The pitch was a bit high, but we'll give it to him on the body armor rule. Oh, and it was from 60ft, not 40 like someone else we won't mention.

President Bush helped welcome the baseball era back to Washington DC as he threw out the first pitch of the Washington Nationals inaugural home game. The President also made remarks at the American Society of Newspaper Editors Convention in Washington. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!
A thank you howdy, Rintense. He's got a great arm, doesn't he?
Hi there! I haven't seen you post for a while. How are you?
He should be out there with the Minutemen.
A news article on yahoo said it was a little high.
No grounders from this guy.
Great pictures. How are you?
Good evening!
I was thinking the same thing. :) Didn't they decorate the Oval Office in Peaches and Cream a few years back? So maybe they always have to have matching roses or something.
When the papersalespeople in the grocery stores ask me why I wont take the sj mercury news, i politely tell them.
Howdy
Great photos....even better quotes on the media!
I know, I know, but it's something to read while eating lunch and taking my breaks at work. BTW, I get a kick out of reading the OpEd page sometimes, too. I call it the "scream page".
I sure don't trust them for the news.
Top 50 two days in a row!!! Woohhooo
I'm watching the game on UPN 20 (here in DC). Apparently the roar for the opening pitch announcement and walk-on by the Prez was HUGE. The pitch was a little high but still
cool. W looks great in the bright jacket.
BTTT...MUD
Top 50? Great, but it looks more like top 30 to me
Ratz, I was hoping it would have been a sizzling strike.
I'm just thankful it was President Bush, and not the other guy. He'd have been soooo embarrassing, and would have been the subject of a "caption this loser" thread.
FReegards...MUD
The ball that W is throwing is the very same ball that Joe Grzenda of Pennsylvania threw for the last pitch for the Senators 34 years ago.
It was 95 years ago to the day when President William Howard Taft threw out the first pitch to welcome baseball to the Washington area.
LOLOL.....my dial up is so slow that by the time I type and the post gets sent it's another ten posts or more!!
