Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for June 24, 2023

Wait…it was tied, THE pinch runner comes home, and they lead by 3. Must have used the rainbow kick for the field goal.

I’m more worried about the batter’s rolled ankle than I am the score, the twist in the right leg looks like a strain a sprain or a break about to happen.

P1: That’s what she said.

P2: That’s what she said

P3: Is this the set up for Dotty Golightly giving up the grand salami in the bottom of the 7th to bust the Mudlarkettes New Haven bubble?

The pinch runner who scored the potential winning run, who shall remain forever anonymous. It does not look like Keri aimed above their head

Marty took the day off. He’s on assignment, opening day at Milford Downs you know.

Keri, a chip of the old block

I can see through that mask – it’s Marty!

Cocky

At least she’s batting with her eyes open

And how exciting to be lucky enough to listen to the girls JV action on the local sports radio broadcast

Man, we had Darrius break his ankle swinging a couple of days ago, now Keri has apparently broken both of hers. Milford needs someone from the past to fix this flaw, since apparently nobody on the coaching staff can. Anyone know what Big Ken Brown is doing? And speaking of Big Ken Brown, I’m not sure what he’s doing, but what he should be doing is reading today’s Mopped Up Thorp.

Have a great weekend to all the snarkers and fans of Gil Thorp. Thanks for all the laughs, and stuff. Specially all the information on topics and history that comes up. P.S. Harrrk!!!!

This week’s installment of Milford After Dark is online: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/2023/06/25/milford-after-dark-episode-22/

Keri Thorp is obviously the third base coach since she sent the runner. Who’s the batter?
