    This is building to what I anticipate to be a wholly disappointing conclusion.

    I dunno, I can see this being fairly thrilling:

    VM Catcher (to Milford batter): “You get a base hit and I’m gonna shiv the next batter up.”…….Umpire: “Strike thrrrrree!”

    Does “Bob” have pinkeye? (Apparently this story hasn’t ended yet. OK, I’m leaving again.)

    Secretive “code words” talk. Conspiratorial wink. A clueless bystander. Ironic reference to “our lads” and their “wholesome weekend activities.”

    All that’s missing is a snare drummer.

    BOB indeed.

    P1, Kaz/Bob rocks the super mullet. I guess the barbers are still closed in Milford.

    P2, Kaz winks at Gil signaling a private soapy shower meeting.

    P3, And Mike’s Misfits are down to 7 players and will have to forfeit. Can we go to Milford CC now?

    P1 Is the douche bag professor in the background going to alert the authorities? He busted Mike Knapp and put him in the big house!!!R & W must have included him for a reason.

    Bob comes in drunk, babbling about “our lads” while practicing his Irish accent. The eye twitch from the coke withdrawal has returned. The guy with the giant exclamation point wants to know if they’re going to Dairy Queen after the game. or are they going to smoke weed and drink beer with the VM alumni who show up.

    Just before first pitch the Knappester’s parents’ lawyers come rushing in with injunction to get him back into Milford High and he bails on his new-found teammates.

    P1- GilPa and Kaz aren’t going to the game. But you can bet a Bucket Burger teacher Don Rooney there in the background will be there. Behind the dish.

    P-1: Gil shows signs of Old Timers.

    P-2: Kaz sticks the coffee spoon in his eye.

    P-3: The Mayor has an ominous omen. The pre-game rally is a fizzle.

    The English teacher re-appears in P-1. We now have proof this was a set up as he reports Kaz for using “Lumps” in his coffee. Luckily, the staff at VT object to getting anymore violent characters from Milford and end this pathetic story by sending the Mayor back where he came from. They say this story is as lame as his Co-Valedictorian.

    P1: “Hey, Kaz, for a second I thought that you had scoffed Marty Moon’s coffee cup, but it’s missing a ‘Y’.”

    P2: Kaz gives Gil the secret wink. Gil summons Mopman and Barf Bucket Boy to close down the shower room for a bit by putting out the notorious “Caution: Hazardous Materials On Site” warning sign.

    P3: “In a few days, we make history! Is everyone fired up?”

    “I’ve already flunked history six times. Is this history going to be something new? I’m not too good at the old stuff.”

    “Mom won’t let me get fired up until 4:20.”

    “My nose is already bleeding!”

    P4: Comrade Corina Anna Karenina Karenna is hiding in the bushes with her state of the art Soviet version of the Kodak Brownie taking reconnaissance pictures and gathering evidence for her handlers. So far, she hasn’t found any intelligence to gather.

    Game almost on!

    Meanwhile, the Milford High junior hockey team is having a scrimmage against another girl’s team between band practices. Their first ever public gig is Saturday at the Bucket.

    Why didn’t Bob mascara his other eye in P2?

    P1: Kaz proudly displays the coffee mug that his lawyer, Bob, gave him. Bob is a senior partner in the eminent local Milford law firm of Neil, Bob, and Swallow. They are proud to be the highly coveted public defenders of Marty Moon’s choice and are one of only two law firms permitted to air ads on Marty’s radio shows, the other being Saul Goodman.

    I’m just here to check if the golf storyline has begun (it doesn’t look like it).

    P1 – Uh oh, they should be quiet around Kenny Rogers. He likes to snitch. He’s going to run off to tell Dr. Pearl that there’s an illegal baseball game going down and Gil and Kaz know all about it and are not going to stop it! Then when one of the players gets hurt, the school is sued for damages and Gil and Kaz are finished!

    P2 – Ah ha! That’s why “coincidentally” Bitsy showed up from her exile today. What woman can resist a closeup of Kaz flirting with the camera?

    P3 – Another in a long line of tee shirts that would get most kids beat up in high school.

    And speaking of beating up, don’t beat yourself up because you think you missed today’s Mopped Up Thorp. No sweat, it just came online!

    “We make history.” What the hell is he talking about? Because they’re playing a scrimmage against an organized high school team, that’s HISTORY? I hope the major news outlets show up to cover this momentous day.
