Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 08, 2017

Gil’s looking a bit rough there in P1. I read “You lost your cool, Ryan” in Marlon Brando’s raspy voice.

Gil is always telling these kids that he’s been coaching a long time. He should realize by now that to a teenager, that goes without saying. Someone his age seems positively ancient.

GilPa looks pooped. Or constipated. Unlike Thorp’s flatulence, that bottle of Geritol ain’t cutting it.

Those “ringer” tee-shirts were really hot items back when I was in junior high. I don’t think I’ve seen them since. Must be too hard for the Thorp kids to put together.

Yeah, I’d say 60 years qualifies as “a while”, Gil.

Gil keeps his cool with a bottle of MD 20/20.

Look at the shame as he hangs his head in P3. Here it comes, the big reveal – he used to be a major hothead. Tomorrow he confesses his shameful past. Just last year after giving up a walkoff homer, he was so enraged that he drove off like a maniac and killed some young girl outside a convenience store. Never was caught.

P1- Gil looking like disheveled Ray Romano today, Mimi obviously forgot to drop the testosterone in his morning Metamucil…

P-1: So did Austin Powers

P-2: Yep, I’ve been sitting behind a desk swilling bottled water for a long time.

P-3: I’ll never get over Macho Grande

Any word if they went directly to the closer or did they parade the entire bullpen out to collect Holds?

Great. Tomorrow he confesses his past sins, Wednesday Gil fixes the problem, Milford spends the next couple of weeks winning the state championship, and we’re holding by the end with the rubber by June 1.

Nice to see Milford still wearing those 1980s-style pullover baseball jerseys.

What will Ryan’s dark secret be? I’m betting on a road rage incident.
