The Dugout: Tampa Bay Rays Spring Training 2011

If any installment in The Dugout Spring Training 2011 deserves the grown-up graphic, this is the one.

Manny Ramirez, Johnny Damon and Kyle Farnsworth now play for the same team. The upside of this is that three of the most fun characters to write in the history of the strip are always going to be side-by-side, interacting with each other, going on crazy misadventures and teaching us something important about the love of baseball. The downside of this is that I've got exactly three days left to do Dugouts on FanHouse.

Regardless, Farnsworth will show up somewhere, even if I have to do a White Ninja style comic about him. Tonight's Dugout follows.
