Bill, I assume you glance at these comments now and then. Tell me, are these characters based on anyone in particular (whether or not you’re willing to say who) or just random Grumpy Old Men?

Spring sport = Stanley Cup!

Nothing like a great game of baseball to brighten your day.

Is the guy in panel one just a random jogger, or just running away from Statler and Waldorf there?

Been a baseball fan for all my sentient life…but they’ve lost me…can’t do DH in both leagues…I’m gonna miss it, I really wish they were gonna miss me! Which reminds me, were there an fans represented in the winter negotiations….I didn’t think so.

I’m so disappointed in the players. They needed to hold out until they forced every billionaire owner to actually try to win at least every other year. The Reds have given up for the next decade despite playing in a division with only one team really trying to win and 3 wild cards. Ken Griffey Jr.‘s prorated contract from the early 2000s is now the 5th highest salary on the roster, and it’s only $3.5 million. What a joke. Just let ESPN contract the league down to the 8 teams they actually give a damn about and get rid of all the other teams.

I’m pretty much out Pro-Sports, it’s too hit and miss.

Massively overpaid primadonna athletes.
