Terrible. I've hated most of the sports-related ones they've done and this was no different. Bleh. A few funny lines, that was it. (Note to producers: Homer doing something stupid and then repeating it 5 times was funny once; not three times an episode.)

Yeah, not a whole lot impressed me about tonight's season finale either. The Lenny and Carl bit where they talked about making out...with their girlfriends...is the only thing I recall chuckling at.

Not a good one to close the season on.

Surprised by the hate. I actually liked this episode quite a bit, and laughed out loud at least a few times.

Terrible finale, and either that last joke went completely over my head, or it was the biggest clunker of a very mediocre season.

I thought it was a pretty good episode, loved the triple Duffman gag.

It did have a "Simpsons did it" feel to it of course, as they've done this kind of story before (Colonel Homer, the sexy co-worker), and of course they've done plenty of baseball episodes.

But it wasn't too bad...

I'm with the "terrible" camp. A few laughs, but I was drifting off for most of it I was so bored.

I didn't think it was as bad as people are making it out to be.

I just wish that Mandy Moore played those scenes in live action.

I thought Tabitha's voice was by Stacy Keach. I'm not really familiar with her, but I have my pants down and am about to Google her pics.

This episode was terrible. Last weeks was just about the best of this season. I was so ashamed I watched the entire episode. I felt dirty afterwards.

It was pretty weak overall, but there were some laughs and I would hardly call it terrible.

I thought it was a good episode, I liked Moe's lines. I also liked the intro where the couches turned in to monsters. (I'm not sure if this was this episode or not) And Moe took a swig out of a bottle and started blasting them with the shotgun, that was too funny.

I liked the extended intro too.
I watched a bit and then I had to take care of the baby, so I was watching in parts. Some bits were kinda of funny. Not sure If I'll check it again in my DVR.

Meh.
Few chuckles; Lenny and Carl; Moe with "I remembered you!"; "There are THREE Duffmans working this game, Oh Yeah!", and I had a Homer one early in the ep, but I forgot it.
Ending-yeah, that was a rather sudden, irrelevant ending.

And the fact the rerun before it was from this season, just a couple months ago, if that long, was insult to injury.

and yet...we continue to watch..

Its almost like watching the simpsons is a duty..we don't know why we watch..we are hoping for one laugh..and then that validates us giving a half-hour to the show.

thankfully most episodes have given me 2 laughs, so I continue to watch.
