For those who are baseball fans.

CNN saying they will show the pitch/hit after the commercial 8:56 PM EST

[NMEwithin]

Hey! one thing Yankees and Red Sox fans can agree on...we all hate Barry the same :)

"In 1968 Gibby had something like 12 shutouts. Can you imagine anyone today even being allowed to pitch 9 innings 12 times in a year?"

Leaving steroids out of it, this is another reason why you can't compare players in this generation to players in the post-70s era. So much more was demanded of the players back then, especially pitchers.

Molina looks like Sheppard Smith’s missing latin sister

As a kid, we would go to Wrigley to watch Gibson v. Jenkins,
you talk about fast games. Those 2 guys didn’t waste time
walking around the mound, or any of the BS they do now.

Good memories of Gibson on 8-8-88. He sat 1 row behind us
for the Cubs first night game in Wrigley. The best 3 innings
I can almost remember.

They’ve edited the boos out already.

Wow, for real? I was born in 1974 so I missed “True Baseball: When Baseball was played like Baseball was meant to be played”...

[matt1234]

So did he reach the plate?

Unknown. They didn't show the catcher or the plate. I'm assuming it was planned that way in case 0 threw off the mark.

CNN: “Big Ovation” for Obama.

LOL!

CNN didn’t show the completion of the pitch either.

[nomoremods]

Listen carefully; you can still hear some pretty loud ones, but I didn’t see it initially, so I don’t know if it was even louder.

[stevestras]

LOL, what a windup!

Thanks.

[John W]

Live they were unmistakable.

[Mr. Mulliner]

Lincecum not looking so good. Why can’t he pitch like this when my fantasy team plays against him?

[Babalu]

The don’t make them like Drysdale and Gibson any more.

[Puppage]

Live they were unmistakable.

Who ya gunna believe...CNN or your lie'n ears?

[TBall]

When compared to his golf swing, Obama’s pitch doesn't look all that bad.

[darkangel82]

I think that error threw him off a bit, not his fault. He’ll only be in for one more inning anyways.

[CaptRon]

Steroids aside, today’s player work out all off-seaon. during gibson’s time they all had off-season jobs and got in shape during spring training. Today, all these guys working out off-season end up on the DL! What up wit dat?
