R and W strategy is to start Gonzo Alceves for the W and Greggg must pitch the rubber game, providing Snark Nation with next weeks disappointment. Missing the playdowns or robbing us of valuable MCC time, some of us will be bummed.
Gillll’s irritation continues to grow as the media frenzy kicks into hyperdrive, realizing that he will actually have to show up and pretend to work in order to keep the appearance that he cares
On the flipside, Mimi immediately realizes her good fortune and schedules Pedro for extra daily pool cleanings
It Gregg is indeed catching a ball, where did it come from, the parking lot? That might be the strangest drawing ever in this strip, and that’s saying a lot.
P2: John Greilick must really be tough, throwing an 89+ mph beach ball. Meanwhile, today is Tuesday; any chance we can wrap this season (and lame story arc) up by Saturday? Nah, I didn’t think so either.
There is a lesson to be learned from this story. The batters in Milford’s league are so weak, you can have a blind pitcher with a winning record. Yet, Gil still struggles to finish second. Mr. Thorp, invest in a Batting Coach!
Ah, Milford dropping game 1 of the big last 3 gives me more confidence that Milford loses the championship. We’re not going to see Gregggg win this game and then have the title clinching game be one he doesn’t pitch. So I say Gregggg is nervous and sucks early in the game, but then settles down after some encouragement from his idiot dad who BRAVELY decides to show his face despite all the national media that showed up for this game. Gregggg pitches late into the game but Milford loses 4-3 when Scooterrrr tries to use his super bunting skills to bunt home the tying run but fouls off strike three to end the game on Thursday.
And speaking of fouls, Mopped Up Thorp is often quite foul.
The game gets called for darkness. Because the game takes too long; with the catcher having to walk to the mound to hand Gregg the ball after every pitch because his vision has deteriorated.
Incredibly, Vito from Goshen has had to bring on more help to keep up with the big-time national money coming in on the game. ESPN called it “Blindman’s Bluff,” and noted that Coach Thorp is a savant of sorts. Vito’s prop bets range from the number of people G hits to how many pitches until Scooter is told to shut up. A large bet on the ’Larks just came in from noted ophthalmologists Dr. J and Doc Gooden. The Blind Boys of Alabama and Geordi La Forge were seen in the stands among the many celebrities.

Good old Oscar Madison High. Their custodian is not in Mopman’s league. In fact, do they even have one? Unlike their archrival, Unger Prep.
