Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 08, 2021

And since it’s June and you’re a senior, you’re outta here, so I wasn’t worried about you anyway. Fore!

P2 Are those baby booties he is wearing?

P3.5 at least you were focused enough to be at the plate this at-bat and put the ball in play, that’s the stuff second in the Valley is made of

P4 off my worry list but at the top of my loofah list, now let’s hit the showers and lather up

In all reality , I’d be worried about the team bus behind you running you and Zanie over. It really hurts Gil , I know .

A pat on the back from GilPa and Zane is ready to take on the world. Or at least dominate the pie eating Library Board.

Other things not on Gil’s worry list: winning, finding quality players on his own, player development, Mimi’s pool boy, football season, and basketball season, to name a few

P2: Nice concentration by Madison SS to not be fazed by the huge bat coming near his head. Perhaps it was the powder blue uni as opposed to their catcher’s puke green from 2 days ago.

P1, Insane Zane takes such a mighty swing it takes two panels to show it all.

P2, Yet another team that changes uniforms randomly. Or Maybe the catcher Saturday is also the libero.

P3, What, me worry?

Gil was apparently snoozing when Zany forgot to show up for his first AB!

Yeah the SS from the softball game 2 diamonds away

P 2 thought balloon: “…this kid hits like an old lady…”

Off the worry list and onto the pine with this 0 for 6 performance over the last two games.

Can we stop all of this ridiculous sports nonsense and get back to the Romeo and Juliet plotline or the riveting action at Milford Public Library?

P3- So he rips one and the game is over. Must be those sloppy joe’s again.

Hit ‘em where they ain’t, Zane. Hit ‘em where they ain’t.

Very classy of State Champion Gil to not harp on the genetic deficiencies of the Madison inbreeds that rendered them all brutally color-blind. Every uniform looks good to them, so Gil will save that fact for some obscure protest later in the season. Next level coaching.

Didn’t someone yesterday predict that Zane’s shot would be caught?

P1 – Zane had a very good looking swing yesterday, but today, as we switch cameras, it looks a little more feeble…

P2 – …as proven by the result. Considering the shortstop is bending over, in no hurry, and smiling, I don’t think that hit deserved a “KRAK!” rating.

P3 – Gil and Zane use poor judgement, as they sit down right in the path of the school bus. Either that, or the bus driver is tanked and just drove right up to the dugout.

And speaking of tanking, Mopped Up Thorp is never accused of tanking it.
