Gil Thorp by Henry Barajas and Rod Whigham for June 06, 2022

Hammer time!

New backstop design, saving half the cost by omitting the perpendicular wires…brilliant! And leaving some open spaces to allow for some foul ball souvenirs for the fans!

Please, Hammer, don’t hurt ’em.

Perfect warm up pitch G Man ! In all reality , now trow the next one into Jefferson ’s dugout and the next one hit hit Mr Reality with it. Nobody will want to bat against you and we win by forfeit .

In all reality , Mr Reality is sponsored by Walgreens coming in the next decade to Milford ,

What’s perfect? His butt?

P2 Scooooter lays an *ss slap on Gregggg that would make Mimi drool

P3 One has to wonder is the catcher’s EES an addition to Greggggg’s wild pitch for dramatic emphasis, or out of surprise because Scooooter and Gregggg neglected to include him in the plan?

The only thing these dunderheads will be chasing is each other in the post game shower.

Ryne Duren threw 100 mph. Gregg throws what, maybe 85? No way would the effect be the same. Oh, and Duren had a .380 winning percentage. Not the way you chase a championship.

Greggggg has EBS-Exploding butt syndrome.

Championship = second in the Valley at Milford

Has the name been a tribute to pro wrestler Gregg “The Hammer” Valentine all along? Just put the first batter into the figure 4 leglock and the championship’s ours.

P 4 (Bob Uecker voice): " …ball 12…"

And when he beans someone and kills them, he can blame it on his eyes.

Just the guy you want out there when a championship is on the line!

Now Greg has a nickname??

It’s really cool how Greggg is using everyone’s advice (except any from his parents or coach) to tackle this problem. Ryne Duren, my a$$….

I’m guessing that Jefferson will be wearing their light blue uniforms.

Greggg just beaned the Rally Hippo.

R&W get banned by Go Comics for violence when the game ends with a “suicide” squeeze.

And the stupidity level is higher than ever. Milford has to win to capture the league title and Gillll has his blind pitcher that was humiliated last time out starting? How is he even in the lineup? The coaches did NOTHING to address his problem. Any sane coach would not pitch him. Which explains why he’s starting today.

I’m waffling between two predictions. One is that Jefferson is too intimidated by Gregggg’s warmup show that they barely get on base. But Milford can’t score either, and Gregggg ends his career with a masterful pitching performance, but also a loss. The other prediction starts out the same, but Milford wins it in the bottom of the 7th when Scooooter wins it with a walkoff bunt. Remember how he bragged about having the most bunts in the Valley or something stupid like that? And then he never bunted ever all season? Well, here it comes now to win the title.

I’m going with the first prediction, losing the game, because we’re a week into June and there isn’t time to wrap up the Mr. Hammmm mystery and lose a playoff game too. Unless this will be dragged out most of the summer, which has happened before.

And speaking of dragging out, I dragged out my prediction so long that I almost forgot to tell you that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is ready.

Also – Scooooter keeps making his strong case for being the second biggest jackass at Milford. What better way to pump up your pitcher that to remind him that this game is for ALL THE MARBLES. But it’s okay because he told him to not feel the pressure. That’s pretty easy when people keep telling you, IGNORE THE PRESSURE!

Also, just heard from Vito about a new prop bet. Will Jefferson be wearing teal uniforms tomorrow? Bet $100 that they are, and if right you win $100.05. Bet $100 that they aren’t, and if you are right you win $496,050.
