    The game will ultimately be forfeited due to Gil’s negligence in submitting a lineup card with the centerfielder clearly listed as D.Town, not D. Tolan - as well as having two CFs. (See Monday’s strip). Sloppy. Bluedarter would have never let him get away with that.

    Coach Kaz got himself some junk in the trunk in P1 btw.

    desertdwlr he’s got a ball in his right hand and with his left he’s pulling Huang - signed, Beavis and Butthead.(corrected)

    Meanwhile, Marty’s back to drinking his whiskey from a Sippy Cup again.

    P3 looks to me like Marty is broadcasting from the outhouse….

    P1 - Wonder Twin powers ACTIVATE!

    Derek - “Form of a mud puddle” Coach Kaz - “Shape of a muscle bound meat head … oh wait, I’m that already.”

    P3 - Just once, I’d love to hear Marty’s voice … does he get high a squeaky when the games get tense and his brown starfish puckers? Or does his tone never change from the first pitch to the final out?

    I don’t think Marty puts much effort into this gig. His real money comes from doing radio spots for “Ethel’s Pick Your Parts Auto Salvage” over in Goshen.

    Cortez will do his Ryne Duren impression and become the closer Gil wants so he pull his Huang anytime he wants.

    Cortez is way too big. I predict years from now, he’ll be convicted of obstruction to justice.

    Thanks for the props kdizzle. Ryne Duren went to an Air Force base in the early 50’s, where they had radar on a runway. It took him half an hour to throw the ball in the area where it could be measured. I saw him in Yankee Stadium when I was a kid, and I thought he was very scary, and very cool. Is Marty’s microphone some kind of cheese grater?

    Welcome to a season of “The Bullpen from Hell” Miflord style.

    What up Tribe fans?

    I loved watching Ryne Duren pitch. Bluedarter, if you thought he was very scary, think of the poor batters facing him. He usually threw at least 1 warmup pitch to the backstop. Then the dark glasses. Plus the 90% chance that he was either hung over or still a little buzzed would make them weak in knees.
