    Those shiners give him a bit of a Benicio Del Toro look. Does Pops have a split thumb in P2?

    I was thinking the same thing — what’s with the two thumbs? We’ve already seen Lucky’s fingers were fused when he was trying to throw. Must run in the family.

    And what’s with Dad laughing at his son in this situation? My father wasn’t Mr. Sensitive by any means, but he wouldn’t have thought this was funny at all.

    Now if the old guy with dementia from last summer would show up and beat up this poor waitress for spilling the root beer, then we’d have a storyline.

    Whatever that was in the pitcher changed his hair color. He was blonde up until today.

    This strip makes me want to pour a pitcher of root beer over my own head.

    Ahhh…..Springtime. When vaudeville’s Mudville 9, ERRR Milford 9 run amok. No pine tar issue with Lucky. He will keep a 6 pack of A & W Root Beer in his bat bag for a Spiderman like grip.

    Mr. Haskin’s hand is simply disturbing. I can’t take my eyes away from it.

    BTW, did anyone here ever post to Gil Thorp message board “The Bucket” on the Chicago Tribune’s site back in the day? Either when it was hosted by well engaged or http://forums.prospero.com/n/mb/listsf.asp?webtag=sp-bucket&ctx=0&cacheTag=x51-5&sts=3%2F3%2F2014+12%3A51%3A14+PM ? Sorry for the long url – it’ll take you to the defunct prosper site.

    In all reality, Mr Haskins was on the same motar team that former White Sox player Carlos May was on. You have to keep your thumbs away from the tube when firing.
