    P1, Well, at least Kaz showed up for the opener.

    P2, Marty looks a bit chilly. Where’s that sippy cup when he needs it?

    P3, Tomorrow “The Mayor” tries to eat that hot dog off of the outfield sign. “Gotta keep up my strength,” he crows.

    “Thibodaux Tigers”..serioulsy where do they find these schools? I never heard of them before. Obviously not a conference game. Can anybody out there name all the teams in the Valley Conference?

    P2 It is great to the ageless Moon Man back, he must have finished his rehab.

    P3 Where the deuce did they buy those jerseys, great artwork.

    The Mayor celebrates his double by reaching into his pocket and pulling out his flask. Sorry, fellow, but Marty is already about 6 or 7 innings ahead of you in the celebrating. The people who are really into celebrating, of course, are Chris Schuring and Alexa Watson, since they know that they’ll never have to be in the strip again.

    P3- Part of Steve Luhm’s compensation package at Milford High School is he gets to grill out for ballgames and get outfield advertising. That MOP’s hotdog sign really brings ’em in.

    Hey, who’s the new announcer? Oh wait, it’s just Marty Moon. This self isolation thing is going on too long. I’m going to have to reintroduce myself to everyone when this is over…if it is ever going to be over.

    Hey, Chicago was blustery yesterday with a brief period of snow! Of course no one was playing baseball…

    P1 – Thibodaux Tigers – wow, they traveled all the way from Louisiana just to play a mostly meaningless non-conference game? A lot of these schools have way too high of an athletic budget. But what the hell happened to the Milford dugouts? Who built that cheap wooden frame? Looks like it will collapse the first time we have a strong breeze.

    P2 – They gave this story a 4/10? Seems about right so far.

    And speaking of right, a new edition of Mopped Up Thorp is available right here: https://moppedupthorp.wordpress.com/

    Results from the first four regional semifinal matchups!

    Keri Thorp Region Round 3:

    Del Bader vs. Carl Peake: This appears to be Del Bader’s tournament. Can anyone stop him? He has been running over every team in his path. Cheating or no cheating, Carl Peake had absolutely no chance in this matchup. Carl will be back at the country club tomorrow.

    Del Bader 92 – Carl Peake 15

    Uncle Gary vs. Robby Howry: Uncle Gary was listed as a one point favorite coming into this game, but it was not as competitive as we had hoped. Howry’s placebo tricks are just too well known now, and anything he tried was ineffective. Down 10 at the half, Robby panicked and tried to rely on his talent, which only made matters worse. Uncle Gary rolls on.

    Uncle Gary 69 – Robby Howry 51

    (continued)

    It looks like we’ve got some great matchups again. Although I thought the same last time and none ended up close. We’ll see.
