For guest umpire Larry the Cable Guy, he’s probably not on top of the rules as he’s thinking about that stand up performance later this evening at the Central City Auditorium.
P1 The ump spontaneously breaks into the chicken dance as Gil finally arrives at the game after interrupting his round at Milford CC after Kazzzz’s call letting him know that the ump needed to request that he actually coach
P4: Heather “don’t call me Brenda Starr” Burns begins penning her breaking story for the Milford Star about rampant stupidity and the lack of coaching at MHS. Or she’s writing her resignation letter and is booking a flight to get as far away from this strip as possible.
I’ve been thinking Gil has been asleep at the wheel and oblivious to everything or in other words his normal self, but now I think he’s been part of this all along.
Amazing how opposing coaches and umpires can instantly tell what Gregggg’s problem is, yet Gillll and Kazzzz coached dozens of practices and games and never had even one tiny clue that anything was wrong. And speaking of tiny clues, here’s a tiny clue that today’s Mopped Up Thorp is online. Well, actually it’s a big clue, because I’m just coming out and telling you it’s there.
Gillll really messed up big time. If only he would have saved that permission slip from Gregggg’s eye doctor, he could have showed that to the ump and the ump would have said, “Oh, okay, carry on!”

Some nervous batters will be stepping into the box… Maybe the other coach will even pull his team.

Later, Gil Thorp gets run by the ump for “using a certain word that’s a no-no with umpires..”

P1 is Gil making a rude gesture with his left hand as the ump instructs him to take Gregggg out of the game?

Reminds me of the former Iraqi information minister: “There are no American tanks here,” as you can see them behind him in the camera shot.
