The 2006 and 2009 robots were the starting pitchers. Their designer only got one pitch that didn't count.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Apparently the ballpark really needed Will on staff, instead he was taking a break to throw the first pitch and the big screen started to die.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Where are his safety glasses?!?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Will: "Don't mess up this time, Will, don't mess up... Oh shoot - where's the ball?!"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Man my nipples are cold!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Will: "You spend six weeks building a robot and no one sees it. You make the Dean's list and no one sees it. You drop the baseball at a major league game and they put it up on the jumbo screen for the whole world to see."

Wait, I thought balls were all about this size. You know, Poof balls, Orbit balls, soccer balls ...

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

The Hilltopper had no trouble scaling the pitcher's mound. Unfortunately, a gale force wind caught his hair and sent him flying. Now he's a Hilltoppler.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Become one with the ball. Be the ball, Will. Be the ball......I've really got to stop talking to myself.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Talk about gullible. Somebody told him there was something on his shirt 30 minutes ago and he is still looking. Kids these days.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

OK, now that I'm out here, how do I do this? I know, a little sleight of hand will do the job. They'll be so dazzled by my fast fingers that they won't notice that the pitch is a little less than spectacular?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Will confused the events and wrote his chairman's speech on the baseball, and threw his index cards at the judges.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Man, the Brewers are getting desperate for relievers.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Ninja robotics: The ball is controlled by mind power, no need to touch it.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Miller Park? I think you mean Bill Miller's park.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

In what appears to be the strangest trade ever, Dean's List Winner Will Pierson will be pitching for the Milwaukee Brewers and Randy Wolf will be driving for Milwaukee Hilltoppers.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Human Van der Graaf generator, Will Pierson, delivers an electrifying first pitch, permanantly warping the jumbotron and leaving the crowd chanting "you're blind ump! you're blind!

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

That must have really faked out the other team, an invisible ball. What strategies will they come up with next?

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Will demonstrates to Prince Fielder the size of the largest bratwurst he ever ate. Fielder was visibly not impressed. Will then responded that he was also holding in his hands every World Series trophy the Milwaukee Brewers had ever won.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Will, thinking of his childhood visions of being the greatest pitcher of all time:

The difference between success and failure doesn't have to be far - it can be the difference between a swing and a miss. I've got this.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

Hey Balthazar Blake called, and he would really appreciate it if his apprentice didn't go around plasma bolting MLB players for fun. It really gives sorcerers a bad name.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #380
 

At least his shirt kind of matches the Brewers' colors, even if the team he plays for is entirely different.

When they asked me to try pitching, I thought they were talking about our elevator pitch. Gosh, I hope I'm pointed in the right direction.
