First Impressions
They always say First Impressions last forever and if that is true Zack Jones wearing that Yankees cap already has him in my doghouse.
+1
My thoughts exactly.

SIUE is Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville
It’s about 25 miles NE of St. Louis and went D-I a year ago.
I’ll always think of SIUE as a GLVC rival of my alma mater even though they have moved on to D1.
Go Greyhounds
BTW, anybody know if Rockhurst’s move out of the GLVC is really going to happen?

My wife's a Rockhurst Alum
and she doesn’t even know. She didn’t even know they were Great Lakes Valley Conference. She said ‘Great Lakes, why? that makes no sense.’
(BA Psych ’95 and Masters Occupational Therapy ’97) fergodsakes she went there six years!
To her credit she did know they were the Hawks. And also to her credit she was 34 when she graduated, kind of unconventional to be a High School dropout from the class of ‘82 NKCHS with a Master’s Degree she got on her own. Worked her way through college waiting tables at Plaza III and also being a barber and having a home day-care. She was too busy to know wtf the Great Lakes Valley Conference was, besides the fact that she was taking care of our own kids and me. Awesome woman.
Yeah? From what I hear, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a f@#%ing boat.
Yeah....and a few Myspace ones....
Adams and Jones.

Yea,
Zack Jones, don’t even fucking offer him. Fucking Yankees hat, what a douche (I’m being serious).
Plus, I love Lane Adams’ “fuck face” as he’s rounding third…
I hereby resign from this post.

In Seattle?
It sorta resembles the Cascade mountain range in the back left, and the wiring with his shit eating grin suggests the Space Needle. The only problem is the tall building on the right. I am not sure if that matches the sky line facing south east. which is the only orientation that would have the Cascades in the back ground like that.
I feel the sabotage is getting increasingly complex.

sweet holy trinity
I think he is the next in line mole agent into the Royals organization sent by the Mariners!!!

Mario that is the Space Needle
and I think it’s more of a ‘straight-east’ view, or Northeast…
Like if you pan to HIS left a ways Mount Hood would show up.
my $0.02
Yeah? From what I hear, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a f@#%ing boat.
Not to be a dick more just an FYI it would not be Mt. Hood
Mt. Rainer, is the one close to Seattle…..just moved there and am learning these things. But you are dead nuts on that if they panned more to his left it would be there!! COOL!!!!
Mt. Hood is just south of Hood River, Oregon near the Columbia river. (My parents live close to there)
But Man sweet pic!!!! You can totally line up the back ground of his pic with yours!!!!! WOW that is incredible.
Chalk this one up as +1 to the Royals in the battle of Grass Creek and espionage anti-lose department.

oops sorry!
of course you’re right I’m in my beers. I’ve been up both those mountains.
I lived over in Bremerton for three years while I was in the Navy, but my extended family lives down in Scappoose (NW outside of Portland)
honest mistake and sorry I made it!
Yeah? From what I hear, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a f@#%ing boat.
how could I forget Vitamin R named after Mount Rainier
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa NEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeerrr
BEEEEEEEEEEEeerrrrrr
Yeah? From what I hear, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a f@#%ing boat.
well the fact that I lived there about 20 freakin years ago, and go back
on business trips and vacations only rarely
Yeah? From what I hear, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a f@#%ing boat.
YES Rainier beer
The second weekend here I and the wife bought two 24oz (the tall cans) of Rainer, just to see if it was as bad (awesome) as my dad has said. I grew up on the east side of WA but not ever been in WA as an adult until now.

Remember Harold "Hack" Reynolds hitting a foul ball that damn near knocked over
my “smuggled into the Kingdome GALLON-O-BEER in a plastic milk jug” back in the day when nobody else had ever even heard of Mudhoney, Danzig, and Nirvana.
Yeah? From what I hear, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a f@#%ing boat.
and you've never posted anything
even remotely “dickish”
to my knowledge.
Yeah? From what I hear, you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a f@#%ing boat.

anyone not from New York and not a Yankees player (or ballclub member)
required by their job to wear a Yankees hat
would probably eat a ____ sandwich.

My first thought...
I don’t see how Geoffrey Baldwin hits at all – looks like he chokes up WAY too far on the bat – or maybe he just so awesome that he only needs to use that much bat to hit with!

Also...
Richard Folmer looks like he’s the team trainer – not a ballplayer. Although, we could use some new “talent” on our training staff so maybe tt’s not a bad idea to acquire one via draft….
