Being a genius with an incredible knowledge of sports history Obama was demonstrating the Eephus pitch. He had seen it, as a boy, at Kaminsky Field.
Democrat politicians cannot throw baseballs or footballs, because those are used in American sports.
They should have had Michelle throw the pitch. I’m sure she could bring the heat.

The point is not that he throws like a girl. The point is the enemedia worked so hard to cover for him. He could simply dismiss his poor throw with even a flat joke such as "I guess baseball isn't my sport." As I recall, John Kerry did a girlie throw during the 2008 campaign and made a similar flat joke. It didn't even last one day's news cycle.
The enemedia is just digging themselves deeper by trying to convince us what beautiful clothes the emperor is wearing. Those who will bother to look can clearly see he ain't wearing anything.

man - you nailed it like Koufax throwing the high hard one
To: EtheWise
The significance of it is that he decreed in advance that there was to be no shot of where the throw went. His expressed relief in that “I didn’t short it” is a flat out lie. Pujols may have caught it on the fly, but it took an extra effort and he was crouched in front of the plate anyway. Its just another example of declaring what reality is and having the media go along with it rather than report the truth.

I can’t run for office: EPIC FAIL golfer here. No biggie. As long as you don't pretend you can play, you should be fine.

Still brings tears to my eyes.

And he said he even practiced his throw in the bullpen a few times. Loser.

I can’t claim ownership or invention. It’s been around. But it fits perfectly.
