    So much for the damn splay-fingered gyroball!

    It’s quite commendable to field a grounder with your prosthetic arm, but I question the advisability of using the “wrench” attachment.

    P1, What’s that, Mike, doomsday?

    P2, Oh, he’s bananas alright.

    P3, If “The Mayor” is running to first shouldn’t there be a baseline?

    In all reality , the throw to first hits the Mayor in the head and bounces out to right, the Mayor fueled by his special breakfast sprints past second and heads to third and ignores Gil’s frantic Stop sign and races to home , sliding and he’s -- in all reality you guys decide ! It give you something to do while quarantined

    P3- The Mayor takes a mighty lash and produces a ball in play only Lumber Company founder Lucky Haskins can appreciate.

    P1 - Wow. Is he going to go out and drive the powerful Mach 5?

    Negative launch angle for the mayor. He has a better chance of getting to first base with Phoebe than on this ball

    as the ball approaches the first baseman, the Mayor’s breakfast kicks in. the first baseman swoons from the smell and the ball sales all the way to the bleachers

    With Rubin’s sports logic, Tilden will break the first rule that they teach in little league about throwing the ball around tryin’ to get an out and Knappy will end up with a HR on three errors, sparking a rally

    Hits a dribbler? I understood basketball season was over.

    P1 – So Mayor McCheese has been preparing for this situation all day. Coming up to bat late in the game facing a huge deficit? Way to be pessimistic about your team. (Although he was accurate.) Down 4 with nobody on and he’s going to save the day. I guess he’s not challenging for Class Valedictorian.

    P2 – His stupid breakfast was at least 8 hours ago, give it a rest!

    P3 – Take your time second baseman, no need to rush. Yeah, just kneel down before you pick up the ball.

    And speaking of taking your time, take your time and mosey on over to Mopped Up Thorp for a chuckle or two.

    P 3: Knappe does an imitation of what everyone will look like once they reopen the bars

    That’s a really lame attempt at humor by dark-haired P2 boy. (“Poisoned all of us”?) His comedic formula seems to be to couch a reference to a “hilarious” incident in a string of random words. Blah blah blah BANANAS-IN-OJ BREAKFAST blah blah blah! (ha ha ha!)

    Hey, Tildenian, it helps if you look at the ball you’re trying to pick up.

    I’d be fine if the Mayor pulls a hamstring and we don’t see him again until he’s boringly listening to two valedictorian speeches.

    I see two outcomes. One, he beats the throw, and maybe it’s wild so he gets to second. Whatever. The team rallies and ties the game or takes the lead, all thanks to his Mayor-like superpowers.

    The other is he is out on a close play, and argues the call. The ump ejects him after he gives the ump a not-so-friendly nickname. The team loses the conference opener, season shot.
