We've got two sets of bat-crackers against a set of pass-batters. Two sets of men versus a set of ladies... Two sets of American-themed teams and one set of... well, Mariners. It's time to play "Teammates."

Today's set of teammates:
Willie McGinest & Troy Brown; the New England Patriots. One is third in career sacks, the other is a "60-minute man".
Joel Pineiro & Randy Winn; the Seattle Mariners. They found their way from the Sunshine State to Seattle.
Jennie Finch & Natasha Watley; Team USA softball. One's got hot hands. The other, a hot bat. Both brought back gold from Greece.

Round 1: One on One

First up, Troy, Natasha, and Randy are sent to the ESPN locker room, while their partners do the Nicholson-Muir thing. You know, ask questions, match answers and what not. Matches are worth 15, and team with the most points at the end wins $30,000.

Question 1: Your teammate likes to do what when nobody's watching?
Willie: "Lay around in his underwear".
Jennie: Dance.
Joel: Dance. Can he dance? "No."

Question 2: What will your teammate say is your most unusual hidden talent?
Jennie: Singing.
Joel: Drawing.
Willie: Dancing.

Question 3: Who does your teammate fear the most; his/her coach/manager, his/her mother; or his/her spouse/other?
Joel: Spouse.
Willie: Mother.
Jennie: Coach.

The teammates are back. And it's time for that whole Nicholson-Muir thing we alluded to earlier.

Question 1:
Troy: Dance.
Natasha: Sleep. She dances in her sleep.
Randy: Play Playstation. Hell, I do that with EVERYONE watching.

Question 2:
Natasha: Singing.
Randy: Singing.
Troy: Dancing. MATCH for 15! And a dance for free!

Question 3:
Randy: "My wife." MATCH!
Troy: "My wife." Nope.
Natasha: "My mom."

After round 1, the Pats and the M's are tied with 15, while the sexy ladies of Team USA... are very sexy indeed. They have zero.

Question 1: When it comes to money, who will your teammate say is cheaper?
Troy: Me. "He's a California guy, I'm a country boy."
Natasha: Me.
Randy: Joel.

Question 2: What's the one thing your teammate cannot travel without on the road?
Natasha: her makeup.
Randy: his music. "Reggaeton."
Troy: dominoes. "He's a California boy."

Question 3: Will your teammate say their life is like "Animal House," "The House of 1000 Corpses", or the "Little House on the Prairie"?
Randy: Animal House.
Troy: "California answer." Animal House
Natasha: Animal House.

Commercial break, then it's back to round 2... and back to Willie, Jennie, and Joel.

Question 1:
Willie: Troy. MATCH.
Jennie: Tasha. MATCH. They got one!
Joel: Joel. MATCH.

Question 2:
Jennie: "My cell phone?" No match. "I got a habit, I guess."
Joel: "Laptop" No match.
Willie: "I'm always on the phone. I love my iPod." Cell phone is ... not a match. "I don't travel with'em all the time."

Question 3:
Joel: "Animal House, because of my baby." MATCH!
Willie: "Animal House." MATCH!
Jennie: "I just got married... Animal." MATCH.

One on One is done and done, and the Pats and the M's are STILL tied at 45, with Team USA behind at 30.

Now it's time for the final round, Two on Who? The teammates must work together to predict a third teammate's answer. Correct answers are worth 5 points. It's a timed round of one minute, and there are 40 points to be earned, so a lot of ground can be gained in a little time. The scores are so close right now, it could honestly go to anyone.

First up: Jennie & Natasha. They need four for the lead. Their teammate: coach Mike Candrea. They match up on who he could never tell a secret to (Jennie), what he sleeps in (shorts/t-shirt), who he could never have a locker next to (Laura Berg), who should never be approached after a loss (Jennie), who listens to the worst music (Crystal Bustos), and most spontaneous (Jennie). Six right, 30 points, 60 total. They have the lead so far. Big money, no Whammies, stop.

Next: Joel & Randy. They need three to tie and four to lead. Their teammate... pitcher Gil Meche. They match up on what he sleeps in (shorts/t-shirt), who he could never have a locker next to (Bret Boone), and who should never be approached after a loss (Joel). Three right, 15 points, 60 total for the tie.

Finally: Willie & Troy. They need three to tie and four to win. Their teammate: safety Rodney Harrison. They match up on who he could never tell a secret to (Willie), who is more likely to win the final rose on "The Bachelorette" (Willie), who should never be approached after a loss (Willie), and most spontaneous (Willie). Four right, 20 points, 65 total. That is game and match for the Patriots. And they just win everything, don't they?

Big ups to the Patriots. Until next week, hugs and handpounds. We out.
