"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; And here we thought Apu was a Mets fan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Comedian Hank Azaria has spent the better part of the past quarter-century as one of the key voices of the animated series &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt;, a show that's quite possibly the best television comedy ever (you can have your &lt;em&gt;Seinfeld&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Larry Sanders Show&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;The Ropers&lt;/em&gt; \u2014 and yes, I'm completely kidding about the last one). On Sunday, Azaria brought some of his famous voices to life outside the confines of Springfield.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Dodgers invited Azaria to read Sunday's starting lineup, and he did so while calling upon the voices of three key supporting characters from the long-running TV show: bartender Moe Szyslak, Kwik-E-Mart proprietor Apu Nahasapeemapetilon and police chief Clancy Wiggum. Azaria's performance appeared to be lost on the Dodgers' infamously sparse pregame crowd, but MLB.com preserved it for posterity:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One can quibble with Azaria's choice of voices; the indignation of Comic Book Guy would seem to be a natural fit for the middle third \u2014 Scott Van Slyke, Luis Cruz and Skip Schumaker \u2014 of the injury-wracked lineup, but all in all, it's good for a giggle or two. Alas, the Dodgers offered more yuck than yuks on the afternoon, scoring just one run in an 8-1 loss, though Yasiel Puig did go 3-for-5 with a double and mustered a brief bit of magic in the field; check out this laser to the plate.\nPerhaps at some point when the Dodgers are on the road (i.e., without the legendary Vin Scully), they'll let Azaria call a full game in the voice of broadcast \"legend\"\u00A0Jim Brockmire.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
