P1, Not likely to make the catch with the back of your glove, kid. No wonder Gil wanted to open against these guys.

P2, Marty looks angry either because Gil’s team has the lead or, more likely, he’s misplaced his sippy cup.

P3, The Knappester takes one for the team.

I’ve never see a rectangled shaped home plate before.

What’s this? Two days in a row of actual sports?

Wait until GilPa shows up to ‘coach’. He’s been spending time at MCC getting ready for the golf season. Wonder if little Kayla is on the range?

I umpired for 12 years and I think I’d have trouble calling pitches 8 feet from the plate. These guys are good.

Cries of, “he went!” from the Tigers’ bench!

So Mike Knappe is going to be Milford’s Rickey Henderson? Is that where this is going?

And the headline about the “Not Guilty” verdict in the big political corruption trial in Milford: “The Mayor Walks!!!”

Judge: wee, wee, wee “all the way Home”. Replied the Mudlarks

P-3: All the bloggers are stunned. All this time we thought we were watching baseball; while we’re actually watching Milford’s inaugural Cricket Match. Gill asks for a raise for coaching yet another sport.

The Mayor is going to make things happen!

Well it’s nice to see they replaced the putting green basepaths with sand since yesterday. And speaking of replacing, I would advise you to replace whatever boring thing you’re currently doing with the excitement of reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

wonder why Moon who is broadcasting the game and who hates Gil the great looks so damn pi$$ed off in his panel 2 closeup

I can’t believe Ray Richey is losing his match against the Softball Moms. Come one, HE PUNCHED ME! THAT SHOULD BE GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN EVERY GAME!

Maybe the chatty Mayor will be so wrapped up in conversation with the first baseman that he will be caught knapping!

P1 – Farrah Fawcett’s estate lawyers called; they want a royalty on that hairstyle.

Wishing Snark Nation a safe and Happy Easter. Mrs. Bearwku82 made some amazing sloppy joes this week and I will enjoy my leftovers counting my blessings.

Couple of questions. Do we ever find out why he’s called “The Mayor”? Is it because he makes things happen, Big Ken Brown style? Does that make sense? No?

Remember at the start, when he went to Kaz for advice (bah ha ha)? And we did not get to hear what the advice was, or what he even asked? Will we ever actually find out? I wouldn’t count on it.

I bet that kid from Louisiana regrets diving onto the frozen Milford outfield.
