Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 30, 2016

Okay, so Sally Maglie is now the pitching coach for the boys’ team.

That Bader kid needs counseling—badly and right away. The kid’s carrying around a ton of guilt. This story line could go from bad to worse if young Bader doesn’t get help. We don’t need a teen suicide in this story. They occur too often in real life.

Ken Brown making someone else make something happen.

Nothing worse than a mouthy rival after a tragedy.

Hey, Barry stole that trophy from Gil’s desk!

In all reality , " You got it Kenny , premeditated murder with my fastball but wouldn’t emptying a clip from an AK 47 into the Valley Tech dugout make everything right ?

Young Master Bader taking matters into his own hands including ripping a big chunk of his hair out in P1.

If anybody is going to put a fastball into a VT players ear, shouldn’t it be Tru(e)? You know, to properly honor Boo.

I like the wooden base paths in P2. A very rustic, yet elegant feel.

Nothing could be finer than an errant throw to knock the spit out of Coach Drool.

I wasn’t expecting to see a Superman poster hanging up in young Bader’s room. Something along the lines of “Pictures of Lilly” by The Who came to mind.

Barry Bader definitely needs some counseling.

Sure, make the Arab the one to attack. Al-Qaedaing aside, let’s start the summer off with a Bench clearing brawl. It’s a great cathartic.

At what point will Gil realize that his second baseman isn’t there?

Oh my gosh, that poster in Bader’s room is awesome! Speculation on what it is? Normally I’d paste something over it in MUT (which I won’t work on until later) but that’s too goofy as it is already.The weird thing about that towel on the door? Barry doesn’t even have a hook on the door, it just “somehow” stuck that way. IYKWIM.

In all reality ,remember BLM = Boo’s Life Mattered !

Master Bader will get a job with Allstate, the Good Hands People

I don’t mean to racially profile but Ken is speaking to perhaps the palest ‘Hakeem’ on the planet…

@MOP: YES!!! You win today’s name that tune: " A Whiter Shade of Pale. Ellisburkes, tell MOP what he’s won…

Hakeem dusts off the batter. Next day’s Headline: So Sheik, Freak Out,…Dance Mob ends maudlin story line.

@Chiphilton: touche!

So the expectation is that Oakwood is going to taunt Milford about having a dead classmate? For real? C’mon, they can’t be that bad, can they? Guess we’ll see tomorrow. And speaking of seeing, if you want to be seeing today’s Mopped Up Thorp then just click on the link.

Sorry, I typed up the previous comment announcing today’s MUT about 7 hours ago and never hit the submit button. DOH!
