Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 19, 2024

“I should get four strikes because I’m a girl!”—Lucy

Guess she didn’t “got this.”

… how is the final score 1? I’m not asking incrediuously, entirley, I dont’ follow baseball. But ther’es 9 innings. How did they get ZERO points.

I guess Dotty needed that sub after all.

Whigs has really been getting into big balls this week. Just sayin’…

Pitchers are ahead of hitters early in season.

Fistpump Ump making the family proud.

She even strikes out pretty.

Why does she gotta “ got this” after pitching the entire game and only giving up one run? It sounds like no one on that team can hit. Run your mouth some more, Toe.

Fire the hitting coach.

Wow, she didn’t even foul one off?

P1- Who plays fast pitch softball trying to hit with a fungo bat? Welcoming failure.

P3- Never seen an umpire wear a glove, a white glove at that. Somewhere, Michael Jackson is smiling. TEE HEE!

Dorothy needed to be brought back to earth. She’s gotten a bit full of herself.

And why does the winning score always get announced last? I thought that Moon was supposed to be sober.

Pack it in ‘Larks softball fans, this season’s over.

Her new nickname: “Mighty Casey.”

fire cami and hire jun jun she will at least make sure they have clean uniforms

who thought something different would happen after strike two ?

does inma wear her hibjib in team shower ?

after the game keri cleans dotty up with some irish spring

The final score should read Valley Girls 1, Mudlarks 0.

Yeah, Dottie failed, but this isn’t really karma or anything. She apparently pitched great, and that was what was expected from her. Nobody else did jack squat at the plate either, she just happened to make the last out. And speaking of out, a replay of this final at bat just came out, and it features audio from the umpire’s hidden microphone. You can only see it at Mopped Up Thorp.

I believe it was Mike Tyson who said “Smelling pretty doesn’t help you against the 70mph rising softball”

Can we have one day of the “new” Gil Thorp with no errors relative to how contests are actually played or those who participate in them?

Another Groucho Marx zapper

“…yeah, get me the Jersey Mike’s Vegan Special but tell ‘em don’t let Jami Thorp make the delivery. He slobbered all over the apple chips the last time and I had to pitch ‘em to the raccoons in the woods.”
