Sorry, fellow Thorpe readers, three comments in a row is wearing out my welcome. But “Driven deep to the right”? Driven deep to right, or driven deep to right field, sure. I’ve never heard any announcer say a ball was driven deep to the right. But I’ve never heard Marty Moon, who appears to be looking down at a nonexistent TV monitor instead of out at the field.
In all reality,from the look on Marty s face in P2 I can almost hear him slurring his words just like Harry Carey. Do you know that Lucky said backwards is pronounced Ykcul ?
In all reality, after a lenghty interview with John Pascoe Sgt Rock prepares to head off to the Milford VFW for a frozen pizza dinner, some video poker and to watch ultimate fighting.
P1- damn, for a minute I thought the peacock had returned! Or, is that the sound of a bat hitting the peacock?P3- is that the mute Pascoe on the bench?
On to Milford CC I say! Gil’s patronage job is awaiting!
I’m not sure if the guys in the dugout are out of a 1930’s gangster film, or if they are the extras who didn’t make it out of the cornfield in “Field of Dreams.”
Hmm…P2 sure looks familiar. A quick jump back to a year ago today and another day for good measure finds the exact same panel with different words. Sad thing is, my comment THAT day is identifying the panel as a repeat from an even earlier day.
Lots of great comments today, many helped me crank out today’s MUT.Don’t forget to check back late tonight/tomorrow for part 5 of the special Sunday MUT. I finished it Monday and have been itching to post it! Best one yet (in my not-so-humble opinion).
If that Krak were a Kerrr-Rack!, The Lucky Man woulda gone yard, smashing Wildcat Maris’ penthouse 2nd story picture window. Marty is no Harry Doyle, however, the sippy cup does give him the Chinese eyes.

Good to see ol’ Marty back in action. That flask, or whatever it is, looks like it’s big enough to get him through a 7 inning high school game.

what is Lucky talking about?

Jeez, change his name from Lucky to Cocky. He sounds more like a jerk every day.

Have to say, Lucky’s teammates seem very happy about his tough break. Maybe they’re sick of him, too.

Those guys in the dugout look like they’re in their forties.

Is this meandering plot ever gonna end?! What’s the conflict?! We’re getting into summer – maybe time for anothe Coach Kaz mystery.

If you look closely, you can read part of Moon’s grocery list in P2: corn flakes, bourbon, soup, bourbon…

A strike is just inches from being a homer. Or is there more to it?—Tough break for Lucky? You didn’t need the runs?

Props to you Mop for my, errr, props. I have plenty of red shirts. I have a sudden urge for some quality H20.
