Watch out for the Houston Astros this year. They just acquired a pitcher named Brad Peacock from Oakland.

And that damn 14-foot high hoop isn’t helping any, either.

OK, I can understand a shooting slump when a player can’t make any outside shots. But who ever heard of a slump that involved lay-ups? No team could possibly miss so many uncontested shots under the basket. Look at that guy in the third panel, he appears to have shot the ball lefthanded, but the ball has jumped a foot to the right.

Bobby’s sure acting (pea)cocky! I’m surprised the referees are allowing that kid in P3 into the game with that cheeseburger from The Bucket stuck to the side of his head.

P2 – Bobby asking for his weekly under the table payout?P3 – The long roadtrip continues. Looks like another gym with the backboard attached to the wall. Must be a lot of concussions in this league.

The SuperCuts in Milford is doing some dreadful things with hair.

That opponent in P3 must think the Manu Ginobili haircut is all the rage.

Hmm, so is tickling Kaz under the chin the way to get playing time now? Bobby appears to be getting just a little too friendly with his fingers in P2.

It’s nice to see the date finally got a speaking part in this strip. It has been far too long, and it’s good to know that 2/5 can’t shoot… which makes it a lot like Bobby.

Bobby, I have bad news for you. You can’t shoot as a result of a severely deformed right hand.

I am glad Kaz understands.

Mudlarks can’t shoot from 2-foot range.
