Shine Bright Like a Diamond

Can't forget Austin.  He might not tip his cap to every team in Major League Baseball, but he's done his time playing .

On the small screen 

And in  the big show too.

 Here he is action in Full Count/Lenexa One Mile



And while he was making Full Count Austin hit the majors.

Lidsville

With Opening Day today, it's a good time to look at all baseball teams Jake's tipped his cap to:

There's the Dodgers

Well he grew up in LA

Then there were the Nationals when he was in DC

Of course the whole Yankees things

Well since the buzz now is how Jake is a New Yorker now

After he was in Pittsburgh he went Pirate

And now since filming in Atlanta he's popped up on Sunday in a Brave's cap.

But come on Jake you aren't fooling anyone, you're a Sox fan, so just stop the Mad Hatter thing, and stick to your Sox.

Steel City Love Story

Jake in a recent interview talked about loving his time working in Pittsburgh, but who knew the love for Pittsburgh had been so long and so deep.

Jake showed the off the tramp stamp tat for the Steelers

And now we see he used to play for the Pirates



What's he going to do for the Penguins?


Ahh Jake a tip... there are no penguins in the arctic, they live in Antarctica.

Once you profess you're a Sox fan and member of Red Sox Nation it's ovah! You know you are bound by duty to go to see the Sox if they are playing anywhere you are. Wearing the Nats hat, chalking that up to Damn Yankees nod or the devil made you do it. It wasn't a Yankees, but dude come on. At least you didn't wear it to the game.

But you proved your membership in Red Sox Nation by watching the game while having dinner out on Tuesday night. Sitting at the bar and watching the game. You could be so engrossed in the game and not have to deal with the chit chat, and hey it looks just like a real night out for any Sox fan with a date.

Wednesday at Nationals Park. Primo seats. And we know why you were looking away.

Did want to get in trouble for staring too long at shortshop Nick Green, we know. And can understand why, kind of reminds me of .... oh well.



And Thursday's game? Watching it on the road?

You know if you need cover heading down to Wilmington, just tell them you are on a Sox World Series quest and need to visit the childhood home of the original Boston Dirty Dog, and former Sox right fielder Trot Nixon as part of your journey to ensure a win for this year. Hey Sox fans would totally buy it .





Who know what will happen or will worlds collide at some corner in DC this weekend.

GO SOX!

Play Ball!

It's Opening Day! And what else could you talk about on the first day of the baseball season but the Damn Yankees. Spare you the rant on those Yankees, and talk about the Damn Yankees, one OMG might be interested in, Damn Yankees: The Musical.

Jake must be doing his own Musical Theater Spring Training to get ready to play Joe Hardy the answer to the Washington Senators' prayers.

Damn Yankees is the story of real estate agent Joe Boyd, a long-suffering, middle-aged fan of the Washington Senators baseball team, as a new season opens. After his wife Meg has gone to bed, Joe suddenly meets a slick salesman, Mr. Applegate, who is in reality the Devil. Joe is convinced to sell his soul to the Devil to become the young and strong slugger Joe Hardy, the "long ball hitter the Senators need that he'd sell his soul for," and leaves his wife Meg . However, Joe's business sense makes him think of an escape clause: the Senators' last game is on September 25th, and if he chooses to play in that final game, he is "in for the duration"-he has until 9 o'clock that night to walk away from the deal and return to his normal life.

In baseball there are utility men, 5 tool players and designated hitters.

Utlility men in baseball, are those who can switch several positions.

A 5 tool player in baseball is one that has great speed, can hit for average, hit for power, a great throwing arm and is excellent defensively.

What's a 5 tool player for the movies? Act. Sing. Dance. What else?

And designated hitters? A bit controversial, and only existing in the American League, there only job is to step up to the plate and bring in the hits.

So what's Jake? Utility Man? 5 tool player? Designated Hitter?

(Oh I hear you saying switch hitter, but didn't give that to you as an option.)One suggestion to the studios - maybe make Jake Shirtless Joe instead of Shoeless Joe?



Uh, just a tip, no wooden bats in softball Jakey,



Too much Yankees, need some Red Sox. : )

Opening Day '04, in the Green Monster Seats from the Special K Cam.


About the same spot where Jake watched the game at Fenway.

Play Ball!

Spring has not sprung until today. Opening Day. It is the first day of the 2008 Major League Baseball.

We know that both have played, Jake's a fan, and have to suspect that there is at least one baseball game in that stash of video games.

Wondering if Jake would be up to catch the very first game of the entire league? Today rest of Red Sox Nation catches the 6:05 AM EST game against the Oakland A's live from Tokyo Well being a Red Sox fan you would think nothing less of him watching opening day. But the big question is. Will we see that Sox hat come back now that baseball is back?

Austin. Again a mystery man, even with baseball. Is he a Texas Rangers or a Houston Astro's fan?

Austin doesn't seem like a baseball hat kind of guy, hard on the high hair, but it could be part of his accessories for going undercover and undetected.
