Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for April 24, 2018

I had hoped against hope that Pelwecki had gotten a haircut, or at least some barrettes. Those strands falling across his face are incredibly annoying.

I had hoped for some basketball. Aargard, the talented 6-7 forward returning for his senior season. I believe we may have seen him in 2 or 3 panels over the past 3 months, while disgruntled fans went on and on in an endless argument with Moon. Disappointing strip for basketball season.

Both basketball teams failed to make the play downs, the girls went to three overtimes in their season finale before losing…they needed that win to extend the season. Marty Moon spent his suspension in various bars and got a major DUI…spoiler alert….he has been fired by WDIG and has sued for wrongful dismissal and age discrimination. So let’s all gladly move on to what looks to be a great baseball season.

P1, When you’re choked up that far on the bat I’m not sure how much the launch angle comes into play. At least the ants are listening intently.

P2, Unless you get that hair out of your face you won’t be able to tell.

P3, Where’s Master Bader? He should be a senior this year. And isn’t it about time for his dad to get out of the slammer?

Marty fired , gets scouting job sent to Puerto Rico to find talent, marries Paloma’s mother.

I’m expecting Pels to knock the cover off the ball like Lucky Haskins.

Ok…yeah..right…why is a guy who is a hulking fullback, like 6’3", 240, playing 2nd? And barely passed geometry? I always thought that he was in the “barely passed basic math” group

Some people are very smart but don’t do well with structured learning. Kevin might be a math whiz when left alone to do it himself.

In real life, the kid who rambles on and on about this kind of crap is invariably the worst player on the team. I know, I was that kid.

Hey, he connected the subject to something he knows – baseball! (Bet he passes geometry now. )

Two days in and so far no new unlikable character. This seasons is looking good.

Is that tape on that bat handle? It looks like he’s got an old softball bat from when I played back in the 70’s!
