4/29/10
Hey, baseball is starting already, only on April 29th? Actually, even by Rubin’s standards we’re behind schedule…Last year’s opener was on April 14th. If you find today’s “action” of reading a list of names and positions as interesting as I do, why not read similar content on Wikipedia?
4/30/10
While the opponent’s are baffled by the home run ball that continues to go upwards forever, it’s time for the Mudlarks to celebrate. It’s great to “go wild” and all, but did you really have to go and take a dump in the dugout, dude?

4/29: Ease up, Jason! These season-opening lineup-setters are invaluable for those of us keeping score at home! (I have no life…I have no life…)
I do wonder exactly where Marty Moon has been exiled to. Looks like he’s broadcasting from the top of a nearby transmission tower. (Hopin’ for a lightning strike…)
4/30: Somehow, I doubt that the real-life Lewistown High would make their players wear uniforms with a big fat “L” on the front. Hey, it’s the Lewistown Losers!
And we all know what’s coming tomorrow: Slim Chance, staring into the middle distance, humming a Ray Wylie Hubbard tune, obviously undermining the team’s unit cohesion.

Didn’t anybody notice the great thing about 4/29? They recited the lineup and – NO JAMARR GADDIS!! We don’t have to think about him again until football season! Which will probably start about September 26th!

Heading into summer, we have a girl whose teammates don’t like her very much and a guy who has some minor scheduling conflicts between baseball and music. Oh, and the guy sings softly while pitching.
Gonna be a wild ride.

It may just be me, but it took me 5 minutes to find the guy that wasn’t celebrating in panel #3. Nice “where’s Waldo/Derek” moment Chief! Maybe if I turn the panel sideways and unfocus my eyes I will see Gil drinking a cold one in the dugout!

Good eye, Milfordian! It’s Slim, sulking way back in the dugout. Can’t wait for Saturday’s thrilling conclusion!

#5, I thought Slim was just taking a dump as well; elated for the home run but also a bit shy.

He’s not taking a dump, he’s doing the chicken dance! Geez!

4/30, panel one, what are they doing with their hands? Crunching a nut or something?
A HR that is still rising at the fence is an impressive feat of physics.

Why is #12 giving Bryce a nipple twist? Oh, yeah …. that’s the Mudlark’s idea of a celebration. Probably a “de-panting” next, followed by some noogies and towel-slapping!

Looks like that foul ball is gonna smack the guy taking a dump a la Gil last year. (God, will we ever have awesomeness like that again???? We can only hope and pray!)
I see Kaz is imitating Howie Mandel’s fist bump. It’s a little on the awkward side though.
Marty Moon is actually in his basement in a total drunken stupor.

No one says “I am so happy that I could shit”? No? Okay. I am going back to playing with my pet rock and listening to my 8-tracks.
10-4, good buddy.

4-29 panel 1 is one of those instant classics.
The pitcher has a third joint in his left arm, about halfway between normal people’s elbows and wrists. This allows him to display his glove from a unique angle.
Second, his grip is just remarkable. Looks like a combination of palmball and shot-put.
But best of all, the shadow people are back!!!
