“Yeah, he’s the blind kid in school, but we were short and had to put him somewhere. He’s pretty good at stopping bean balls, though. It’s our pitcher’s specialty.”
P2: “Send him to second base this afternoon. My usual can’t make it today.”
P3: “She’s a softy?”
“No, but she’s worried that you are. Someone in the shower room is leaking inside information among other things.”
P1: I prefer to think of this story as “evolving”. P2: C to 2B? Enough about Craig Biggio. P3: Let’s try Boy Meets Girl to heat things up. “Corina Corina” bringing lava from “way across the sea”.
The Valley is full of good coaching material. The what’s-her-name girl had to help Gil coach football (tight ends?) and now this savant. She would have seen that Stan Musial was not a pitcher and Dale Murphy was not a catcher and moved them to other positions. After her armed robbery charges get dropped, Mimi needs to recruit her to Milford.
P1, A guy I grew up with was one of those kids that had a full beard at like, 6 years old, so of course we called him Creature. Years later, my softball team played against his and the umpire was our old gym teacher/basketball coach. I was catching that day and when Creature came to bat the umpire/gym teacher/basketball coach says, “Hey, Creature, long time no see.” Creature replied, “I’m not Creature anymore. I’ve evolved!”
P2, Looks like Phoebe has taken over as coach of the Reprobates.
P3, And The Mayor is an armpit of babbling banality.
P 4: “…and she’s in here because she has an attitude about her name…she beat some kid into a coma when he made fun of it…I think he tried to give her a nickname of some sort…”
Well, unfortunately my second guess yesterday was right. I didn’t predict the catcher part, but she’s going to now be their catcher and she’ll be a genius at calling pitches, keeping Milford off guard at the plate, and probably can hit well too.
P 1.5: “…come to thinks of it, your pitcher, first baseman, second baseman, short-stop, third baseman, left fielder, center fielder, right fielder, and the kid hitting fungoes are awful too…”
You know, I don’t think gravel pits normally consist of bubbling lava. But then again, I guess the best and brightest aren’t attending this school. And speaking of bubbling, look what finally bubbled to the surface. Today’s issue of Mopped Up Thorp.

Too easy.
Not unlike the implication of P2.

Heh. When the Gang First Gathered, I was wondering “what, does reform school have no female athletes?”
Now what Phoebe will make of all this, alas, is probably going to be the one-step-back part.

I wonder what monetary fee will be associated with this advancement to second base.
