I just reviewed the video of Bush’s pitch, and it looked like a change-up, but he left it a little up.

The guy in the cart that handed this disgrace of a President the ball, was Stan "The Man" Musial - one of the greatest to ever play the game.

But he's a midwesterner, so of course he's ignored by the East Coast ESPN elites - and he is not one to suffer fools so his reaction to Zero is understandable.

I never saw the complete trajectory. Fox was very circumspect in protecting 0 from embarrassment. Got a link to whole thing?

The cheering did seem to mixed, and the Fox audio had an artificial quality to it. What is the audio analog to fauxography?

It was the guy driving the cart who looked like he’d sooner be somewhere else!

Rush Limbaugh’s treatment by ESPN when he discussed Donovan, and the episode with Howard Cosell and others, have showed that sports media is just as liberal and PC

Bowling, he sucks
Golf, he sucks
Baseball, he sucks
I'm sure he sucks at baseball

He's good at one thing...making love to the teleprompter.

A great pitch and part of the making of a fantastic opportunity to renew America that was frittered away in the interest of political correctness.

A former baseball team owner SHOULD be able to pitch, even with a flack jacket on.

Even Marge Schott?

Agreed, God only knows why Fox didn’t include Pujols in that shot. What’s in it for them protecting the sissy throwing 0?

I wonder if Palin throws like a girl.

I bet the catcher would be able to stand behind the plate if she was throwing...

I knew Marge Schott! She had a mean fast ball and a killer breaking ball!
I bet she would remind Obama of his own grandmother, his view of a ‘typical white woman’. (Which she was not. She simply had bad form, no malice intended. But her statements fit the stereotype. IMHO.)
