He gave himself a fist pump. Everything about this clown is stage.

Marxists are usually really weak throwers. Karl Marx was the same way

For those who might want to relive the moment of a great pitch in 2001.......

They should have had MoBelle throw out the first pitch. She would have looked like one of those big, hairy galluts that used to play baseball against Bugs Bunny. The ones that used to smoke cigars while they played. At least she would have got the ball to the damn plate!

most ceremonial first pitches are dreadfully bad.
most are thrown by guys in their 60’s or 70’s who have not thrown in decades.
mccain and dole (due to war injuries) would not be able to throw it at all.

If you hadn't been here so long I'd swear you were a troll

I’m sure I watched a couple during the only two Diamondback games I’ve been to.

That answered my question. I don’t think that Pink is his color.

The announcer covered for him, saying he got the ball “to the plate and to the glove of” the catcher.

What a baldface lie. Everybody who watched the 2nd camera angle knows it’s a lie. It never made it to the plate.

I think it hit the dirt, a one hopper to the catcher.

Yahoo has a better angle of the pitch on the replay when Joe Buck starts talking. You have to sit through the first bad angle and then there's an overhead shot from MLB TV It was an intentionally weird angle and the cameraman jerked the camera away from the plate as the ball was getting there.
