This episode is seriously like Spongebob's One Coarse Meal 2 years before it even existed, mainly because it includes a suicide scene, done worse than OCM I think because people still taunt Bart after he attempts suicide. It is done worse than OCM because OCM was just one person doing it there. Here it is buttloads of people harrasing him. Why? Because he couldn't catch a ball at the Isotopes Championship game and they lost because of it and the stadium tells people to throw beer at him and they even drive him in a police car so they can continue! He even tried to get help which also gets him taunted by a former baseball player to the point Bart cries and he starts spray painting "I HATE BART SIMPSON" all over Springfield until he attempts suicide. The ending isn't any better.
Honestly, I hate this episode more than Lisa Goes Gaga. Lisa Goes Gaga was bad mainly because it was boring and Lisa was very unlikable, here everyone is so unlikable that this episode made me angry. I know it is a cartoon, but it doesn't make the episode better that it is not real. Same with One Coarse Meal and also Family Guy's Brian's A Bad Father, which also included a suicide "joke." Overall, if you love the Simpsons, DO NOT watch this episode, unless if you wanna see One Coarse Meal in Simpsons form. I give this episode a 1 out if 10
