Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 30, 2015

Marty relaxing with his sippy cup of Popov and a cigarillo in P2. In P3 it looks like #8 might have overrun that popup a bit maybe leading to some actual baseball action on Monday. Or, we’ll be off to Boo’s game. Which might it be? Stay tuned!

And today’s musical interlude, " there’s a man with a gun over there" waiting for the pitch.

Tru finds out there’s scouts in the crowd and starts punching the crap out of New Thayer, hoping for a tryout with the Charlestown Chiefs. OR he comes in, gets a save and impresses the scouts, blah blah blah

Good to see Marti back in his crap-shak with his sippy-cup and cigerette!

New Thayer is so confident in their pitcher, they’re playing Ol’ Pegleg out in right field.

I wonder how fast that fence is going.

Ahhh, the rites of Spring. Mudlark baseball, mass media coverage you can DIG into, the aroma of Swisher Sweets and liquor farts waffling from the tinderbox. Yep, I would call Coach Thorp State Champ Free Mask Night quite a success.

So Monday it’s a miracle lucky rally to take the lead, and then an excuse to get Tru(e) in front of the scouts to save the game? And either receive scholarship offers or blow out his arm. Speaking of blowing, here’s today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Thought those trees were a graph charting Gil’s popularity in Milford.

P-1: The scout is so bored with this storyline he’s pointing his hairdryer at the infield. If Tru blows the save, will he get BOOed?

P-1 is a long shot view. Wade giving them plenty to see means he’s exposing himself on the mound. Check the hand position

Castillo? Who’s on first?
