Happy Father’s Day From Darth Vader

Whatcha doing Darth?

Oh nothing. You know, just scaring babies and stuff.

Vader: No, I am your father.
Luke: No. No. That’s not true. That’s impossible!
Vader: Search your feelings; you know it to be true.
Luke: NOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOO!!!

 

Nice Passed Ball There Jon Eddy

Last night Colorado Springs Sky Sox Director of Marketing and Promotions, Jon Eddy, went out to catch the ceremonial 1st pitch:

Sox maul Grizzlies 7-3
All set meat. Bring the heat. I can take it.

Most 1st pitches are on target, some are not, this one was in the dirt:

Sox maul Grizzlies 7-3
DAMMIT EDDY! YOU’VE GOT TO SHIFT YOUR BODY TO BLOCK THOSE!
DON’T JUST FLIPPIN’ OLE THE DAMN BALL!

It’s in the dirt and with a whiff and a miss of the glove the ball made its way to the backstop:

Sox maul Grizzlies 7-3
Don’t look at your glove there Yogi. That’s not to blame here.

When the ball gets by you guess what?

Sox maul Grizzlies 7-3
Well, crap! Nothing left to do now but…

Yup. You get to chase it to the backstop!

Sox maul Grizzlies 7-3
…run and pick it up.
Say hi to the fans while your back there.

Thanks for the entertainment Jon! (Not that we’d do any better  ; )

Cosmic Tumblers Have Clicked Into Place

“There comes a time when all the cosmic tumblers have clicked into place and the universe opens itself up a few seconds to show you what’s possible.” Terrance Mann, Field of Dreams

The cosmic tumblers click for me tonight – Bad posture? Check. Mouth-breathing? Check. Fondling a ball? Check. What we have here is perhaps the world’s most perfect picture. I rock!

Hot damn! It’s Derek Zoolander!

And, and! I also got the headshot I’ve been chasing for over a month!

It’s in through the mouth, out through the nose.
The mouth should only be one part of the equation.

If you build it, they will DERP.
