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!

Mr. Kerry, no penguins allowed on the field.

From here on out Kerry tanks. This night has been a godsend. It's been to good and funny to be true! Truly John's pride has come before his fall. Pundits will look back to this photo-op just as they did after the Bush-Dukakis race. Pray for the president and work for his redefeat as our sorry SoreLosermen freinds put it.

You know, I finally found an issue on which Senator Ketchup and I agree -- the designated hitter. Seantor Ketchup called for its abolition, a position I have been advocating for 30 years.

Of course, that probably means that he will be for the DH next week, or was for it last week. "I was for the DH before I was against it."

I'd like to know why Ramirez always uses the same nasty-looking batting helmut?

Superstition. He probably thinks it brings him luck. Jocks at all levels are extremely superstious.

I agree, there would have been boos for W too.

I'm not so sure. I think they were booing the incredible hassle the DNC has created for them as locals this week.

can you be THAT UGLY and still be a girlie-man?

Ever looked at Betty Friedan or Patricia Ireland? Senator Ketchup is prettier than those two.

And his overt rooting for the Red Sawx, as shown on ESPN, can't help his chances in New York.

Damn ... after posing on ice skates, skis, snowboards, wind surfing, roller blading, throwing a football, riding a very expensive racing bicycle appropriately attired (per Lance Armstrong), only to blow the opening pitch at a baseball game with his best girlie boy effort ... what a blow to his carefully honed athletic prowess.

Don't forget the motorcycle ride onto the set of the Tonight Show. Damn, he must be cool, edgy and "down with the people", too.

Only Euroweenie, Commie, Girly-men throw from the Grass! Real men throw from 60'!!! To be fair, W owned a baseball team, Yaaaaawn got a Purple Heart from the last Pineapple he threw. Note to self: when throwing a grenade make sure to be able to throw more than 20'.

Pray for W and Our Troops

I'm just reading my Yankee email fan list, and the fans are not happy over the game's coverage. Even nonpolitical people are puking over ESPN's turning a big game into a Kerry infomercial.

No surprise there. ABC owns ESPN.

Well they did at one time I think. Now Disney owns them both. Sorry 'bout that.

No offense to Right Fielders! If I'm coaching a team and a kid shows me that pitch, I'm checking the minimum play rule and expecting grief from his dad!

And how do I know this? Well I was superstitious too, and I was just the student manager. :) If we won, I'd wear the same clothes for ever game until we lost one.

My Dad was one of the coaches, and the guy accross the street was the other. I still got the minimum required play time. I did get to play on local broadcast TV for an inning though. That was kinda neat.

And Pres. Bush was on the mound, no less. Kerry wimps it out from in front of the mound.
