FAST PITCH… Thanks, guys. Yes, the bunt should have made it obvious. When I last taught at a rural school systemin KY 30 years ago, they were playing slow pitch there. In TX, fast pitch was king. Over here in Holland, the American schools play slow pitch, still. The Dutch league is ALL fast pitch, even little kids down to 10 years old.
In all reality , Lucky says Rekash was supposed to be here today but he was unlucky and came down with ebola. I know Ms. Brooks won t peanalize us for his absence , anyone want to rub my head for luck .
How will Ms. Brooks assess Rakesh? Will she leave herself open to an official appeal process? How important is this task? I wouldn’t make students present unless all members of a group were present. It’s meant to be a history exercise to see what they know and how well they can communicate it to an audience; it’s not an “attendance” test.
I’m curious as to how Lucky will proclaim today’s presentation disaster as good fortune on Monday.In our alternate world, let’s check out the good times in Mopped Up Thorp.
In all reality , the rail birds at the Milford Kennel Klub Dog Track are not very happy with Luckys Derby pick . He charged them a buck each to rub his head for luck.
Finally, here is this week’s Sunday strip of Mopped Up Thorp. Part 4 of the originally planned 3-parter. I suppose it helps to have a plot in advance, but it’s better if I’m surprised too, lol.

They should have teamed up with that kid in the far right of panel 3. He didn’t stay home sick even though he’s missing the top half of his head.

And so, um, in conclusion, the Russians were really lucky when the Germans attacked them.

Well done, wmac8898, 5/2.
They go into that much detail about WWII? I was 50 years closer. We probably learned there was a war and that America won it.

God, I hated group projects in high school. Rakesh never came through for me.

In all reality , will Lucky reveal his Derby pick via Mop Man today ?

Plot twist question: will Amy take over third base for Gil’s team? Lucky is bound to be academically ineligible for bombing this presentation.
On another note, it’s nice to see two guys sporting “The Monk.”
