Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for May 27, 2019

Those are rather round bat bags. They look more like volleyball sleeves, which are used to carry five or six volleyballs. For a microsecond, I thought of a golf bag, a preview of the next storyline, I assume.

I hope Molly is making Linda a Vegemite sandwich.

P1, No, it’s the damned TC buttons, haven’t you been reading “Gil Thorp?”

P2, But at least I’m a better shortstop than all of them.

P3, Hey, it’s still better than Milford Community College so quit whining.

Mimi: you know, you really don’t deserve one of those buttons

Cry me a river!

Meanwhile, all of Molly’s cares are being washed away.

Look Mrs Thorp I went to the Milford Veterans Memorial Cemetery and placed flags on graves and heard Taps being played , it made me sad . I hope everyone takes time today to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country . In all reality , Linda you are To Cool For School , God Bless América. Thanks Mrs Thorp .

That girl is an elitist pig — implying that “mid-level colleges” are sh!tholes unworthy of her presence…

Look, kid; if you’re looking to get your face on a bubblegum card and require the services of an agent, you might want to change sports. I may be wrong, but I know of no professional volleyball leagues…

And asinine TCFS button helps how?

Awww … well too damn bad, you whiny little snippet. There are athletes better than you. Go figure.

Theme song: (from Anything Goes) – “You’re the Tops”

As my Mom would have said: “Don’t be like that, there are starving people in India who would love to have a scholarship from a mid level volley ball college.”

I find it weird that she’s comparing herself against players on the opponents team and not on her own all star team. Did players on the Washington Generals go home crying that they weren’t as good as Medowlark?

So she’s one of the…what, 3% or whatever of high school players that get to play college sports on a scholarship and she’s worthless because it’s “only” mid-major? You mean a school like where Ben Roethlisberger among others attended? And she’s not as good as the players on the Australian National Team? You mean like 99.9% of the girls her age? Mimi should just slap some sense into her.

Hey, what’s the deal with all those equipment bags laying around? The game ended, everyone else has left, and that crap is just laying on the field? Doesn’t the team have a manager that should be hauling that stuff to the locker room? Or if not, the team needs to carry their own crap back. I sure ain’t doing it.

And speaking of crap, today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

So buck up!!! Get better!!!
