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!

The NYT could very well be telling the truth and Kerry could have not told people and let them believe the next stop was Fl and not Boston

I can see Kerry and his Camp doing this

No wonder he fragged himself with that grenade...

Uhhhh....that would be his Vietnam buddy who is always on the podium with Kerry - the one who was going for a beer and then picked up a live grenade by mistake -- and who was actually not in the combat zone either.

Kinda narrow in the shoulder and broad across the butt, innee?? He's not just a girlie-man, he's a pear shaped girlie man! He doesn't pitch like a girl! I can (and have) pitched from the mound, and I AM a girl! (well, before becoming a grandma)

"I wonder if the vet was to throw out the first ball and kerry pre-empted that hero?"

That's what I heard. That Kerry bumped him for this photo-op.

Check out this Jonathan Last column from the Weekly Standard:

FOR AS LONG as politicians have been throwing out first pitches, fans have been booing them. So it was no surprise last night when the crowd at Fenway Park let Kerry have it. As soon as it was announced that Kerry would be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch, the Boston faithful began booing.

This was somewhat surprising, since many people in the stands were carrying posters with "Team Kerry" and "For a Stronger America: Kerry-Edwards." After the initial wave of booing, some applause mixed in. Then Kerry threw a weak pitch from the grass in front of the mound. It bounced over home plate. The booing came back in force.

All was then quiet on the Kerry front until the 7th inning, when a woman waving a "Team Kerry" poster was put on the Jumbo-tron. The crowd instantly, and vigorously, booed again. Team Kerry shouldn't be overly concerned with the boo birds, but they might be a little worried about how uncomfortable Kerry seems with middle-America events, like sports.

Yup, just announced on Rush. The hero was bumped for the zero.

If you really want a lying, sissy girl, mind-changing, political-poser for your president, vote Kerry.

Otherwise, for a REAL MAN, it's Bush all the way! 4 more years.

Zot you!

Kerry was less than the normal 60FT 6 inches from home plate--far less. He still couldn't get it to the catcher who was standing behind the plate in the normal position.

Bostondirtdogs.com, a Red Sox fan site, has a picture of Kerry's pathetic throw, with the description:

Short and Cheat
Kerry Elects to Skimp on First Pitch but Still Can't Go the Distance

That about sums it up.

Reminds me of the ending of Chariots of Fire.

He's not just light in the shoulders and heavy in the hips, he's either light in the loafers or a heartbeat away from tripping over his own feet in this pic.

Thanks for the news on Giambi. I've been worried about him, particularly after seeing a closeup of him at Saturday's game. He does not look like a healthy man. Let's hope his tests come back okay.

Your contributions to this thread have been very valuable. Thanks, I will be cheering for the Yankees this year (for the first time in my life!), in order for the karma to work for W.

Thanks! For what it's worth, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner and Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez have donated maximum money to Bush's campaign, while the Red Sox owners are all bigtime Kerry donors. To be fair, pitcher Keith Foulke on the Red Sox supports the War on Terror and wore a flag on his hat to support the troops. But as far as comparing ownerships, it's clear who supports W, and who supports Kerry.

I have pledged my two-word response to every picture of Kerry posted on the forum until the election:

"Shove it."
