Plot
In the opening, Kang hopes to speed up an exceedingly slow and boring baseball game, despite Kodos' protests, but ends up destroying the universe when the baseball players go so fast, they turn into a killer vortex which sucks up the universe, even God. When Kodos berates Kang off-camera for destroying the universe, Kang and Kodos laugh evilly, they cancel The Simpsons Halloween Special, and they quickly get set up for Christmas.
