With John Kerry, nothing is ever as effortless as it should be. So whose idea was it to wheel Kerry out for the first pitch of Sunday's Red Sox-Yankees game, in front of ESPN's largest baseball audience in five years? Kerry -- a self-described card-carrying member of Red Sox Nation, who recently referred to Manny Ramirez as Manny Ortiz -- bounced his shot-putt toss, Rick Vaughn-like, meekly into the Fenway Park dirt and received nearly as many boos as he did cheers from the hometown faithful. You have to give it to the guy, he tries. Of course, it won't go down as a Howard Dean-YeeeeeeHAA! moment, but it probably won't win Kerry any votes either.
To answer your question, Mr. President, Alex Rodriguez is a jerk who claims to be a New Yorker but has never lived there before. He cheats to win, and changed his position as soon as he arrived in New York. You're lucky you've never had to deal with anyone like that."
P.S. The Yanks have a short stop by the name of Derek Jeter! Third base was a good place to put A-Rod and he's played excellent at that spot! There's also quite a few Yankees who have never lived in New York until they were hired by Steinbrenner.
I stand corrected. Thanks for the information.
