Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 15, 2020

P2.5: Mimi rushes out to first base and offers encouraging words to Jamila.

“Get up, you suck! This isn’t soccer! There’s no bones sticking out so you can still play!”

“You’re right, Coach. I can still pitch! Can you get me a bar stool?”

“Not today. Marty’s using it. Besides, you can’t pitch. At all! Finally a reason to assign you to the bucket and towel brigade!”

“Well….anything for the team. Do I have to look after the loofahs, too?”

“Of course not! You’re not on the boy’s team!

“Well…okay. Maybe one day I can be…”

“Your last name isn’t Bono! And not the musician, the other one! Now git!”

“IT’S MY LEG!!!!! IT’S MY LEG!!!”

AD Gil should have splurged for those double first bases.

Walk it off . . . walk it off . . .

“Come Here Watson”. But wait a minute — If Watson pitches, Who’s on first?

Oh the drama ,who will Coach MimI bring into pitch,in all reality I can hardly wait to find out .

Valley Tech is coached by Coach Drool’s wife and she employs chip on the shoulder aggressive play on the field much like her husband, old slobber puss. Jamila will have finish this game on the pine, not waxing poetry, but waxing her moustache.

P1, Hmm, we haven’t seen any big hand frames for a while, could R&W be developing a foot fetish?

P2, It’s my foot. Maybe my ankle. Or my groin. Suddenly Mimi’s eyes light up. . .

P3, Mimi, “Well, there’s a first time for everything, Jamila but not today.”

P 4: “…because the ump ejected you for interfering with the base runner…”

P 4: “…but I brought my ‘rally hippo’…”

This upcoming loss is on Mimi. Another season without any championships. It’s time the Milford A.D. reviews the entire coaching department.

Genius Alexa should have done it unassisted. I guess with Mimi’s team heading out of the playdowns, it’s time to focus on the meaningless exhibition game with the gang that can’t catch flies.

Spray some Windex on it.

She’s faking. I’m pretty sure someone would be able to tell the difference from their ankle hurting and their foot. And it doesn’t look like Mimi’s really paying attention, as she’s nowhere close to looking at Jamila’s foot/ankle.

And speaking of paying attention, pay attention when I tell you that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.

So tomorrow, whomever the lucky scapegoat is comes in to pitch in relief and gets shelled. Milford loses, second place chance is shot, and no girl juvenile softball matchup to look forward to. Girls, you be done.

This situation is clearly discriminatory. If this were the boys’ team, Coach Gilpa would have the team’s trainer, Ben Gay, out there looking after this and also providing a groin massage as a protective measure against possible sprained groin muscles.

P-1: In the old days, she would have described this as being Spiked. In the Milford Time Warp she just got Gym Shoed.

P-2: Mimi tries to steal the mitt. Something about handling things with a kid’s glove.

P-3: but, I can still pitch. Listen to this: “New from Popiel – the Waterless Slip and Slide!”
