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.

Mad as a Hatter

That damn hat. How can Jake who says he's a Red Sox fan wear the Yankees. And to all you old school NY'er, Jake also has worn the Dodgers who of course started in Brooklyn and were the antithesis of the the Bronx Bombers.

It makes you want to grab it, stomp it and give a kick to the gutter. The hat people, the hat.

So why's Jake wearing it? Well there's has to be at least 10 (slightly amusing) reason why he might.

10. No pay but teaching ten classes of Soul Cycle and you get a free hat.

9. Try to get a little street cred for all the soccer dad driving a familly truckster demographic.

8. Wearing it in protest for the way the Sox have been playing this season.

7. Some told him he was their "little damn Yankee"

6. When WME told him they wanted him to get a little darker image he took it all the way to the Evil Empire ( Yankees)

5. If he can't have a LBD, he'll have a not so little black hat instead.

4. Going with a bandana seemed a little to Hankie.

3. It's the only hat that can get drawn on, chewed on, or spilled on and he doesn't care.

2. Won a bet against Jeter, he got the hat, instead of the beard.

And 1.
Because everyone knows black makes you everything appear smaller.

Hat got your tongue?

When some of us saw pictures of Maggie and Peter's wedding we started to speculate who the guy in the hat was standing next to Peter.



Yeah but why are we talking about this on an Austin Friday?

Well, someone sent me an email pointing out that the hat looked familiar. And they sent me a side by side too.



Now who was in the hat in one picture that looked so familiar?

The man in the back of this picture.



As they pointed out that that hat and the forehead look the same? What do you think?



And if the height thing is throwing you off. If you look at Jake and Papa G. When has his dad been taller than him? It looks like there are steps and levels behind the wall.

So maybe the guest to the wedding we all thought would be there was there all along.

Hat's off

There's the toothpick.


Then there's the hat


Pretty fancy for a run out to the Country Mart.


And then there's Austin sweater



You think Jake gonna get A tee from Santa?


Don't know but think he might be a Mr. T fan.



Too subtle? ; )
