Cuando los Medias Verdes come-plantas se enfrenten a los Ojos Rojos come-carne, el baseball nunca volverá a ser el mismo. Empatados a cero, el juego es un duelo de lanzadores hasta que el furioso entrenador de los Medias Verdes se enfrenta hocico a hocico con el árbitro dodo y es expulsado. ¡Los Medias Verdes responden con sus bates de fuerza vegetal y anotan tres carreras! Los Rojos toman la iniciativa antes de la séptima entrada y llegan igualados al inicio de la novena. ¿Este juego se irá a entradas extras o será Apatosaurus el héroe del día? When the plant-eating Green Sox face the meat-eating Rib-Eye Reds, baseball will never be the same. Tied zip to zip, the game is a pitchers'' duel until the Green Sox''s hothead manager goes snout to snout with the dodo umpire and gets tossed out. The Sox respond with their veggie-powered bats and score three runs! Momentum swings back to the Reds before the seventh inning stretch, and they''re all tied up in the bottom of the ninth. Will this game need extra innings, or will Apatosaur save the day? Now in Spanish.

Cuando los Veguis come-plantas y los Mordedores come-carne saltan al campo de juego, es hora de un enfrentamiento de proporciones prehistóricas. Diplodocus muestra el toque sutil de los herbívoros y anota primero para los Veguis. Pero Gallimimus recibe un pase de uno de los gemelos Pterodáctilos y remata, igualando el marcador para los Mordedores. En el segundo tiempo, Apatosaurus anota el gol de la ventaja para los come-plantas, pero tras una trifulca les muestran tarjetas rojas a jugadores de ambos equipos. Hambriento por empatar el partido, Allosaurus de los Mordedores no falla. Ahora, empatados a 2, los equipos se preparan con dientes apretados y garras afiladas para los minutos finales. . . When veggie-nibbling Grazers and meat-munching Biters take to the soccer field, it''s a showdown of prehistoric proportions. Diplodocus shows an herbivore''s soft touch and strikes first for the Grazers. But Gallimimus takes a pass from the twin Pterodactyls on the wings and finishes it off to even things up for the Biters. In the second half, Apatosaur scores the go-ahead goal for the veggie-side, but then a brawl results in red cards for both teams. Hungry to tie the game, Biter Allosaurus takes advantage. Now it''s 2-2, setting up the teeth-gnashing, claw-curling final minutes. . . . Now in Spanish.
