Baseball Picture of the Day: “Thanks for the hint, Jason.”

18 days until the greatest words in the world are said.

By which I mean “Pitchers and Catchers report today.”

“It’s a Boy (or Girl)”, “I Do”, “You’ve won a million dollars”, “I love you” and “You have been accepted to [prestigious university here]” are just runners up.

All Parents, Married People, Millionaires, Lovers and Snobby High-Level Collegiates can complain all they want.

Today’s image comes from a Nationals event that took place JUST YESTERDAY:

And now, my guess of how Jason Marquis ended up doing this:

“Who are you?”
“I’m Jason Marquis.”
“Who are you again?”
“Jason Marquis, 2009 All-Star, member of the 2006 World Champion St. Louis Cardinals.”
“Wait, I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you.”
“I threw a no-hitter in the third-place game of the 1991 Little League World Series.”
“Yes, but I’m sorry, I still don’t know who you are. You are wearing a Nationals jersey, after all, and you are not Ryan Zimmerman or Stephen Strasburg. So I don’t know who you are.”
“Maybe this will help. I’ll hold my name in front of me the entire time.”
“Oh, you are Jason Marquis! What the hell are you doing on the Nationals?”
