Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 05, 2024

Maynard G. Krebs is dying. Maybe that’s Dobie in the group behind.

These boys in P1 all seem to have cramps in their hands. Mysterious.

I. Just. Can’t.

EWS – Exploding Whistle Syndrome – a new GT first. Freakin’ FWEET!

No scar. No wrap. No brace. Impressive work they do there at Milford Medical Center.

“Yes I can can yes I can can”

In all reality, have you guys ever heard the story of The Little Engine That Could ? No Coach we haven’t! Well let me tell it to you. Ok Henry take over !

P 2.5 (Kim): “… should I get you a Tampax Pedro?…”

Two fweets and a double note. Kim is a whistle virtuoso

Either Pedro is doing well for dying, or he’s getting lapped

P3: Pedro-bot 9000.

P3- How are those clam diggers gonna help Master Pedro?

Wonder when Gil is going to use the Apache offense that Kareem introduced last season? No way for Pedro to keep up with that high octane strategy.

Can you do it? Probably. Should you do it? Honestly, I don’t care either way.

So, he says he wants to see Pedro Saturday. Pedro who hasn’t left his room in months. And the next day he is saving the basketball team? (Or at least conditioning)Wonder what Kim told him??

“You know the best thing about pain? It lets you know you’re not dead yet!”

—G.I. Jane

Also, it’s impressive how he can talk and blow the whistle at the same time. If this coaching thing doesn’t work out, he’ll have a new gig as a ventriloquist.

pedro thinks what would i do for a klondike bar

look how smooth kims hands are from all that dishwashing

i see only four guys maybe there training for pickleball instead

I guess she’s just given up on presenting any kind of coherent story.

No pain, no gain. Next up is the medicine ball.

P4- “Coach, why do we have to run laps to be on the debate team?”

Great work by Marcus Welty MD and his associate Dr Steven Kiley.

P-1: We now know the Football injury is inside his shorts.

P-2: While practicing for his upcoming Album, Coach Kim teaches and enlightens his protégé.

P-3: If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it.

Pedro about to have a Bronny James-like incident.

Anybody want to bet against it?

P.4: Pedro collapses; while some kids run to get the defibrillator, Coach Kim heads to the airport.

Guessing here. Did Kim come to Pedro to get him to rejoin the team? When the season is at least halfway through? I suppose he’ll walk out there next game and pump in 30 points. And speaking of pumping, I hope you’re pumped up to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
