P3: The coach is back! I’m a coach, I’m a coach, oh the Coach is back, quite annoying as a matter of fact, I can coach, I can coach oh much better than Gil…
Does this crucial, crucial win propel them to first in the Valley? Marty Moon reports there is a petition going around to have the city’s name changed to Gilford, for obvious reasons. He said he’s not drunk enough to sign it yet.
P1 Thing really has a thing for Zane(y), just can’t stay hands off
P2 At times? Gee, what do you really think Corina?
P3 You’re a bigger wimp than that racer wannabe from the last story arc, this team needs a coach and you need a catcher, I’m taking over here, see? Don’t worry that Wilson Henry stiff is going to have an accident and won’t be able to play the rest of the season – I’m calling the shots now
I loves me some CK! She’s the best character to inhabit GilWorld in many years. The gift that keeps on giving. And BTW, today’s strip confirms that Milford is definitely NOT in New York. That has to be the lamest looking pizza I’ve ever seen. Makes Chuck E. Cheese look good.
P4: “I noticed that your arm swing is too long, extending far behind you before coming up to your release point. Your arm should go from your glove to your release point in a shorter, more intentional path. Shortening the delivery will make you “on time” when making a pitch — getting your arm into the optimal position when his front foot strikes the ground. You will have less trouble finding the strike zone. Also, your arm is lagging behind, leaking kinetic energy and draining velocity. If you start compensating by drawing energy from elsewhere, you risk serious injury. Hello Tommy John!” Or maybe: “Just throw strikes!”
If Corina’s brilliant insight leads to her joining the baseball team, I’m all for it. But that would be an interesting twist, so I’m sure it will never happen.
And speaking of happening, I’m sure you’re interested in what calamity happens to a Milford student in today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

P3: Corina one-ups the ventriloquist act of drinking a glass of water by eating a piece of pizza and talking at the same time.

P1, Katy cops a feel.
P2, I think the word you’re searching for, Katy starts with a “C” rather than “BL.”
P3, Annnnd here it comes. Soon, CK will be Insane Zane’s personal catcher as the boys rally the rest of the way for second in The Valley.

Corinna could be destined for a career in college coaching. If her mom would turn her loose, which likely will not happen.

Corrina doesn’t mess around with details like release point or leg drive. When you need a big pitch, make it!

Pizza may be terrible here, but it’s endless. Four massive pieces gone, yet three-fourths left!

Katy has her blue eyes back but CK now has brown eyes. At least they all have their same hair color today.
