Ladies And Gentlemen, Presenting Reed Johnson

Yo, watch the beat!

[...]when Giants coach Steve Owen, a certified defensive genius, was asked how he planned to stop Nagurski, he said: "With a shotgun, as he’s leaving the dressing room."

Guys, hitting is not about muscle. It's simple physics. Calculate the velocity, v, in relation to the trajectory, t, in which g, gravity, of course remains a constant.... It's not complicated. - George Costanza

Is Reed thinking about if this year he could have another catch like

Milwaukee or Nats?

Given the background there

Are they sure that ismn’t Fitch rather than Ho Ho Kam? Not that it really matters.

Chicago. Enough said.

I thought the same thing.

On second thought

after looking at some of my pictures, it very well could be HoHoKam and probably is.

based on the fence in the background it looks like Fitch to me

If you look closely, they do have some fences at HoHoKam

where they might have taken this.

That being said, most of the pictures I've seen are definitely from Fitch.

Always knew it as a soul patch, this is so bizarre to me. I kinda like it though, despite having some vulgar undertones

Clearly, his face is saying

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Each Pokemon to understand
The power that’s inside
Pokemon, its you and me
I know it?s my destiny
Pokemon, oh, you’re my best friend
In a world we must defend
Pokemon, a heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I’ll teach you
Pokemon, gotta catch ‘em all
Every challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle every day
To claim my rightful place
Come with me, the time is right
There’s no better team
Arm in arm we’ll win the fight
It’s always been our dream
