Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 06, 2022

…Scooter Borden, who’s undergoing a growth spurt.

Chance Macy is going to be blowtop mad when he finds out he’s still stuck in GT world

P 1.5 “Ummm Gil, is that a cruller in your hand or are you just happy to see me?”

Nice job on Gil’s floors Mop. He likes them extra shiny for those upskirt moments when cub reporter Heather Burns stops by.

It took three days, but we finally got the pitcher-catcher thing sorted out, even though it doesn’t clarify any of the dialogue that was going on

In all reality , great job Gil you remembered the names of all your starters except for secònd. You know I forgot my Prevagin but remembered to take my Viagra knowing you were stopping . Oh Gil , you smooth talking devil !

Wait a minute… Who’s on First?

P4- Yeah, Tiger Boston hits it a mile thanks to attending the Kevin Pelwicki seminar of launch angles. The kid uses some special bat he named Wonderboy.

So are Gregg Hamm and Nomar Ramos relief pitchers, or is Gil just mentioning that he likes them? And is Nomar Ramos, the almost-palindrome, also in the outfield? Is this because he’s so versatile, or did not enough players sign up this year to fill all the roster?

Chance Macy will start getting baseball scholarship offers from schools like Arizona and USC and will refuse even to open them.

Scooter!!

Re Panel #2, an extreme close up of Gilpa who is kind of grinning and waggling his eyebrows. Is he hitting on his former student?

I’d play Nomar at shortstop, possibly moving him to first.

…and I Don’t Know is on third.

She asked for your opening day starter, not your entire lineup. Geesh.

Wait, who’s on first?

Wow! A mini notepad and pencil. Old school. No need for a smart phone recorder in Milford because they don’t have them yet anyway.

“I do not like Gregg Hamm . . . I do not like him, Sam-I-Am.”

I do not think I will be able to sleep tonight not knowing who is at 2nd base.

Is it just a coincidence that there are so many players with reversible names on the roster?

Gil’s desk must be about 16" wide. And how can she write anything with that swollen hand?

Get outta my face in P2

I was going to tell Mopman that I finally reached the point where I could find no more older posts, so I must have found the first Mopped Up Thorp. Now I’m reading the newer ones up to the point where I first discovered it. I don’t remember how to stop reading once I get to the first one I saw.

Geez, he’s making Heather practically sit on the floor. Is that how he thanks her for the donuts? And ooh, a HUGE cliffhanger! Who is the second baseman? It wouldn’t be Scooter by any chance, would it? Unless that’s the drama, that he isn’t a starter and he’ll be wreaking havoc on their second place dreams due to this injustice. And speaking of injustice, it would be an injustice if you failed to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

I’m very disappointed that nobody spelled Gregggg Hammmm’s name correctly today. I’m going with that from now on.

Chance Macy is the only name I’ve ever heard of. Kind of like my Cubs these days.
