Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 27, 2018

P1, Jay Bhatia throws six off beat innings. And who’s the hippie kid flashing the peace sign in the background?

P2, These guys are celebrating like they just clinched second in The Valley. Again.

P3, Was the record 18 or 15, I forget. Either way, if Moose had 11 and thinks he only needed 3 to tie Joe Sharkey, he’s gonna need to take some remedial math before he goes to State.

In all reality , it’s over another chapter in Hall of Fame Coach Gil Thorp’s illustrious career ends. Get that lemonade ready Bitsy !Coming soon the return of Marty Moon .

1. Joe Sharkey. 3. Kevin Pelwecki. Who is in 2nd place for most homers in a Milford baseball season? Think I’ll take a vacation the next 4 weeks, stop in Winston-Salem to say hi to True, then on to Mount Pilot and visit with t-car. I hear the drive to Bermuda is lovely this time of year.

I don’t see BB celebrating with the team. He must have already took off to the shower to celebrate with a new bar of soap !

Guess this means Pelwecki isn’t going to try walking on at State — unless he doesn’t think of college baseball as “real.”

Nice to see the “fists in the air long after the game ends” tradition.

P1 – There it is, they must have done it! Based on that raised hand, “We’re #2!”

P3 – So after all that, does this mean Moose isn’t going to even try to play college ball? I’m afraid that means a week of talking about it with Gil, and no lemonade tomorrow after all.

Great season: we missed the playoffs and had a losing record, but we stayed focused on DD.

p-1 That mitt is big enough to catch Soccer balls

ALT P-1 So, a new sport at Milford, Fencing

p-2 IF that’s Gil’s hand, why is he wearing a Gardening glove?

Panel three: the 1971 version of Neil Young.

This playdown-less season ending celebration is just getting started.

Panel two: is that the good ‘angel’ head talking on Gil’s shoulder or the evil ‘devil’ head speaking? I guess we can’t see the other one because it’s behind the Mick’s back.

Alright one last one for the day. How did the nerd from the chemistry lab get on the field in panel one?

P1: I’ve heard of off-speed pitches. But what are off-speed innings?

P2: What a coach! Congratulating Kevin while getting in a dig about his failure to beat a record.

P2: Kevin, do you like gladiator movies?
