Ask the Chicago Cubs!

Also, Milford just got in a recreational marijuana shop. GilPa is plainly higher on more than just life!

P1, Where’s the beef?

P2, A lot of new shower talent. Are you optimistic?

P3, And speaking of tulips, Marjie, could you help a brother out?

P1 Where was Eldrick Boston during the b-ball season, such that it was? How big is this dude???

P3: Gil loves the smell of napalm in the morning

P1- Eldrick Boston. The new Big Ken Brown. Or Cortez Beecher. Or Marcel Irby. A long line of making nothing happen.

P2- Anyone else notice by going outdoors Marjie got rid of that bowl cut from the past 2 days and now has the video vamp come hither hairdo.

P3- GilPa has Lou Rawls “Love is in the Air.” playing in his head.

Only two power hitters in lineup? Boston Strong to set new Valley record for intentional walks.

And speaking of Two Lips Gill c’mere!

and like tulips, Optimism dies a month later

Snore…..

Gil experiences The Rapture

Two power hitters and one pitcher—of course he’s optimistic! Maybe Chance the Snapper will decide he wants to be shortstop and put Ruh Roh back on the bench!

….and stinks like the onion grass growing in the outfield!

“So, Boston’s on first. Then who’s on second?”

“No, Foreigner’s on second. Then Aerosmith’s on third. Who’s not playing at all.”

“What?”

I have More than a Feeling Boston should be hitting fourth.

As snow starts to fall on Gil’s upturned face!

Meanwhile Mimi gets bad news My Dearest Mimi, I have been detained by the authorities . I will not be able to provide you with the services you desire. Good luck with your baseball season. I miss u. XXX ! Pedro

P 4: “…I can practically smell it….2nd place in the Valley…aahhhh….”

Hope springs eternal.

I hope Boston is dating Amanda from the softball team.

P3 – “Worship me, Mifordians all! I am the great Thorp! State Champion Thorp to you. Bow before my greatness!”

And speaking of greatness, that might be going a little too far, but today’s Mopped Up Thorp is at least decent.
