Kerry just flubbed the opening pitch at the Yanks-Sox game
ESPN | 7/25/04 | me

Posted on 07/25/2004 5:06:57 PM PDT by finnman69

Kerry just 'threw' out the opening pitch at the Boston-Yankees game. Just saw Kerry pitch a really weak opening pitch, well short of the plate, bouncing under the catcher. What a poser!

Your post makes no sense to me. And so what if some of us are high strung? Maybe you're low-strung.

Check out this gem on the ESPB board:

Bush Killed Americans Original Message ( Posted: Jul 25, 2004 08:44 PM ) Posted by: hunkusa19 (1 Posts) Report User | reply -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Think of all the thousands of Americans killed in Iraq fighting against Hussein when we should of been concentrating on Bin Laden sending more troops in Afghanisitan. Suddam was no immediate threat to us or possible never a threat. The only reason Bush wanted Suddam dead is b/c when his father was President Hussein had a contract for his head. Why are we sending millions of dollars to other countries to fight hunger and disease when millions of people in the United States of America are fighting the same things people than those countries we are funding.

P.S. - until about 10 days ago, I assumed that Canadian part of Michigan was a nature preserve - but a poster claimed he lives there.

You see - to a New Yorker, that upper chunk of Mich. lookd like Cananda.

It was a joke.

The Times already listed him on Friday as going to the game. I'm telling you, the whole last-minute diversion thing was done for dramatic effect. Why should he care about the little people in Florida, when he can get face time on ESPN all evening?

Here is the NYTimes article:
Rivalry Remains Same, but Yanks Are Different from Friday, July 23, 2004:

"The pitching matchups in Boston are Jon Lieber (7-6) against Curt Schilling (12-4) tonight, Tanyon Sturtze (3-2) against Bronson Arroyo (3-7) tomorrow afternoon, and José Contreras (8-3) against Derek Lowe (8-9) on Sunday night, when the Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, who sometimes wears a Red Sox cap on the campaign trail, will be on display for the New England vote."

Whew...actually read the entire thread!

That is the most hysterical moment of his campaign so far. To think, when Kerry seemed detined to win the nomination I experienced a little grief that the entertainment value of Dean would be lost. LOL

Sheesh....he screams elitist even in the way he prances on a ball field. To all those Dems in Cali still unable to understand what a "girlie man" is, you have one in living color here. :-)

I would like to know what happened to the soldier. Given how Kerry treats his secret service agents when he screws up, we have to keep tabs on what happened to this brave young man.

my email to ESPN aka DNC ~~
"Color me angry with ESPN's non-coverage of the game tonight. At least it was billed as a game but you turned it into a political rally. You are a SPORTS network - not an arm of the DNC.....or are you?"

I'd cut Candidate/Criminal/Comrade Kerry some slack for missing the plate if not for 2 things:

(1) How many photo ops have we seen of JFKerry throwing a baseball, a football, riding a motorcycle, etc.?
Getting the ball to the plate may take more practice than people think. Kerry has gotten plenty of practice in. He wanted the photo op and fell flat on his face.

(2) Kerry made a special detour to take in this photo op, er game. He was not the "scheduled" first pitch. He said "put me in coach" and he flubbed.
BTW, Kerry "hijacked" the press corp passengers to take them to this event:

Kerry Diverts His Plane to See Red Sox-Yanks Game

BOSTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry diverted his campaign plane on Sunday to make a surprise visit to Boston for the Yankees-Red Sox baseball game.

"This plane is diverted," he told reporters aboard his chartered Boeing 757 shortly after it left Columbus, Ohio, ostensibly for Titusville, Florida.

"It's a wonderful rivalry and it's a great event," Kerry said. "I love the Red Sox, the idea of missing a Yankees-Red Sox series right before convention week was not acceptable."

The Massachusetts senator, who on Thursday will formally accept at the Democratic convention his party's nomination as President Bush's opponent, was attending the 8:05 p.m. EDT game at storied Fenway Park and then resuming his original schedule.

The rivalry between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox is among the most heated in U.S. professional sports.

He neglected to mention that it would make a wonderful photo op. L'idiot.
