Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 12, 2022

P3: OK, He….goes….full…steam…and…we…need….that. Got it!

Leo Durocher on another “E”— Eddie Stanky. “He can’t hit, he can’t run, he can’t field. All he can do is win.”

Kaz wants him to be team barista for his cappuccinos. You can see how disappointed he is in the current beverage

Kaz using the Boo Radley commemorative mug he got at the ribbon-cutting ceremony of her first Little Free Library.

If Gilpa and Kaz are buying Eli’s line of crap are they that gullible or just lazy?

P4 “Poor average, does’t walk much…now we just need to figure out how to get him on base two or three times a game to take advantage of that scooooter speed…but d*mn, look at the video Kaz, he’s got some mad skills with the loofah and we’ll need that too!”

In all reality , he goes full steam, he’s a great addition to the showers .

P1 not sure what exactly is going on between the tennis player cankle exhibition and the growth on Eli’s right *ss cheek

Scooter is the Pee Wee Morris of this squad. What this team needs is Tommy Turner and some moral turpitude.

Scooter Braun and Scooter Gennett show it doesn’t hurt a ball player to have the name… Didn’t do Scooter Libby much good. It’s real name of several hundred people in the US, why are the players so weirdly bent out of shape over it?

If I was giving myself the nickname for that, I think I’d go with Charlie Hustle, but that’s just me.

Nice to see that Kaz and Gilpa brought their golf coffee mugs today. BOGI. They need to “work” a little harder this summer at MCC to get that handicap down.

P 1.5: “…I thought about using ‘Big D*** Nick’, but ‘Scooter’ sounded better…”

Eddie Stanky on Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. Stanky was quoted as saying, “he may be an All Star from the neck down but in my book he’s a moody ballplayer…and I don’t like moody ballplayers.” Red Sox fans were incensed and let Stanky and the White Sox have an earful, as well as throwing tomatoes at him whenever he went to the mound when the Sox went to Boston the following week.

When I was in sixth grade, a girl in my class demanded that everyone call her Twiggy. No one complied.

P 2.5: “…either I’m an annoying little kid or a dweeb…”

Is this a sly shot at Scooter Libby?

They need Scooter’s hustle because the rest of the team is malingerers.

He goes full steam. It’s too bad that Goshen goes full electric.

Maybe that’s how Gil got the job at MHS. He showed up at the job interview, introduced himself as “Coach Thorp,” and they said “welcome aboard.”

Oddly getting no graphics today. Seeing comments but no cartoon

My very close friends have called me Scooter since our high school days.

“So we’ll sit the kid that can turn the double play and hit!”

Assuming Charissss is the owner of a couple of those legs we’re seeing, she’s completed her third change of clothing since Scooooter and his band showed up. Tennis is going to get very popular with the boys going forward! And speaking of forward, I’m sure you’ve been looking forward to reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
