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

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!

I posted "Why Kerry will lose and it won't even be close" before reading this thread.

Great minds think alike.

America will notice.

This MUST be a TV commercial.

AND HE GOT BOOED BIG TIME WHEN HE WAS WALKING TO THE MOUND

Yep, two time looser. Get's booed and then throws a wild pitch.

LOL, thanks for showing me the gilry-man starting point! HILARIOUS. But what gets me, is with all of the time Kerry and Edwards spend playing catch together, why can't Kerry take the mound!

I bet the Florida Dems were pretty ticked that Kerry that this ballgame was more important than their planned rally.

Bttt for a true girly man!

161, yes it's a girly man walk!

We need to thank Arnold for bringing up the girly man talk. We'll make this stick to Kerry!

On Sunday we witnessed America’s Greatest pure athlete win his 6th straight Le Tour de Lance then that night saw one of America’s Worst athletes lob out the first pitch? The contrasts could not have been more strident. Why does America produce from a very limited number such quality athletes that it dominates a sport the world cherishes? Simple, America is the most creative, talented and hard working nation on the planet. The opposite end of that spectrum was on display in Camden Yards.

Lance Armstrong is not only a great personal story of an unbelievable athlete, he embodies much that has made this Country the Greatest Country in history. His overcoming cancer and getting back on the Tour stronger than when he started is testimony to his personal fortitude. Unfortunately his marriage was a disaster although we do not know the specifics except speculation of his obsession with the sport. There are two children that have been tragically hurt by his bicycling and that cannot be diminished and is not what this story is about.

How is it that America can dominate a sport that the country has little interest in and is outnumbered by casual bike riders 100-1 vs the Europe and Asia? Between Greg Lemond and Lance we have completely dominated this race? What is it about America that it can continue to turn out these types of athletes from our minuscule numbers of competitors? It is simple, we have the most creative and innovative training methods ever devised. It is in our mentality that we are willing to experiment and create which sets us apart from the other autocratic Socialistic societies.

Lance Armstrong after he overcame cancer deturmined he needed a new way of riding a bike to get back in contention. He found that if he increased his leg speed and had a higher cadence he could climb hills faster than the standard slow cadence up the mountain. This allowed him to use his superior cardiovascular system to offset the weakness in his legs. As his strength increased he found that the high cadence became even more effective and has completely dominated the sport which continues to use the slow cadence method. The Europeans are now 5-7 years behind his training and with their inability to change will not use his methods. That is American know how and capitalism in a nutshell. In The USA necessity is the mother of invention and immediate flexibility is the key.

The Demosaurs would have Lance go back to the slow cadence so the Europeons would like him more. They feel the Eurotrash are the model to follow. They don’t believe that America should dominate but just run with the pack. Lance would rather be feared and admired than loved. He would rather run in front of the pack with a few loyal friends than with the middle or back of the peletron. He did not work as hard as he did and make as many sacrifices as he did so that he could give it away to the Germans or Frogs. He dominates the race and in the end it makes the race stronger, safer and better.

We witnessed the other end of the athletic spectrum on Sunday night. Yaaawn Girly Tax & Kerry lobbed out the first weenie pitch of the night. That was what you would expect someone who attempts to be France. Someone who has no American can do attitude but wants to give all the power to the world. There was no strength or honor in that muff, only an exhibition of strident inflexibility and wimpishness. That was a pitcher who would be happy if America ran in the rear of the peletron so nobody in front would be offended. The results of that pitch displayed what that belief will get you, a ball bouncing past the catcher on it’s way to oblivion.

Pray for W and Our Amazing Troops

Since when do the Red Sox have a military man as a catcher? I feel much more secure with him at the plate, sKerry.

Opportunistic Buffoon!

We should see if we can talk the FEC into calling the ESPN coverage an in-kind campaign contribution.

... and these comments are the reason that George is going to have a harder time getting re-elect than he should. I hope you guys are up on your facts enough to actually debate with an informed Democrat, instead of just name-calling and bitching about how unfair everything is. It's like seeing a Christian who judges others and then can't defend their own religion. If you really want George back in office the way that I do, you'll learn to spout facts and act less immature.
