Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rachel Merrill for February 16, 2022

Let’s welcome her with a hard seltzer party! According to Super Bowl commercials, they’re great.

Off the bench, making a Camio appearance …

P4 Mimi: “Now figure it out, I have an appointment to have some pool maintenance, see you when the playdowns start.”

Is the appearance of Cami Ochoa, CamiO, an allusion to the rare occurrence of today’s Mimi Thorp sighting?

P3- Is Cami Irish? Mimi patronizes her by going Frank Gorshin Riddler wearing green.

P2: "Total fluke. Hey, a friend of mine, Mr. Vito “suggested” I start selling weed to make some money fast. Oh, forget I said his name. Wanna pound?"

“Since she’s been crushing it on the JVs, I’m appointing her to be your new coach. Now start that run towards second in the Valley, and I’ll send you a postcard from Cancun!”

Hey guys get a bottle of Scope. Your breath could knock a buzzard off of a sh!# wagon.

P 4 (yelling): “…and since Hollis here has been walking around like a zombie lately, she will be starting in her place and I have also named her as a co-captain…”

Is junior varsity really a separate team? We didn’t have one, but I had the impression JV was for younger varsity players who don’t get much if any playing time.

P3: I wasn’t aware of her, but thanks for letting me know.

Someone isn’t learning his lesson. Angry bookies on the horizon.

At least Mimi is promoting another kid from one of the lower level teams rather than bringing in a kid mid-season who has no business or experience playing the sport like her hubby likes to do.

Sure she’s killing it, she looks 7 feet tall.

What about the dude who wasn’t paying him?

P 3: that’s some bad body language by the girl on the right

Looks like the jayvees crushed her nose. Girl behind her can’t even look at it.

Seems like a lot of vaping going on in p1 and p2….

P-1: Thank you, Captain Obvious

P-2: Theme song: "Grey Skies Are Going to Clear UP (put on a Happy face).

P-3: Coach why do you want a player who crushes balls? Seems she could be a featured character around Prom Night. Is Ochoa a Samoan name and will she wear 88?

What the H*ll kind of practice jersey’s are the girls wearing in P3? The girl behind Mimi has a smiley face on hers, I can’t tell if that is an exclamation point or a radiation warning sign on the girl who is second to the right of center, does the girl right of center have a boobshadow going on or does her jersey happen to have hand print silhouettes that are coincidentally located in that area of her anatomy?

Looks like Cami, an apparent nose accident victim, is being given the rookie treatment. Plain shirt only, no smiley face logo, no Milford letters, no M, no lightning bolt, no exclamation point. You’ve got to earn the right to not be plain, sister. And speaking of earning the right, you’ve earned the right to read today’s Mopped Up Thorp.
