Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for March 28, 2013

Suddenly, I . . .

. . . I miss the peacock.

There. I’ve said it.

I miss the peacocks.

Quit playing fast pitch softball 10 years ago. It took me forever to convince the coach to let me lead off, as well, instead of third or fourth. That gave me more opportunities to steal, too :) I ended up averaging a steal a game and scoring at least once per game so it paid off.

Knox seems like an interesting combination of self-absorbed dunce and brainy, precocious legal version of Doogie Howser.

I wonder if Papa Foley has Hard Knox chasing ambulances on his mophed?

Alas, no one will deck this kid. Maybe an opposing pitcher will go for the bean ball.

I think the writers are now punishing us for our past ridicule.

I hope I’m not jumping ahead of things here, but if Aames is the guy who fell on the ice, is that really the kind of thing you would need a lot of precedent research for?

Now there’s a novel thought – a (future) lawyer interested in becoming adept at stealing. I’ll bet that’s never happened before

Toxic rain…even the streetlamps are melting.

Perhaps he can sue to go to the head of the lineup?

There is a big law firm in Charlotte called ‘Knox Law Center’. Maybe that’s where Knox’s name comes from with the tie to his father being a lawyer.
