“What else can I bring him?” How about a legal complaint? And hey Doc, how do you have time to roam around Milford? May we see your malpractice policy? Will it cover damages when Gregg is hit by the next line drive?
Actually it’s some stranger on the street Scooter hired to play an ophthalmologist. And Gregg’s eyesight is so bad he thinks it is his real eye doctor. Gil gets a clue how much the eyesight has deteriorated when Gregg continues. “He’s worked with me on this and he thinks I can play.”
I hope that is not his eye doctor. We already know he can’t see. The issue is his deception, dishonesty, and bad judgment. Maybe it’s his psychologist.
The Doctor convinces Gil that Greg’s vision is deteriorating so fast that this will be the last time he will be able to play before going blind. Just grant his last wish Gil. He will save your season and secure second place in the valley.
What could the doctor possibly say? “I’ve given Gregg new glasses, and he can see like a champ now?” If that’s the case, why didn’t she give him glasses months ago?
P 1: a garbage can full of candy wrappers, empty Diet Coke cans, brown apple cores, used Kleenex, and gum wrappers would be more appropriate than a desk drawer.
If this crap with him bringing his doctor to school leads to some stupid lesson about how to accommodate kids with disabilities, I swear, my flamethrower is going to work overtime. This CANNOT end with him playing again! And speaking of cannot end, you cannot end your night without reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Nice try, but that still doesn’t change what you did. You’re still not playing.

Gil shouldn’t talk; he can’t even get the note in the filing drawer.

I’m pretty sure my insurance doesn’t cover a doctor’s visit to a school.

Gregg must have been using his right eye when he was looking for the solution.

The eye doctor is actually the cashier at LensCrafters.

Wait a minute, maybe this lady is his dad’s 3rd wife, to go along with Daphne and Ruth.
And what’s with the blue bag in P3? Are those Milford’s batts, set out at the curb with the trash? They must be in a hitting slump.

What would work would be introducing him to Dr. Kate Upton.
