Al Drake looks like a ‘lifer’ at Channel G. Jimmy Piersall did sports for a TV station in Roanoke, VA in the 1970’s complete with the plaid sports jacket. Bet Al Drake has a closet full of them.
“We’re got a 1978 Ray Charles/ Stevie Wonder concert, a movie “The Ray Chapman Story,” and then we will show your kid plunking people. We brought in an ophthalmologist and a lawyer to do play-by-play. Sweeps week baby, give us a break Gil!"
What happened to the snarky catcher for the girl’s softball team? Mimi thought she could play D-1 in college but nary a word about her this season. Did she transfer to Oakwood to pursue Tod Andrews?
Oh no! We will not be sipping lemonade on Monday after all. Instead there will be more media frenzy building. We’ve got yet another week of this delightful story. Unless (perish the thought) they plan to drag this out another month and a half and have no summer story at all! I know they are the kings of dragging, but no way they can fill 6-7 more weeks. Hopefully next week we get to Gregggg’s last start, he gets shelled with the massive media coverage in attendance, Milford loses second place, and the Hammmms are never to be seen again!
And speaking of being seen, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is worth being seen, as opposed to today’s Gil Thorp.

Al Drake is missing a bigger story — Nomar Ramos has no sense of smell or taste yet has become a superlative chef.

I’m glad Gil changed his shirt before giving Mimi lessons on the correct technique for “chopping brocc-a-li!”

Send the camera crew anyway to expose the plagiarist in hiding and be done with him (if Vito from Goshen’s crew doesn’t beat you to it).

And most puzzling of all… with all that space on the bulletin board in P1, why do two of the three notes overlap?

And what the hell happened to Mimi? Did she run into The Joker and he carved a permanent smile into her face? Ouch.
