    Here comes the bullpen meltdown and the season is basically shot from here on out.

    Voting is still open for the four regional final matchups in the Gil Thorp Villains/Annoyers Tournament. Voting will run through around midday. Currently one game is a nail-biter, one is semi-close, another is going to be tough to make a comeback, and the fourth one is a blowout.

    Gal looks awfully sad. He must not be too thrilled about bringing in the “Sophomore Lefty.”

    P1: “Heil Thorp.” “Heil Thorp.”

    P2: Catcher’s helmet designed by Kylo Ren.

    P3: Marty didn’t take Radio Announcing 101, where they teach you not to talk through your nose.

    P1, Looks like a real baseball field for a change.

    P2, Gil finally makes an appearance just in time to make a pitching change.

    P3, Will Mary do an ad for one of Milford’s many Mexican restaurants while Gonzolo Aceves warms up?

    P! Is he going to miss the plate?

    P3 Gonzalo Aceves, seriously where do they come up with these names. How did all this diversity make its way into Milford?

    Still wondering how many people actually tune into the Moon Man for a high school baseball game???

    Umpire would not allow mound visit without coach wearing a hat; not all players and coaches properly equipped. Plus, what coach DOESN’T wear a hat? Only in Milford!

    The power of Thorp amazes me. More so than aged sloppy joes. No pre season practice, opening game with a team not named Tates Creek, arrive to the game late and make coaching changes. Isn’t no wonder Marty likes something extra in his sippy cup?

    P4 - Marty: “And, in other news, my mouth has never had such a workout in years.”

    It’s going to be a long season if the first game takes 5-6 days of panels.

    I wonder if Marty’s going to revisit the Mexican restaurant promo now?

    Well there’s a lot more to nitpick at if you see the colorized version!

    P1 – Sorry guys, I should have checked the field before the game. Apparently somebody whizzed all over home plate. The gross yellow stained dish is freaking out Tom, and he’s losing his grand slam for missing the plate.

    P2 – Why is Gil not wearing a uniform? He’s freaking wearing khakis in fact! He must have came directly from the Jim Harbaugh Fantasy Camp. And why is the catcher wearing a Darth Vader mask?

    P3 – Gil’s going with who I assume is a rookie, a sophomore, for his setup man? As the catcher would say, “I got a bad feeling about this!”

    And speaking of bad feelings, I’ve got a bad feeling about anyone who doesn’t read Mopped Up Thorp every day!

    Exciting results from the Gil Thorp Villains Tournament Regional Finals!

    Keri Regional Final – Del Bader vs. Uncle Gary: Del Bader continues steamrolling the competition, and Uncle Gary was only slightly more competitive than past challengers. Hit and run, hit and run, Del does what he does best. Uncle Gary was researching potential auditoriums for his nephew to sing at during halftime.

    Del Bader 91 – Uncle Gary 22

    Fang Regional Final – Softball Moms vs. Knox Foley: 1990 Loyola Marymount? 1986 LSU? 2006 George Mason? They’ve got nothing on the Softball Moms. Has a seed this low ever made such an impressive run? The constant judgmental looks and finger wagging totally threw Knox Foley off his game. The Moms went into the half up by 9 and coasted the rest of the way into the Final Four.

    Softball Moms 73 – Knox Foley 61

    (continued)

    Voting is now open for the two Final Four matchups in the Gil Thorp Villains/Annoyers Tournament. Voting will run through Wednesday night. Can the Cinderella Moms take down the top seed? Which of the other two a-holes can advance to the Finals?
