The Flash*

Thursday was pretty tame compared to the events of Wednesday night. Everyone arrived at the ballpark excited that we still had another month of spring training baseball to look forward to.


In fact Vocht and Little Kid were so excited they decided to coordinate outfits!!

Through the magic of Chris Allard's lens let's take a look at a typical days production meeting.


So here you have it, the hardest working reporter in the business Jen Mueller pitching story ideas. Dan busy trying to count the seams in a baseball but struggling as his Michigan State education seems to lack in such critical areas such as number recognition. Finally, there is Curt who we aren't sure what he's doing because we don't believe he can even read. Honestly, Curt's only reaction when shown this picture was "I opened the media guide? When the hell did that happen?"

As I said Jen is the hardest working reporter in the business. She is just go, go, go. Doesn't she realize we have a reputation to uphold.


And because of her efforts people actually want to talk to her. In fact, it was apparently Mike Sweeney's highlight of spring training so far.


But not all people in Arizona are hard working, there are a lot of retirees. Speaking of, a famous former Seahawks coach joined us at the ballpark Thursday.


It appears the only thing that will be working hard in this picture is his colon. Those are some serious hot dogs!

After the game (where my boy Shelton crushed his 3rd bomb of the spring) we did Thunderbird where I finished mid-pack. Beating Dan and Curt. Then we were invited to McDuffy's by the hardest working smurf** in the radio industry. She of course called in sick, but we enjoyed a night out in Peoria anyways.

* The title of this entry is actually in reference to Vocht but since he is still being frozen out of the blog I couldn't justify putting any higher than the first asterisk. He joined us for our hike at Thunderbird and we knew it was going to be close to sundown when we finished. We told Vocht that if it got dark to flash his camera every 30 seconds to give us an idea where he was. So when we were in the parking lot and saw his flash we all got a good laugh at the payoff.
