Jake on the Green Monster

(Boston.com Photo / Steve Silva)



Update: While Austin is at Austin City Limits

Jake was at the first game of the Red Sox/Yankees three game series, and taking it from the hottest seats in baseball.

Sitting on top of the famed Green Monster , Boston's left field wall, he watched the Sox lose their 5 run lead in the 8th to lose to the Yankees 8-7, in the second longest regular season 9-inning game in Major League Baseball history. He was not the only A-lister at the game, or on the Monster. Adrian Grenier of Entourage enjoyed the Monster view too.

That grin better be for the Sox early lead, if it is over the Yankees coming back to take the first game, he has some explaining to do.

  1. Spesh,

    I couldn't resist commenting on this. Jake looks fabulous atop the Green Monster! What a horrendous game tho. :)

  3. From DL, not Austin according to this and doesn't sound like Chris either:

    Yeah, Jake was there sitting in a VIP section of the Monster seats (sectioned off from the riff raff)... with a young male friend.

    NESN cut to a close shot of owner Tom Werner talking to Jake (with his back to the game), while his boyfriend, I mean friend, watched the game. Jake was in heavy beard, sweatshirt mode, while his friend was clean shaven... good looking, but (in my opinion) not as hot as Austin.

    Now, Jake and Chris Fisher (his other rumored bf) were just reported to be on the Cape, where one or both ran a road race. But this guy didn't quite resemble the pics I've seen of Chris, so I really can't say if it was him or not.

    Thanks for the copy from DL. Can I ask if there a name to go with your post?

    I watching the game and saw Jake talking to Tom Werner, there was someone to his left. It was hard to see who it was, they were half turned away from the camera.

    Hey girl!

    When you thought the Green Monster couldn't get any better, it does.

    The game. Grrrrrr

    But today -- Beckett. Tomorrow -- the AARP match up Schilling vs. Clemens.

    Hoping for a 2 out 3. Go Sox!!

  7. But today -- Beckett. Tomorrow -- the AARP match up Schilling vs. Clemens.

    You're so right, just when you thought it couldn't get any better, it does! The Red Sox and Jake. I was so happy to see Jake at the game, I must have missed it on tv, but I knew you, one of our biggest Red Sox fans would have it! Great job on the blog I must say, and the music is great. :)

  10. Just watching the Sox in 2. Yes we are so crazy about the Red Sox here they replay the game the next day. Actually two ways, a one hour version (Breakfast) and a two hour version.

    I am watching the 2 hr replay to get ready for the 4 o'clock game today. They did show Jake in the replay.

    He was chatting with Tom Werner and a young lady who liked she was an assistant to Mr. Werner. Didn't recognize who was sitting on either side of him. Ergo ... not the usual suspects. : )

    GO SOX!

  11. Didn't recognize who was sitting on either side of him.

    And what about Chris, "sitting further down the row"?

  12. NETB:) You were the one who welcomed me on "WFT", december 9th, last year. I made a comment about hoping to see Jake&Austin skiing in Norway, and you answered " Welcome, that would be sweet":) i just feel it`s so good to see etablished TB`s in these "circus-times:)

    ReplyDelete
  13. Another great sighting, Special. Between this one and the Chilmark Road race you're really outdoing yourself.

    Good to see you posting, NETB. I know a lot of us have missed you.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hello again NETB it is good to see you back. hopefully you will bring us tb hopefuls some good luck. We are still waiting patiently. Well am not so sure how patient I am:-)

  15. Hi NETB, nice to see your posts again.

  16. Hi NETB, welcome back. Enjoy the nice and cosy.
    Special K, there you go, you saw Jake too! Now we are even.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I didn't see him in person.

    Just to clarify. He was on the TV. I was not lucky enough to get tickets to the Sox Yankees series.

  20. Austin is wearing a chain, and on that chain is a ring. Doesn't look like The Ring, as it is gold, and I don't see a bluish-green stone. But, could it be the one that Jake used to wear, you know, his 'engagement' ring? Maybe?

