Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 03, 2016

Doesn’t this lawyer know you’re supposed to point a large finger at the person you’re talking to? #thorprules

Considering Del’s conversation and manner when he was leaving the bar, he hid his intoxication pretty well.

Barry seems to feel small second basemen need to stick together.

Bader? Pedroia?.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMaW9xmuhg0

Wikipedia tells me that Esquire is used in America to denote lawyers, but I’ve sure never seen it. Dennis & Lehane LLC would make more sense. If Esq. is going to be used, it would be after one person’s name. It’s not another way of saying Incorporated.

You’re absolutely right, Chip. “Esq.” is a social affectation individual lawyers use on correspondence; it wouldn’t be in a business title any more than you’d see a firm named “Ms. Dennis & Mr. Lehane.”.That being said, holy heck — I think Mopman just got handed a no-need-to-touch P3 two days running.

So this is what passes for going at it in Milford. What a let down. I guess that’s Milford’s answer to birth control.

Do we know which lawyer this guy is or is this more like I’m Dickens, He’s Fenster? Regardless, I’m not sure how much I’d trust a lawyer with 3 empty frames with broken glass in them as his credentials.

Grand Master Bader should have consulted with a real professional drinker like Marty before he ever went to Central City. He would have been able to tell him to never, ever take the breathalyzer. He’s screwed now. Marty might have even been able to get him a frequent flyer discount at his firm, Dewy, Cheatum and Howe. Live and learn Del, live and learn

Obvious Red Sox rooters. Dennis Lehane is a noted novelist from Boston. Cleverness continues. Is Big Papi going to be a bailiff in court when Dennis Lehane goes Johnnie Cochran and shows that Bader’s driving gloves(everybody in Milford wears them) don’t fit, so you must acquit?

In all reality , P 3 " Look Mr Bader I don’t think you’re taking this seriously , wearing a clown nose is not going to impress the judge and forget about doing W Fields impersonations with it on."

Eyeball-popping revelation – he’s just learning he blew a .17?

Ken Brown is about to make it happen. I see a young Bader stuck in a locker later this week.

Whoo boy, “blew a 17” and talking about “legal limit”. I’m not sure about this one…

Mr. Bader, it’s not good when your BAC is higher than your son’s IQ.

So they’ve been “going at it” for hours, arguing about Dustin Pedroia? I couldn’t have dreamed a lamer scenario for “going at it.”Well, I had a chance to take the high road for today’s Mopped Up Thorp and not go for the low brow gutter humor that Rubin and Whigham set up for me in P3. But, of course, I took the low road.

MOP’s MUT beat me; but it can’t stop me!You blew a .17. – Well .16 is consent in this state. – So, you want me to tell the judge you’re a consensual drunk?

Question: Here’s what we really want to know. Does the second baseman wear Jockey’s? or with his hobby does he prefer “Boxers”? of course, if he’s excitable about something as stupid as Pedroia; I’m betting he’s more apt to go “brief”.

Marty Moon just invited Esq. to play Candy Crush Saga!

I just can’t get past how one wins the argument by getting another to “Admit” that your prediction is “Right”. Damn you, and your twisting labyrinth of logic, Barry Bader!

@Ellisburkes: as a kid I would have asked you to include Nellie Fox to that list. Probably the only player who’s Tops Bubble gum card was worth having from the White Sox in those years.

P-2 perspective question: Just how high are the ceilings in the Mud Lark’s locker room?

P-4: Well, that helps. I’m an illegal. What’s more than twice the illegal limit?

Jerry Mathers “as the Beaver” eavesdrops in panel one.
