Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for September 20, 2014

Zing went the strings of his elbow.

Those hands tho

Sea legs? Gil paying homage to Talk Like a Pirate Day one day late.

ARRRGGHHH!!! Get yer sea legs back matey? Holy cow! It must have been a looooong drive to Hawaii.

Whoa! It looks like Don Stebbins might be practicing that Heisman pose just a little early.

Small window? Stebbins looks to have at least a yard-and-half on his defender.

Pick six

In all reality, why with a 33 / 0 lead and a bulldozer front line is Gil passing instead of running and keeping the clock moving or did True decide to pass ignoring Gil ?

P3 – That’s what she said!

Pick 6 ruins shutout, J-Dog rallies the mateys against Tru.I hope his father ends up walking the plank.

To give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe they’re just hoping to pick up a small gain through the air to convert the third-and-five, so that they can then keep the ball on the ground and run out the clock. But yeah, True shouldn’t be trying to get his “sea arm” back at this point in the game. He should try a simple lob to Stebbins (who has a step and a half on the defender) rather trying than to “zing” it.

Why is the slot back wearing cycling shorts?

Pogoreader, you’re right, that slot back is going to scrape his knees dressed like that.

Sears Tower in background of P1.

Quite possibly the new corporate offices of Maris Industries. As Wildcat is entertaining his corporate associates, True’s daddy Art has had one too many and is nose pressing the bullet proof window mumbling, “I coulda been a contenda.”

In all reality , the Sears Tower is now the Willis Tower but most Chicagoans still call it the Sears Tower just like Macys is still Marshall Fields. What you talkin about Willis.

Hopefully, Tru(e) doesn’t throw the pick-6 and lose the shutout. (Or could make an interesting storyline)

…beginning to realize we have a lot of Chicago guys on this board, myself included…wonder why?

PS- ranelson43, a relative new comer, called the pick 6 yesterday, i think he’s gonna be proven right!

Gil going back to his early Frank Sutton look in P1

What is Gil’s left hand up to in P1. Turn your head and cough, Tru.

In all reality , in re Chicago guys posting, could it be because for years the Tribune featured Gil Thorp in its Sports Page .

Looks like ranelson43 might have called it Friday:

Late 4th Qtr: Scrubs are brought in; True throws a pick-six. Shutout vanishes.

Definitely a pick-6, Jarrod(e) will then really ream out Tru(e).

Not likely anyone, or hardly anyone, will see this, but I’ve done MUT for the missing days last week (16th through 20th). You’ll have to scroll down to read up in order (if it even matters).AND, a special bonus, a crossover strip courtesy of “For Better or For Worse”!I’ll post this note in Monday’s comments as well.