    Need the ring experts now!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Just going to comment on the ring.

    Wow it must have been hot there. Boy is almost naked.

    ReplyDelete
  22. The guy in the shirt looks like Austin's brother in law, Rowdy Stovall (go look at him on IMDB) with longer hair and a bit of weight gain so presuming that the woman in the white top is Ashley (Austin's sister). She seems to have an athletic build which would match.

    So Austin didn't think one ring mystery was enough?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Hi Guys! Thanks for the welcome, and I've missed you all too!

    (((((((((SpecialK, Wicked, Destiny, Rattler, Tom, NorwegianGirl, BlueVelvet and Frenchy!)))))))))

    I've been lurking since I discovered OMG, and I think it's a fine tribute to our boys. That and Tom's sweet comment about us TBs staying together when and if "the big day" arrives. I just have a good feeling about it. I hope we have good luck, Tom!

    Rattler, were you lucky enough to go to TIFF? I saw you had written a review, and I'm trying desperately not to read too much about it before I see it, so I'll be sure to read it then. I don't know how much longer I can hold out tho, it looks so good. I saw the full trailer today at the movies.

    I'm loving this song by Antony and the Johnsons - it's beautiful.

    NETB :*

    ReplyDelete
  24. HELP!

    In the OMG banner, the last pic on the right - what photoshoot is that from?

    ReplyDelete
  25. ME

    The picture of Jake in the Banner?

    That is from the press conference for BBM at the Venice Film Festival.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Thank you, just doing some crazy fangirl research, that's all.

    Using my handy-dandy image program, I managed to isolate the ring hanging against Austin's chest. *sigh*

    Gold band with a black stone in the middle.

    I know, I know, I should be doing more important things.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Wow, Austin must be wearing some low-riding pants because that boy is showing an awful lot of skin. Not that I mind. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Special K: Sorry I misunderstood. Good work on the post! You must be terribly bored with all my compliments by now. But hey, I am not going to stop :)

    NETB: Yes, I was very lucky to attend the Rendition premiere at TIFF. It seemed to me that seeing Jake is like a religious experience for the Gyllenhaalics. I was very careful not to have any spoilers in the write-up for OMG - so go ahead and read it. It is more like my personal thoughts, and not a "review".

    Wicked: I am reading a book titled "The Lesser Evil - Political Ethics in an Age of Terror" by Michael Ignatieff. It has answered quite a few questions that cropped up in my mind after watching Rendition. Read it if you get a hold of it - I am sure you will enjoy it. Some of Ignatieff's thoughts are very pertinent to the cases of Arar and Kahla.

    ReplyDelete
  29. me, does that make it like Jake's engagement ring or not?

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh what a nice place you've got here, Special K. I've been enjoying Austin showing some skin, a pleasant surprise I must say. Tantalised by that ring on a chain. Nice to see so many posters that I've missed on WFT.

    ReplyDelete
  31. It sure looks like it to me, ag.

    But, my investigation is far from 100% conclusive.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Thank me.
    It is very interesting though. Austin would never have expected to be photographed so wouldn't have needed to hide it.

    If it is the same ring, I wonder if Jake has Austin's ring somewhere on his person, in his pocket or something. I know he wouldn't wear it where it could be seen - that ring is too obvious.

    Still nice to see Austin. He looks well and that's mainly what I wanted to know.

    ReplyDelete
  33. ag said: "So Austin didn't think one ring mystery was enough?"

    That made me laugh because it's so true. Wish we could see his hand in these photos to see if he's still wearing the "other " mystery ring.

    And that does look like Rowdy Stovall.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Hey Trilobyte

    Welcome to OMG! Hope you come stop in more. I know that Wicked and I wanted to have a fun place for place for people to come and enjoy Jake & Austin and have a little community.

