    Suspensions. Fines. Eject ’em. Expel ’em. Double secret probation for everybody.

    How in the hell did Goshen get so good? Fifth-year seniors? Rampant and unchecked booster support? Steroids? Somebody’s gotta be on the take or just plain incompetent to let this slide. No school can get this good without SMU-level cheating.

    Or do Rubin and Whigham not care about the success of Milford sports anymore? Might as well forget there were even playdowns in the first place.

    So she was blaming Bobby. The last we saw, Mom Kiser was thanking Dinny and Bobby for playing with Jaxon and was holding the kid. How can it be Bobby’s fault that Jaxon got on the field? Let’s have some continuity here, please.

    Well we know why they lost. Their star Picher was distracted by child care, and the catcher was distracted by her love for the star picher and was ejected for defending her (the picher’s) honor.

    So the batter was in the box and Amanda just shoved her over? That doesn’t seem likely. I feel like a strip was left out somewhere.

    Ahhh…The return of Amazon Ump. Where are Mimi and Glory? No support or supervision of MILFord Softball? Are Mimi and Gil becoming like Coach Klein of “The Waterboy?” Maybe they should get matching Roy Orbison tats from Ransom and a bootleg DVD.

    Darby must love Bobby to depend on him like that & get so upset. Poor Amanda.

    I think the ump is actually ejecting Amanda for biting off a couple of her fingers. It looks like that pointy finger got nibbled all the way down to the first knuckle.

    …now it is obvious why Dr. Pearl was watching the game….Mimi has lost complete control of the squad! A toddler running out on the field, thug players and a general lack of institutional control! Wildcat will surely have something to say….

    Catcher taking out the batter? Too wierd even for a comic.

    What does “torches” mean? Is that new talk or old slang? And I agree that the catcher-batter business is as big a mystery as Bobby’s strategy for winning Darby.

    What the “Gil Thorp” strip has always needed more of is a good benches-clearing brawl.

    I think “torches” means “burns him a new one”.

    Not sure I understand what has transpired between catcher and batter……..an assault in the batter’s box? Unusual I am sure for prison baseball, and in 16 year old girl’s softball?

    Like I said the other day, apparently the catcher stuck her leg behind the batter and shoved her over backwards. Just too odd of a thing to do. I would think that would warrant a suspension by the league.

    Although it was nice of the ump to show up 5 minutes later and eject her. Where was she, in the ladies room?
