Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 04, 2022

Down $1100 on the night, are we?

Looks like he’s sweating out a few close ones.

Gordon doesn’t know his teammates’ names yet or both teams are wearing the same unis?

Is the sweat from his game or did Pranit bet on New Thayer? Leg breaking coming up?

P1: I did not know that Dabney Coleman was a New Thayer alum/booster.

Gordon Achebe makes his debut, and his first act is to replace the fluorescent lights above the bleachers.

P4 “No Coach Kaz, I’m viewing porn, now f*** off!”

P2.5 “Great, thanks dude, next time break somebody’s nose or ribs, wearing the other colored uniforms, with your elbow.”

In all reality , didn’t know that Gordon “No” Achebe was Kenny Brown’s cousin . Guess non achievers and people who can’t make it happen are family legacies .

Kaz to Pandora Hey check the Bulls score ,in all reality, I have 2 dimes on them to cover. You got any action tonight ?

P2- confusing as it is snarkers, Gordo’s elbow met the enemy. I can’t wait for GilPa to run the picket fence with Gordo.

Yeah, so? You never score checked before.

P2: The Big Man makes things happen!

Between the cold sweats, vacant look in his eyes and Coach Kaz (complete with two MIB aliens growing off his shoulders) giving him the smug “I’m on to you look”, I think Pranit is about to get his overdue comeuppance. But of course, in Milford time that will be about three weeks from now.

Pranit sweating like he actually played in the game.

P 4: “..Siri!….what is the score of the lakers-clippers game…”….“…uh, sorry, I wasn’t listening….what did you ask me coach?…”

3 rebounds? Apparently, he’s being introduced a little at a time. When he finally, plays regular minutes his stats may make him an Over-Acheber.

P-3: a snarker tribute to the old NY Jets’ commercial: “If you’re going to play, SCORE.”

Pranit’s reply: Yes, coach, I want to know if we’ve moved up to second in the Valley.

“Yeah Coach, it says here that we won. Is the app broken?”

P 4: “… heck no, coach… I’m just reading Mopped Up Thorp….this guy just ‘effin nails it every day, especially with you… haha…”

P 4: “…no…I’m on Tinder lookin’ for some post-game action….hey!…isn’t this pic that Kelly girl that you’re friends with?…”

P3- It’s Pranit’s brother Bob. “Have you ever heard of a guy named Vito, from Goshen?”

Hoping for more playing time, Gordon levels his own teammate, and Planet Smoothie is next!

Dang, I’m getting as far in the hole as Pranit (I assume) is. I had a G on Gordon fouling out in his first appearance. And who the heck elbows their own teammate in a game?

Ah, here we go. Is this gambling issue going to be “resolved” by Kaz? Is that why he’s featured and not Gil? Let me guess, eventually Kaz will give this dramatic story about how he used to gamble all the time, and almost lost his home/car/life savings, and try to set the kid(s) on the straight and narrow. I’m calling up Vito and see what odds he’s giving on that being the future of this story.

And speaking of the future, I see in your near future the reading of today’s Mopped Up Thorp – https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

No, coach, I’m scoring checks.

I still wonder what’s going on with the Milford kids. Why are they always profusely sweating long after the game is over? Someone take his temperature. Unless it’s because he’s reading a threatening email from Vito about paying back his losses, he needs to see a doctor.
