"The Boys of Bummer" is the eighteenth episode of The Simpsons' eighteenth season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on April 29, 2007. It was written by Michael Price and was the first episode to be directed by Rob Oliver.
The Simpsons are at a baseball game and Bart catches a fly ball, pushing the Springfield Isotots into the championships. The next day, Marge is shopping at a department store, but Homer is tired and can't find a place to sit, so he lies down on a mattress and ends up falling asleep. However, when he wakes up, everybody is staring at him, so he gets up and exclaims his love for the mattress and manages to sell five; he is promptly hired as a mattress salesman.
Springfield is playing Shelbyville in the championship, and is leading 5-2 in the bottom of the ninth with two outs, but Shelbyville has the bases loaded. When their batter hits the ball that could decide the game, it heads towards Bart. He drops a pop up and repeatedly fails to pick it up, allowing all four runners to walk the bases and score, giving Shelbyville the 6-5 victory. The crowd turns against Bart, who flees the stadium. When Chief Wiggum offers him a ride to safety though, Wiggum drives him back inside the stadium to allow people to throw food at him. Bart is totally humiliated and has now become the town's outcast.
At Homer's new job, he assists Apu Nahasapeemapetilon. The Lovejoys approach him with a sex problem, so Homer sells them a new mattress called The Snugglux by Matrimonium. The Lovejoys buy it, but bring it to the Simpsons house the next day, with their problem unresolved. As Homer is writing them a refund check, the Lovejoys begin to make out on Homer and Marge's mattress, and trade their new mattress for it. That night, when Homer and Marge are unsuccessfully trying to have sex, Homer admits he traded their mattress. He also admits that he spent the money they kept in it on a chain originally made for Elvis (which Elvis rejected for being too tacky). The next day, the Lovejoys are both singing joyfully and giggling at the Church.
