Hook ’em, ’Horns!

So is Cami the coach and the announcer? Or is Marty Moon coaching now?

P4 This b*tch is throwing a two-hit shutout. She’s shaking me off. You believe that sh*t? Charline, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree- yas, because it’s so rare for a catcher to go to the mound to talk to the pitcher, it’s only done by coaches’ offspring

I don’t know how “Hook ’em Horns” is going to help, but we’ll see what happens.

Sorta like Bull Durham, Keri tells Prissy, hit the peacock. Trust me.

You’re twisting your shoulders too much? Maybe she’s rockin’ out to Slim Chance’s latest hit song, “69 New Haven or Bust” on her earbuds.

Girls JV softball being played under the lights with radio coverage by its broadcaster-coach, played in front of a full house. Mudlark sports is Milford!

Did we know Keri was catcher??

Cami comes out to the mound: “Candlesticks always make a nice gift, and uh, maybe you could find out where she’s registered and maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware pattern…”

“Scorecard. Can’t tell the players without a scorecard.” [Berta-Two an a half men]

P1- Cami lets everyone know that she’s on a first name basis with Ms Wolfe.

P2- Dorothy is a lefty but it looks like she has the glove on her left hand. Switch pitcher? And where is her fielding mask that she wore last time (when she was also #7)?

P3- Cami coaches, announces the game and aparently she’s also a lip reader.

“Relax your shoulders. And if you don’t, I’ll punch you in the mouth again.”

That sign in panel 3 is ASL for “I Love You”.

Try to relax- great advice. Reminds me of a practice presentation I did where the manager said you were nervous I could tell. Thanks a lot that will be really helpful when I do it for real

Not only is JV softball getting air time on the radio, they’re playing a night game. When did this start, 8pm? And speaking of start, I’m sure you’ve started reading Mopped Up Thorp by now.

She’s giving the hand sign for something naughty!
