Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 18, 2014

wow . . .

The right fielder threw a dart all the way to third? Now if it was a Jart, that would make more sense…

But the highlight wouldn’t be Lucky’s face plant. How about the other players who had big hits, or the pitcher who held the opponent to two runs? They’re not thinking about Lucky’s face plant, they’re thinking about how well they did.

MHS must be a very affluent school district to afford that chartered bus in P1. That’s a huge aisle between those rows of seats. Our buses have such narrow aisles that the players have to turn sideways to walk to the back.

That looks like Wynn Wiley doing the belly rub.

Ah, Lucky goes deep.That reminds me, where’s Amy?

In all reality, the Vallet Tech Techies will devise a secret weapon to short circuit Luckys luck but before that he is appearing at Milford Downs so degenerate horse players can rub him for luck and also at St Anthonys Bingo Bonanza.

“Lucky goes deep.” And Kaz is still gasping for air in the shower.

I realize rubbing Lucky’s head is good for luck, but I’m not feeling so good about that guy rubbing his belly.

In all reality, Jarts have been banned in the US since the 80s. They were great fun at picinics but the game usually stopped when someone got a Jart in the back.

Today Lucky hits one out of the park, but does Mopped Up Thorp do the same? Or is it just a routine grounder?

Well they changed them. They weren’t allowed to have the big metal spike version, so they made them where the bottoms are rounded and all plastic, so they bounce and wobble back and forth instead of impaling things.

“And Lucky goes deep!”

That’s what she said!

I still have the original Jarts with the deadly metal heads. A person or pet could easily be killed with a misplaced throw. Much better than the new, safe version though.
