Kerry just flubbed the opening pitch at the Yanks-Sox game
ESPN | 7/25/04 | me

Posted on 07/25/2004 5:06:57 PM PDT by finnman69

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!

Time to put ESPN on the spot.

During the GOP convention, the NY Yankees will be hosting the Cleveland Indians. If ESPN chooses to braodacst one of the games, we should ask them if the plan to give the President the slober job that it appears they are doing for Kerry if he should attend the game.

That's a possibility, because honestly, I haven't looked at it until you asked, at which point I went up to the box (it's far enough away that the small format display is too small for me) and looked. When I switched around to a couple different HD channels, it definitely changed. The broadcast tonight looks as good as anything I've seen.

Samsung SIR TS360 is the model tuner I'm using.

Funny how the "two America" guy thinks its charming to turn his plane around, throw out the first pitch at the spur of the moment and get front row seats for a game that most fans couldn't even get tickets.

Worse than that -- he pretends it's spur of the moment in the same article where he admits it was planned for a week! And the same media which knew the trip was pre-planned passes on his lies hook, line and sinker.

IMHO, I think the Dem Convention will become a Bush bashing pep rally, complete with a "Mosh Pit"

I say this because John Kerry has not presented a single detail of his so called "Plan". He tells everybody that he has a plan, but he has yet to detail it. John Kerry's campaign has been focused on bashing Bush and nothing else. He has proposed 2 Trillion dollars of spending and claims it will be paid for by cutting out the tax cuts for those who earn more than $200,000.00 a year.

Bottom line is this, John Kerry has nothing to run on, all he offers is pessimism and hate

Looks like Kerry can't keep it up.

What really happened?? Micheal Rivero, is that you?!??!

I hope not. To all Freepers, thanks for what has to be the most amusing thread I've read since 1998. I haven't laughed so hard in months. Maybe years.

This Kerry guy is a string bean but has a fat butt (like Bill Clinton) and slumped shoulders. Hardly as vigorous looking as George Bush who has broad shoulders from the White House weight room and clearing brush at his Texas ranch.

ESPN sucks anyhow - they are so in love with themselves, snotty, and liberal. I only watch them now when they have an exclusive game broadcast or for ESPN News headlines. Their SportsCenter show is so buttkissing to certain athletes and dismissive of others. They made great fun of a rookie KC Royal pitcher getting shelled in his first game and being sent back down afterwards. I'd like to see those smartass smary "journalists" try to go out there and compete against major-league ballplayers.

That high-five was insulting, so faux-populist but truly elite. What real fan gets to lean over the dugout and make contact with a player during the game? He's acting like a little child.

No kidding. Any of us would have gotten our butts thrown out of the game for that! And this is the guy who thought "Manny Ortez" played for the Red Sox, too -- he's not exactly knowledgeable. Yankee fans are going ballistic over his whole performance right now.

There's one BOOOAA! reason that ESPN has BOOOAA! become mostly BOOOAA! unwatchable lately, and BOOOAA! his name is Stuart BOOOAA! Scott.

BOOOAA!

Russert, Biden and Barnicle.......

Seems like 100% of the lamestream media and about 75% of the Hollyweird crowd just decided all at once to take in a baseball game that John Kerry "sneaked" into, catching all his beat reporters by surprise. Geez, what a co-inky-dink, huh?

Kerry got booed in BOSTON!!!!

There is no way that the election will be a close as the media has been promoting. I say GW by AT LEAST six points in November.

PS: Despite the best efforts to promote Kerry as an athlete and sportsman via photo ops, he is obviously a geek.

Yeah, I was hoping the Red Sox would stop scoring runs so they'd stop showing Kerry. (You probably had two reasons for stopping the Red Sox scoring ;-) ) I ended up changing the channel. My wife has control of the box now, and I'm FReeping instead. This is much more enjoyable, and the picture comments are priceless.

It was even worse -- my Yankees were up at bat trying to start a rally, and I couldn't even watch it thanks to John (Tan in a Can) Kerry.

we don't want it - this ESPN/first pitch event isn't working for Kerry. the last thing we want to see is Bush at the Yankee game in August - its out of place, it's not a time or place for politics.

Well, something's funny, because unless Jean has an evil twin Skippy, he can't be in two places at once.


$$$$


Kerry and the lib media who were in on the 'diversion' have NO regard for the convenience or comfort of the "little people.''

Look at this thread - almost 1000 posts - this is a BIG mistake on the part of Kerry and his 'advisors.'
