Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for April 15, 2021

What an action-packed day! P1: Kaz wants to fire up before the game, maybe under the bleachers. P2: I love the smell of victory! And a Moon sighting, literally pounding the keyboard. Who could ask for anything less.

Pitchers weather favors God. Ruff day for UnderDogs.

In spite of all that’s going on with the teams and the library computers, that’s one darn shiny floor.

First gleaming floor since the great fire, HVB must have gotten the charges dropped or at least a plea deal for Mopman, hope it isn’t a work release arrangement

P3 The Moon Man resurfaces, whoopie! Some real color commentary, can’t wait to see if Godleski throws the first strike, or first ball, or gives up the first hit??

Are the Bulldogs from the UK.?

P1 Fire up! Time for the first blunt of the season

P2 Whoa, look at all the colors…our heads have grown three sizes too, that’s good s**t man

P3 Hey Kaz, am I hallucinating now or am I really seeing an ant covered Marty Moon in the plywood “press box”?

Where is my PA announcer Godleski d**mit! That little weasel chiseled me for more free wieners and large drinks

P1, is Gil having stomach cramps or has osteoporosis set in? P3, First game, first pitch, 4th Pabst

P1, Kaz has to help feeble old Gil navigate Mopman’s super shiny slick floor.

P2, Up your nose with a rubber hose, Kaz!

P3, Marty just doesn’t look comfortable without his sippy cup clutched in his hand. It must be in his unseen right hand.

P1- GilPa looks geriatric. That left arm has digressed to an atrophic state. Steady the old boy Kaz.

The Bulldogs are from South Glens Falls NY. Go Bulldogs!!!

Marty is just too plain…need Vic to come back and start in with his ‘fear of godeleski’ schtick

Nostril cam brought in for the big home opener.

P 2.5: “…it’s nothin’ that a hot shower won’t take care of, Bob (wink)..”

45 degrees and gray and Moon is in a sweater vest. Press box must be heated.

Kaz is thrilled with his new Norelco eyebrow, ear, and nose hair trimmer…not that I’d know anything about those things.

Sort of funny how the Sheriff of Nottingham is doing the play by play for the Nottingham game.

P1 – Is Gil depressed or something? Kaz is cheering him up?

P2 – Nostril cam is back! So Kaz had no idea of today’s weather before walking out the door? I mean, he did drive into work this morning, right?

P3 – Marty looking all spiffy and fresh after his long vacation. Wearing non-Milford green for some reason.

I’m curious, how many high schools broadcast their baseball games over the radio? And I’m not counting broadcasting over a school radio station, I mean an actual revenue generating public radio station? Any???

And speaking of broadcasting, I’m broadcasting the arrival of today’s Mopped Up Thorp strip.

Well since this is a home game and there is no sign of a PA announcer, I guess we’ve seen the last of Vic. We’ll never know what his batting average was for the Prom.

How about 38 degrees & light drizzle?

I know that would be a rain delay but that doesn’t keep you warm & dry.
