Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for July 06, 2021

P3 makes my head hurt. Look at the position of his arms and hands. Is his middle name Gumby or something?

P2: Not the way to bunt.

P1: Is “a whiff of the top” as good as second place?

After Muench jumped and landed on that fastball, did he keep his balance? Tune in tomorrow.

P1 Can anybody hazard a guess and tell me how many people would actually be listening to the MoonMan’s broadcast of a Milford High School baseball game. Billy Bunkin used to, but he passed away several years ago!

Tom “Butt” Muench releases the Kraken, only to end up on the IL with a severely dislocated elbow and broken wrist.

In all reality , July 4th has passed ,it’s time to wrap up the baseball, library board, Zanie / Caty stories and wish Corina Good Luck and start the Summer storylines !

Sharpen your blade Zane(y), “Butt” Muench just hit an at ‘em ball to end the game, any hope for second in the Valley, playoff hopes, the season and another loose string in this story arc

I forget if KRACK makes the ball go further than CRACK, but all I remember hearing is PING!

P2 – Why is batter swinging at ball that went behind him?

P2 & P3- Love the way Whigham draws the baseball & softball to detect a frown. It subconsciously gets Snark Nation ready to opine the best way we know how.

According to the Beach Boys, if you catch a whiff you’re sitting on top of the world.

P1: And speaking of the top, let me top off this Jack and Coke.

P1, Wow, The Crap Shack is looking pretty spiffy today. Milford must have had some renovations done.

P2, Usually when a pitch is thrown behind the batter a fight breaks out.

P3, But sadly, Tom “Butt” Meunch only has warning track power and all Milford gets is another whiff of failure. Now let’s wrap up the stupid pie board story and get to Milford CC.

You know, if the coaches stuck to coaching instead of interfering in kids’ college plans, the all-important library board race, and their players’ love lives, maybe the teams would play better.

P2: Gil’s brilliant new strategy is to have his right-handed batters stand on the right-hand side of home plate, to get a better jump on running to first base.

Shucks, I was hoping for a sword fight

Whoa… actual sports action…. Bore- ing…. Get back to the exciting, edge-of-your-seat library board drama

Milford players are so eager for the season to end they are striking out on pitches thrown behind them. Muench kraks one off the label, breaking the last Milford bat and sending team to the lockers and home for the season, where they will whiff only Ben Gay and worse…

The guy moving to Denver had the right idea… “get out of this story while I can”

P3: It’s a foul ball off his foot, also known as Kratatoa.

Based on the absolutely no leadup to the dramatic last batter, I’m guessing Butt Munch is not hitting a walkoff three-run homer. A long flyout at best. Especially since he pulled his arms in on the swing, there’s no way he gets any power out of that. It shouldn’t even leave the infield. Which probably means in this world that he just hit the ball 450 feet.
