Sorry for the late post. Fortunately there’s nothing here to talk about anyway. Still, I’ll attempt to muster up a sentence about each panel…
1. Elmer performs in a vacuum.
2. Cue Six Million Dollar Man sound effect for the third baseman with the backwards arm.
3. Don’t make Andrew Gregory angry…you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry…(he even sprouts an extra angry half-face on his shoulder!)
I think that weird face thing is the little devil representing evil thoughts, and is going to recommend he report Elmer to the INS for his weak ass hitting. Unfortunately for Elmer, there is no angel on the other shoulder.

The batter looks like a girl. Does Title IX apply to high schools?
Hitting bullets is a waste of time and bullets.
If “bullet” means line drive, why is it bouncing while it’s still in the infield?

I predict that The Asshole Formerly Known As Curley Horse is gonna drop a dime to INS and get Elmullet deported.

So… wait… Andrew is upset at the lack of offensive support, so his solution is to get his cleanup hitter deported???

As Andrew fumes over the loss, #7 soothes HIS pain by enjoying a long look at his nude teammates.

I dunno. TAFKACH looks like he’s trying to squeeze something out in panel 3. Fiber up, gents.

Elmer with splodeyhead (with apologies to Jason, whose Gil head explosion knows no equal.)

Well crap, that’s TAFKACH with splodeyhead, of course. (It’s also another lesson in the importance of fiber.)

The third baseman’s arm isn’t backwards. That’s what you would expect to see when reaching across the body to backhand the ball. Notice the dot representing the ulnar protuberance — if the arm were on backwards that would be a line representing the fold of the elbow. The triceps isn’t well-defined but the direction clearly indicates that it is originating in the correct place.

If Gregory is giving up 2 runs on 4 hits, isn’t that also not that great? You may have limited the hits, TAFKACH, but if they’re hitting homers, who cares?

If you wouldn’t have pointed out that disembodied head I would have never noticed, or summarily been freaked out. What the hell is wrong with this strip?

Panel 2 strange looking baseball glove. Looks like one of those sponge gloves for washing the car. Still can’t get in that equipment shed, I guess.
The little extra head could be a quato. Not sure how to spell it.
