Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 12, 2023

Ready for what? Hmm …

Ready for a new, unresolved storyline or two…Let’s play a game called “What ever happened to…” I’ll go first. What ever happened to Keri and her PTSD about the school shooter drill?

Rod? Who?

Called it! No basketball playdowns!

P3.5 “It looks like you are too, Ben Dover.”

P3- Ready to finally fix those pesky holes in the fence that have endangered student athletes for decades? The liability exposure that keeps on giving.

P1: Thanks to Forrest Gump for the cameo appearance.

P2: That baseline marker must have a bad bearing. MHS budget cuts strike again.

P3: Cami Ochoa can’t be too happy dusting off home plate. I don’t remember ever seeing Kaz reduced to such a menial task.

Yay! Golf season!

I guess you don’t move on after you win the Conference anymore. A new season in the middle of the week it is.

P 4: Luke stands by the fence, fists clenched, and seething with rage

P-1: This is a social commentary. Rich people have acreage and ride zero turn radius mowers. While..

P-2: Gil puts down Weed & Feed on hid bald lawn.

P-3: Either the Archeologist is about to open the cursed tomb found on Gil’s lawn, or Cami is inviting Gil to participate in some rough foreplay.

That’s what you want in your head coach: mediocre enthusiasm.

WHAT. THE. HELL?

Prepping the fields is MY job!

P2- Yesterday Gil looked like a twenty year old and now he’s old and senile. He forgot to dump out the winter rock salt and can’t figure out why the grass is dead.

Today’s sound effects spelling courtesy of Sesame Street.

P3: Are the sound effects for cleaning the plate really “oi oi oi”? Oy is right…

Considering Gil’s commitment to coaching, his statement in P3 isn’t saying much. And speaking of saying much, I’d be saying a lot if I told you that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online.
