   The weakened economy is hitting everyone these days. Even Eric Sogard has to work two jobs to make ends meet.

   With all due respect disregarded… Looks like a substitute teacher as he’s being booked in the To Catch a Predator mobile command unit.

   Chase Blackburn was a substitute teacher *and* intercepted Tom Brady in the Super Bowl, so this buy being both a pitcher and teacher doesn’t seem so far-fetched.

     I believe ex-Nationals starting pitcher Jason Bergmann was also a substitute teacher.

       There was a player a couple of years ago that was a substitute teacher in one of Dexter Fowler’s HS classes….and then played against him in a game. I just can remember who it was….I think he was a Cubs 2b.

     Eric Justin Toth, is wanted for possessing child porn, not actually touching children, and he replaced Bin Laden on the most wanted list. Come on, criminals!! Get going. This is the best of the best of America’s seedy underbelly? Unless the criminals are just so good that authorities don’t know who committed the crimes, in which case, well done, criminals.

   As an actual substitute teacher that doubles as a Twins fan that is leaving this comment in the middle of my prep period, all I have to say to this is…. yes.

   Also, that’s some excellent lens flare in that photo.

    Has anyone else noticed that Maroon 5 and The Voice can never find Adam Levin when Justin Verlander pitches?