    It is great to see some old faces stopping by.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I do think it's his sister in the white top cause the guy in the cap on the other side is laughing and Austin is kind of looking down so it looks like she's possibly giving the 'don't drink too much alcohol, drink lots of water and we're driving you home' kind of speech.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Wow, Austin looks really hot - I like this pic and also the one in the white shirt below.

    Hello (((((((Trilobyte and AG)))))))

    Rattler, I'll be sure to read your thoughts on Rendition, and I'd be interested in reading The Lesser Evil.

    Have a great night, all -

  38. NETB, it is so good to have you commenting once again.
    I feel like we're having a reunion here.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Wow, I'm intrigued by this new ring mystery. I can't help wonder what happened to the original ring, and if there is any significance to the fact that the blue ring was worn visibly and proudly, while this new ring is apparently (usually) hidden under his shirt. Would be mighty interesting if it was the same black diamond ring Jake previously wore ;)

    ReplyDelete
  40. I looks like it could be Orchid.

    That is the first thing I thought of when I saw it. : )

    ReplyDelete
  41. I think the person who said that the guy on the left is Austin's brother in law is right. I just checked his photo on imdb.com and he looks very much like that guy. Good catch!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I wonder if this is the same chain that Austin was wearing in the Men's Health photoshoot. At the time we were wondering if he was wearing "The Ring" on that chain.

    ReplyDelete
  43. ((((((NETB)))))

    Special, it would be so sweet if its Jake's ring :)

    BV - that's interesting. Quite coincidental that the chain ring appeared when the blue ring disappeared.

    Maybe ME can comment on whether the rings look similar :)

    Here's a link to a pic of jake wearing his former ring for all the photo analysis experts ;) click for close-up!

  44. Why else would someone wear a ring on a chain around their neck? It has to be some kind of love/commitment ring. I just wonder why the change?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Wear My Ring Around Your Neck Lyrics
    (words & music by Bert Caroll - Russell Moody)

    Won't you wear my ring around your neck
    To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
    Let them see your love for me
    And let them see by the ring around your neck

    Won't you wear my ring around your neck
    To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
    Let them know I love you so
    And let them know by the ring around your neck

    They say that goin' steady is not the proper thing
    They say that we're too young to know the meaning of a ring
    I only know that I love you and that you love me too
    So, darling, please do what I ask of you

    Won't you wear my ring around your neck
    To tell the world I'm yours, by heck
    Let them see your love for me
    And let them see by the ring around your neck

    Let them know I love you so
    And let them know by the ring around your neck

  50. Special, seems like a good time to play the song ;)

    ReplyDelete
  51. You can see the ring even clearer in this picture.

    It's the one in the middle (obviously).

    ReplyDelete
  52. Good find Stubborn!

    Whether its THE ring or not, I think its definitely from Jake. New ring. New start. New....?

    I do miss the blue bauble though.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I am one of the few people who thinks the blue ring was from BBM - which would make it very special - so I'm sure either Jake or Austin has it somewhere safe.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Ok refresh and you will get the new song guys!

    Enjoy!

    ReplyDelete
  55. I hope this ring is from Jake. I still believe they are together.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Orchid, I have always thought that too - that it has a lot of meaning for them both, the ring from BBM. It's quite a coincidence that it's a turquoise ring.

    Hello (((((Joker)))))!

    NETB

    ReplyDelete
  57. Orchid, is Jake wearing two rings on his pinky in that photo? One of those rings is that black diamond he bought when he became engaged to himself (he said that in an article) and the other one looks similar to the ring on Austin's chain.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Good catch 10:27.

    Is there something we can call you? A name is so much better than a number.

    ReplyDelete
  59. hey, NTB good to see you!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  60. I will be out of the USA for the next 2 weeks with limited internet access, so please keep the good thoughts of Jake and Austin going, and keep wishing for a Jaustin sighting.

