Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 28, 2016

Is there any chance the Biff nickname will circle around and mean something later, or is this just wasting a couple of days until Bader gets sentenced or baseball games start?

When reciting the players “around the infield”, do you say 3rd, short, 2nd, 1st? Will Ken Brown be making everything happen on 1st base?

Could they draw her any uglier in panel one?

Mimi has decided that she and Gil are just BFFs.

But will Ken Make Things Happen at first base?

Hmmm, BFF’s with benefits? Guess Boo’s not going to Wake. And who’s the dude in the picture taped to her locker?

It looks like Marty started early today. His pupils are so dilated there’s no color left in his eyes. I wonder if he’ll join Grand Master Bader for happy hour? On second look, Gil’s looking mighty cross eyed himself in P3.

In P4 Marty asks Gil, “I hear that young Master Bader is pretty feisty.”Gil, " Yeah, that boy never misses a beat."

Marti is interviewing Gil with his calculator!

In all reality, Gil truly means the above mentioned players will literally be scattered around the infield with no fixed positions. Milford will put a shift on for every hitter and this will revolutionize baseball. Way to go Gil.

Marty so bored he’s playing Candy Crush on his phone while Gil pretends he knows his lineup.

Infield is always announced-introduced third to first.

BrownStarfish- Boo lusts over her Keanu Reeves pic. Almost spit my coffee with your P4 reference. What great fun we will have this Summer, err, Spring with a team comprised of familiar names. The fast girls at Milford like the Mike Granger slogan, “Get it, Got it, Good.” Who could have forseen the bastard son of Sterling Archer joining the pitching rotation? With home starts, Hakeem will warm up to K-Log’s “Danger Zone.”

True’s a preppie. His dad doesn’t want the relationship to work. Pretty soon we’ll find out “Love means never having to say you’re sorry,” and Erich Segal will be wanting some royalties from Neal and Rod.

Yeah, okay, whenever a coach is announcing his team, he always starts with who is the closer? And what’s with this “preppie at heart”? There has been absolutely nothing in the way Tru(e) has acted in the last 2 years that was remotely “preppie”. Unless trying to drive to Hawaii counts. And speaking of counting, you can count on today’s Mopped Up Thorp being ready.

@MUT: great art work in P-1.

Now we know. Gill’s Left handed and does things in reverse order. Being Left handed, he’s highly creative (State Champion Coach with acrobatic cheerleaders employed in goal line stands) and Mr. Reality is probably right about us never being sure “Who’s on first”. (or is it the Chinese Little Leaguer Hu’s?)

At probably any of our high schools, two of the three pitchers named would be playing skill positions. What a luxury for Gil.

Argh. My high school coach (who just went through the motions) would bat our best hitter fourth. Fine. If he pitched, however, he would bat ninth!! Just like on TV!! Drove. Me. Crazy.

Since BitsyTwill won’t accept any of my advances, is Boo available?

I think Segal and Gill are about the same age.

I miss the lineup cards written in Gil’s girlish cursive…
