Did you notice that the Fox cameras zeroed on Obama throwing out the first pitch and DIDN'T show where the ball went? By contrast, both times I've seen GWB throw out the first pitch the cameras were behind him, as they are in actually games. ...and everyone saw the accuracy of the pitch (both strikes, btw). But not with Obama. It's as if he was being protected from being humiliated by a possible errant pitch. Sickening.

I noticed the driver of the cart was not happy even a little and didn’t want to shake his hand. I am on IM with a good friend and I told him what had happened.

Did you hear the moron announcers say ZERO was a lifelong White Sox fan when he didn’t live in Chicago until he was an adult. I am sure his Mother and grandparents could have cared less about sports. What a phoney.

I think you’re right; he was from Donora,PA , a mining town, probably a quintessentially Reagan Democrat background 50 years later here, and likely a place they “cling to...”

I have never seen them not show the pitch from the person to the plate — this was a first and would bet with lack of applause he threw it into the dirt with his pitching style. Fox Sports baseball announcers SUCK.

Yep. I just checked the DVR and the catcher set up in front of the plate, the camera moved off of the catcher as the ball neared the plate and FOX did not show the catcher catching ball. Guess I’ll have to look in tomorrow morning’s post to see if the ball bounced.

Here’s the vid of Bush throwing out the first pitch in game 3 of the WS.

I watched this "cover-up" on a 46" 16:9 aspect ratio HD tv.

The initial shot has the catcher on screen at the lower right hand corner. As the ball nears the plate, the camera moves left just enough to have the catcher not shown.

It was pathetically calculated and intentional.

It must have looked really odd in 4:3 aspect ratio.

Obama says he wouldn’t have run for President if he’d had a good curveball.. well he did run for President with a pretty good screwball.

Obammma also said he wouldn’t run (being the quarterback that he is) if America wasnt’ the tight end it was.

I don’t like zer0 any more than the rest of us here but soem of the boooos were probably due to him wearing a White Sox jacket. The rest were well deserved. And no, I’m not taking up for zer0. Just an observation.

BTW, where was TOTUS? Must have been in the bull pen or in the dugout.

That’s because they didn’t show where his pitch landed. I am better it was in the dirt and very short the way he threw the ball.

Just wait until he gets in the booth with the Fox announcers to help with announcing. Without the teleprompter, he will never get it right.
