    Mopman’s possibilities here are endless, especially since it looks like Master Bader is diving headlong into P2, right for …

    Bader was always good with his hands.

    Getting yanked always improved Bader’s disposition.

    Van Auken is left handed and playing with a left hand glove, this might be part of his frustration. Gil better be careful or the Van Man may kick his butt. Mitchell is playing with his dad’s a Hai Alai glove….there is a Dick’s Sporting Goods in Central City where they sell b-ball mitts but it is in a tough section of town.

    Van Awkward saves his best pitch for last. Man, getting sent to the showers is Tru(E)ly a traumatic experience at Milford.

    Hall of Famer Bobby Mitchell comes in for the save with an assist from Superman, played today by Young Master Bader. Nice touch with the tissue flying from his back pocket.

    Those pesky Central City metal scavengers must have stolen the chain link fencing from Milford’s dugout again.

    Looks like Bader has a bird comming out of his arse! Either that or he has a spoiler for better aerodynamics….

    In all reality , Bobby Ant Face Mitchell doesn’t let the ants feasting on his face stop him from getting the save. Now off to the showers where Barry Bader makes Canno explode !

    I am sure both are self gratifying developments.

    Bobby Mitchell’s expression and freckles reminds me of how they drew Bugs Meany in the Encyclopedia Brown books.

    Bader is bigger than he was last year…looks to be cumming into his own…

    Looking at P1’s narration box, I have to ask what Van Auken and a chain have in common…

    (Yeah, I agree, that was a bit of a lame “reach”…)

    P1- KER-SMACK! Looks like RVA has a hankie in the back pocket like Bader. The Cano is no Larry Cutter. However, he should provide us with adequate material. P3- GilPa knew the game was well in hand, knowing Master Bader’s aggressive nature would come through with the game up for grabs.

    P-1: Experimenting in the dugout, Van Ryan discovers his release was too late. Now, there’s dedication.

    P-2: Bobby Mitchell is so upset at the rarity of his appearances, he leans into P-1 to get his first “double”.

    P-3: The only way Bader could “grab” (nice term for MB) the ball with his glove facing downward is if his dive is head first (no pun intend…, yes it was) instead of lunging sideways. Don’t believe, I’ve ever seen a player dive into a ball coming at them before. However, after this, I’m amped up with Mud Lark Madness!!

    Glad to see the cool, calm and collected Van Awkward on the team. Hate to see what he was like when he was a hothead. And speaking of seeing, just go to the address below to see the latest Mopped Up Thorp.

    I’m too late, someone already has Mitchell on their roster. Who’s closing for Tilden?

    Looks like young Master Bader is throwing himself on a ‘hand’ grenade in that last panel and taking one for the team.
