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!
Naw, interviewing him was fine, ESPN would have done the exact same thing if Bush was at the park. Plus asking him about Pete Rose wasn't a softball, and outed Kerry's waffling tendencies.
But I do wonder if Jon Miller was one of those media members complaining about the inadequate bathrooms in Boston. I wouldn't want to be sitting under the press box windows at Fenway right now...
Here's the URL for the press release I referenced.
I know for certain that ESPN-HD's native format is 720p
Ditto for ABC and Fox. HD-Net, CBS and NBC are in 1080i.

Waffling the ball does that. Maybe he was waiting for UN approval for his high, inside spin ball but the crowd got impatient so he threw the safe pitch.
This could be SERIES that a$$ is HUGH!!!
Pray for W and Our Troops
Kerry: That's right, the catcher F--ked it up, I never expected him to F it up.
Well from recent news reports .. sounds like he achieved that
Thanks for the link, I need to figure out why it's dsiplaying 1080i.
I just love that picture. LOL!
The press is lying, Miss Marple. Like I posted, the Times wrote several days that he was going to be at the game Sunday. Remember, Kerry said himself he had this planned for a week -- why all the subterfuge and last-minute diversion nonsense? Because it makes him sound like a big fan to take time off his campaign trail to go to this.
For a baseball game? I doubt it.

I believe it. Kerry is so jealous of everything that GWB does he could just spit! He has constantly made insulting remarks about Bush's 'photo-ops,' and yet so many times, I have seen Kerry do just what he disparaged Bush about.
Exactly. Of course Kerry doesn't know squat about Pete Rose, Sandy Koufax, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, or even what constitutes a full count.
The fact is, ESPN gave him FREE MEDIA COVERAGE tonight. And although WE all see through him for the PUTZ he is, some out there watching may not. To them, this may make Kerry seem like the "All American Candidate" to the uninformed. That is his agenda.
Shame on you ESPN. My email to you voicing my disgust is forthcoming.
Actually it's an insult to girls. Many female college and high school softball pitchers have a hell of a lot of steam on the ball. I certainly wouldn't want to hit against them. (This from a guy who's brother could pitch a softball in at 75 mph, as measured by a radar gun, well into his late 30s.)
I'd say Jacques throws like a Frenchman, or a wuss, but I repeat myself.
I'm sure he's putting in for another medal for being booed.

I kid you not. I just asked my family (they were in the car with me) and they all heard CBS say it was a strike. What a joke.
Just saw a pic of Kerry throwing pitch and he wasn't even on the mound but rather on the grass in front of the mound. What a girlie man.
Somebody needs to get Drudge to correct his front page about the surprise that wasn't.
