Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for August 06, 2016

Whoa, mighty Leisl at the bat. I wonder if she still takes that unnecessary dribble before she shoots.

Cameo by Fist Pump Girl in P2. So does Tru bring Barry to The Bucket to appease Coach Thorp and so we can all learn a Valuable Lesson and move on from this? We’ll have to find out what happens to Del before this all wraps up.

Jeez, those guys in the background in P3 look like they’re ready for a rumble, not a milkshake. And let’s face it, there’s no need to hold tables at The Bucket. It’s not nearly as popular as it used to be.

Milford girls are tough, sliding without knee covers. Today has it all…victory, tears of joy, showers. No one has “hustled” to get to The Bucket since 1979.

When did the runner start sliding in P1, when she rounded 3rd? She seems to be about to stop and home plate isn’t in the picture. And I know you can’t block the plate anymore, but that catcher is playing some serious matador defense.

Pedro will be pleased if Mimi brings Leisl home for a threesome.

Big Ken Brown isn’t too happy about a trip to The Bucket since that last milkshake indirectly contributed to Boo’s demise.

In all reality ,Barry will sit alone at the Bucket with silent tears running down his cheeks . A clumbsy waitress will trip spilling root beer all over him and everyone will laugh even Barry. True will say " Get over here Barry you knuckle head, we still love you ,all is forgiven.

In all the excitement, nobody noticed that the player who scored the winning run dislocated her spine.

P1: This is the September picture in the Girls of Milford Calendar.P-2: Mimi tries to choke L out after losing her bet because of an unheard of clutch hitP-3: If you hold this Texas Instruments Calculator to your ear you can hear the ocean.

Oh please, we’ve all seen the LDS public service ad where the snubbed girl is joined by an open and friendly Mormon. We all know Tru will be inclusive to Barry just before allowing him to drive his new 57 Chevy named “Christine”. (we wish)

P3: Milford’s av-ante guard rock group “The Kinkies” are about to record their new single with Pedro singing: “Ola”

P1 – There’s that frowning ball again. It really hates being in this strip.P2 – All they needed to get over Boo was to win a game? Seems rather shallow.P3 – So who is on the phone, is it supposed to be Master Bader? (I assume based on the death stares he’s getting.) That makes no sense, why would any of the girls call him, they hate him too.And speaking of hate, I’m sure you’d hate to miss today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Okay, I am really going out on a limb here, but here’s my prediction for next week. The teammates tell Bader he’s not welcome to come to The Bucket with them. He should just leave, everyone hates him. Tru(e) steps in and says he should come and lectures the rest of the team about supporting your teammates no matter what. Hugs abound, Gil gets all the credit.

At last some football. The girls are at the Bucket, the boys are going to the Bucket. Yeah, seven on seven at one table,five on five at another. No coaches.

“C’mon, Bader, you, too. Your dad may suck but you’re still part of this team” said True.

@Pogoreader

Pogoreader, nice reference!! However, I didn’t think Christine was a Chevy and checked. Online, it says she was a Plymouth Fury.

@dutchpuppy: Mopar to you

@dutchpuppy: That should help if you ever get to Milford CC this summer.

P-3: R&W trying to draw a “modern” reference to the opening of the new film Bye Bye Barry
