Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 23, 2017

Where’s everyone else while this conversation is going on? Ryan looks like he is fleeing from Gil, not that I blame him.

Uh, oh … I have the sinking feeling that Dafne, angry that the story was pulled from the Trumpet, will try something to provoke Ryan into hitting her so she can write a first-person narrative.

Boot him out of the time zone? What time zone is that, the 50’s?

If the girls from Central show up again Bobby’s off the team?

It makes me wonder why, if Gil has so much influence over events in The Valley how he hasn’t managed to influence his way into a few more State Championships.

I’m also left wondering just WTF Carla Diggs is, what she has to do with this story and why she’s taking calls from an 80-year-old man from a rival high school? I might already have this answer if the damned comment button worked.

Great comments this morning, Thorpians!

Today’s episode: Keeping our story straight

P-1: I tried to play it off to your youth and immaturity. Not sure that’s a good strategy when talking to a girl only 2 or 3 years past Junior High.

P-2: No matter what, remember a) ashamed, b) learned from it. Those two always work with Mimi.

P-3: If it happens again, I show you what physical abuse is really about. Good coaching job, Gil!

P2- Where is RVA blindly trotting to? A tiny pitching mound constructed by The Colony? 2nd base sliding area? Put me in coach. I’m ready to play….today.

And into (dramatic pause) The Twilight Zone (bah-dah-bap-bah!)

WAIT! Gil and Mimi jogging, that means school and the story is over! On the country club!

In all reality , Thanks Coach , got run over to the House of the Happy Ending Massage Parlor to get this kink worked outta my back.

Barely 16?
