Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for May 23, 2014

Stttrrrrreeeeeettttccchhhhh it out until the week-end…..then wrap it up in two panels and off to the country club

E-5

And then, and then, a peacock flies off with the ball……safe!

In all reality, And because Lucky threw the ball with his eyes closed throws the ball into the stands hitting Amy who spills her root beer on the Mayor of Milford who hustled over to see history being made.

You can’t balk with nobody on base. Well, my prediction from yesterday came true, the last play would end in a “cliffhanger” and we’ll find out tomorrow. Since he didn’t make a diving play it looks like he’s botching the throw. If not it’s the most boring perfect game ever.Results from the poll of how the game will end, from 42 voters:- Lucky’s amazing play saves perfect game – 23- Lucky blows perfect game – 15- Perfect game without Lucky affecting – 2- No perfect game no Lucky – 2

Perfect game or not, if this is how this episode is set to conclude, what was the point? Take it away, Mop!

It has been tough to come up with anything the last couple of days, here’s today’s MUT, only slightly more exciting than the real thing.

Lucky could avoid the possibility of a bad throw by simply reaching into panel two and tagging the runner.

Good job by the Milford ground crew to water down the batters box and slow down runners trying to beat out an infield single.

In P2, the batter is still in the batter’s box, yet we know that it’s a bouncer toward the hole? No need to rush the throw.

Maybe with the pitcher’s foot going through the panel into the batter’s box the ump will call interference and award the batter firstbase.

I believe that Lucky’s decision to throw a split-fingered ball to first will come back to haunt him.

Like Coach Ed Henry from the movie “Remember the Titans”, Lucky looks supremely confident in P3.

I don’t know about the Milford CC…I’ve heard rumors that Thorp is going to be offered a gig to coach wind sailing on Lake Erie. Mimi feigns sadness over Gil being gone for a month while winking at Pedro the Pool Boy.

He’s out but Jim Joyce calls him safe.

In all reality, Luckys throw sails by the first baseman but hits Mopmans garden tractor that he was absent mindly mowing with causing the ball to careem back to the first baseman beating the runner for the third out.
