yankees once more tied the game in the bottom of the ninth with a two-run homer. The words of FOX announcers Tim McCarver and Joe Buck said it all as the stadium rocked and clips of the home run played.
Tim: I have never seen anything like this.
Joe: It borders on the surreal here in the Bronx.
Game 7: Diamondbacks Win

After the Diamondbacks routed the Yankees in Game 6, a decisive game seven would be played. The matchup featured two Hall of Fame pitchers: Roger Clemens against Curt Schilling. The game started out as a pitchers duel. Clemens blinked first in the sixth, allowing an RBI double to Danny Bautista. Derek Jeter averted further damage by making a great relay throw to get Bautista out at third, ending the inning. The Yankees came back in their half of the seventh with singles by Jeter, Paul O'Neill and Tino Martinez to tie it at one. In the eighth, Diamondbacks manager made a mistake by leaving Schilling in too long and ended up giving a one out, solo homerun to Alfonso Soriano and the Yankees lead 2-1. Miguel Bautista relieved Schilling and recorded the second out before game six winner, Randy Johnson entered the game. Mariano Rivera, one of the greatest closers in MLB history entered the game. He had only blown one postseason save and had a career postseason ERA of .70. After striking out the Diamondback in the bottom of the eighth, Johnson recorded a scoreless ninth, setting the stage for one of the most dramatic conclusions to a World Series. A light mist fell over Chase Field in the ninth, which would be crucial later. Rivera started the ninth by giving up a single to Mark Grace. Damien Miller bunted the ball badly back to Rivera. In a rare error by the sure-handed Rivera, the ball sailed into centerfield. Pinch runner Dave Dellucci could not advance to third due to the slide into second, getting tangled up with Jeter. The next batter, Jay Bell bunted back to Rivera, who threw Dellucci out at third for the first out of the inning. Tony Womack then took a cutter on the inside of the plate and slapped it down the rightfield line, scoring Miller and tying the game at two. After a hit by pitch to Craig Council, Yankee manager Joe Torre made a controversial decision to bring the infield in to cut down the run at the plate, although a relatively slow runner, Luis Gonzales was up. On a 1-2 count, Gonzales got jammed and looped a ball into shallow centerfield to score the Championship winning run. Had the infield not been in, either the soft-handed Jeter or Soriano would have made the catch. In one of the greatest World Series perhaps of all time, considering the tragedy of 9/11 and the back-to-back two-out two-run game tying homeruns by the Yankees and finally the tremendous comeback by the D'Backs in the ninth, the Arizona Diamondbacks became the youngest franchise to ever win a World Series, four years after their birth in 1998.

2004 Postseason
A few of the entries up to this point have involved the Curse of the Bambino. In 2004, events happened that would change the American League East forever. It was the ALCS, and the Yankees and Red Sox met once more for the series. The Yankees were hoping for a repeat of their 2003 series, and the Red Sox were looking for revenge. But the results were more than anyone could imagine.
The Yankees struck hard early in the series. After the drama of the previous year, many were disappointed when the Yankees won the first three games, needing only one more victory to go on to the World Series. On October 17th, in their second game in Boston, the Red Sox were three outs away from being swept. They were, however, able to get a run in and tie the game, which would be won with a two-run homer in the 12th by David Ortiz. Ortiz would repeat this feat in the 8th the next day, giving the Red Sox another win, and taking the series back to the Bronx.
In Game 6, the Red Sox needed a strong pitcher to hold the game down. They found it in Curt Schilling. Schilling had hurt himself in the ALDS, and had to pitch with his ankle wrapped up. As blood seeped through, he pitched, and kept the Yankees scoreless until the 7th. Bronson Arroyo came in to pitch, and took a ground ball from Alex Rodriguez. As he ran to first, Rodriguez reached up and slapped the ball from his hands. Jeter scored, but Rodriguez was called out for interference, erasing the run. This call caused a near-riot in Yankee Stadium. The Yankees wouldn't come back, and the series would go to Game 7.
Local radio announcer Mike Francesa, who is a big Mickey Mantle fan, refused to believe that the Red Sox could win this game and the series on Mantle's birthday. He would be correct. Game 7 would prove to be a rout, and the Red Sox went into the 9th leading 10-3. The clock turned midnight, and a few minutes later, at 12:04, the day after Mantle's birthday, the final out was made, giving the Red Sox the greatest comeback in baseball history and the American League Championship.
But this was not all. Now, the Sox had to meet the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series. Their first game was in Fenway, and it was a back and forth battle. The Red Sox went into the bottom of the 8th tied at 9, but Mark Bellhorn hit a two-run homer off the right field foul pole. The Red Sox were able to hold on and win it 11-9. The second game didn't go much better for the Cardinals, who could only get 2 runs to the Red Sox' 6.
The series went to Busch Stadium in St. Louis for the 3rd game, Pedro Martinez shut the Cardinals down, pitching seven scoreless innings. Mike Timlin kept it going, and the only run allowed was off Keith Foulke in the bottom of the ninth. A solo home run would give the Cardinals their only run in a 4-1 loss.
After 7 consecutive wins after being three outs from elimination, the Red Sox were one game away from winning the World Series for the first time in 86 years. Under a lunar eclipse, Derek Lowe started for the Red Sox. He took the Sox through 7 shutout innings, before being pinch-hit for in the 8th. The bullpen would keep it up, and it came down to the last out. Edgar Renterria bounced the ball back to the mound, and Foulke threw the ball to first, winning the game, and the world series for Boston. The Curse of the Bambino was over, and the Red Sox were champions again. Fans all over Boston went crazy as the moment they'd waited for all their lives occured. The players came back and finally got a long-awaited victory parade, capping of a dramatic win and postseason run.
