Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for June 20, 2012

Wow, a rare Al-Jo reference, plus evidence that Dinny hasn’t given up yet. Remember weeks (months?) ago when he got Darby’s phone number, supposedly for Bobby, then called her himself? He does seem to consider himself a co-boyfriend. Maybe those Milford moms were right, and this is weird, at least from Dinny’s perspective.

Dinny has reality issues.

When does the catcher move in on him? Or is she a switch-hitter?

She can’t be a switch hitter; she plays softball.

Al-Jo? Dinty Moore? Yawn. Good to see Derek Tolan. Haven’t seen Bobby Ottewill on the bump lately. He should be well rested.

I always wondered how those softball girls in shorts managed to slide into base without tearing the skin off their knees. P2 explains it all. Some different kind of “rump” slide that looks vaguely similar to a wild run down a water slide.

Oh no! Locking lips! Next thing you know Jaxxon has a sibling.

Where is Marty Moon,and a hard-hitting investigative report about the issues of the softball team? I would like to hear Darby say to him “That’s a clown question, bro.” I assume Marty is at the Jerry Sandusky trial, hoping to hear Sandusky say he saw Gil in the shower too.

Derek going with the mustache and goatee. Spiffy.

P3 – How odd for him to say “our girl” when Bobby’s not even there. He would just say “my girl”.

Javis White would never have said “our girl.” What a beta.

Lips locked and loaded, sir!

Attention Gilford fans. In P1, we have an exploding mitt. Thanks Amanda for being our slumpbuster.