    ReplyDelete
  61. 10:27 it could be the second ring. Its hard to tell because we can't see Austin's ring up close. Either way I think this new ring is from Jake. I'm just wondering what it symbolizes. I don't like that its hidden, but maybe that's necessary at the moment.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Good to see you too, Joker!

    You're right Special, it is Jake's birthstone too, so it's even more meaningful. I'm such a romantic fool, but I'm sorry, these guys just do that to me. I'm hoping we could just have a little picture of them, maybe? :)

    NETB

    ReplyDelete
  63. You know I am not even going to speculate anymore, what is means. I am just going to take as this. It looks something of Jake's he keeps with him. And close to him just for him.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Orchid, I have always thought that too - that it has a lot of meaning for them both, the ring from BBM. It's quite a coincidence that it's a turquoise ring.

    So glad you think this too. Thought I was the only one :)

  65. That is a very beautiful thought, Special! :)

  66. Well, I came home tonight hoping for some Toothy news or Jausty pics.

    But half naked Austy is just as good. Let me put my tongue back in my mouth and wipe the drool. ;)

    Jake is one lucky guy.

    Ya know, if that shirt were white, Austin would look quite at home at a White Party. :)

  74. Oh my God Special. I love the pic and the song. Austin is total hotness.

    ReplyDelete
  75. 10:27PM Those pinky rings Jake is wearing are small like all pinky rings, the rings on Austin's chain look bigger.

    ReplyDelete
  76. ...the rings on Austin's chain look bigger

    I can see only one ring.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Again, I am going to say just this.

    You know I am not even going to speculate anymore, what is means. Or which ring it is. I am just going to take as this. It looks something of Jake's he keeps with him. And close to him just for him.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Often the most obvious answer is the right one. My first thought was it's a new ring from Jake and I'm going with that until proven otherwise.

    Austin keeps getting hotter and hotter, whoo!

    ReplyDelete
  79. Or maybe...
    just maybe...
    Austin is Frodo!

    Three Rings for the PR-kings under the sky,
    Seven for the Media-lords in their halls of stone,
    Nine for Homophobic Men doomed to die,
    One for the Hottie Lord on his pink throne
    In the Land of Hollywood where the Shadows lie.
    One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
    One Ring to bring them all and in the lightness bind them
    In the Land of Hollywood where the Shadows lie.

  80. There are new pics of Jake out and about in Soho yesterday, walking with Noel Baumbach, on IHJ's Eye Candy thread.

    And he is looking like sex on a stick, as always.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Ha, ha! With or without a shirt Austin now has a ring around the collar! :D

    Great pic to come home to Spesh, thanks!

    I don't know what this new piece of jewelry means but I hope it's not the sign of an impending wedding. OMG(od) no!

  82. What I fear is a photo of Jake & Austin topless together, my computer would burst into flames, either that or I would!

    ReplyDelete
  83. I'm with Special and going with my first thought about the ring. To me a ring on a chain is a symbol of a commitment/committed relationship - simple as that. And to me that means a commitment between J&A. Seeing Austin out and about following the DUI, coupled with his lack of clothing, had me smiling immediately. Once I realized that he was sporting a ring around his neck I haven't been able to stop smiling.

    ReplyDelete
  84. How beautiful! Wow! I'm smiling too.

    Antony & The Johnsons was a Wicked choice, and an awesome one at that.


    And again, OMG takes requests, we love requests. Now that Wicked has gotten our player problems figured out (A thousand gold stars to her.) we want all kinds of cool suggestions for songs.

  88. Fantastic. I will think of suggestions when I've stopped looking at this picture - might be a week or so :)

    ReplyDelete
  89. Let's see, Jake is hanging out with Noah Baumback who's married to Jennifer Jason Leigh, who's already worked (and seems good pal with) Alan Cumming. I won't get carried away but why do I find these coincidences quite interesting and uplifting? ;)

  90. Please credit me for the Picture of Austin Nichols that I took and posted on my blog http://thedailytraveler.com/2007/09/more-austin-city-limits-music-festival.html
