        Usually I wouldn't be so petty but it is hilarious!
        \_ Hrm.  He got it to the plate.  The catcher is a local reservist
           returned from stints in Iraq and Afghanistan.  This take on the
           event is petty and sad. --scotsman
        \_ Fuck you.
        \_ You know, if you want the canidates to drop their pants and measure
           their erect penises to figure out who to vote for, you should just
           ask and stop hiding behind this facade of watching their physical
           feats to figure who is more "manly" and who is the "girlie-man."
        \_ Kerry in space suit looks like a Sperm cell, at nasa
        \_ Yeah, because throwing a baseball is a more important qualification
           for a President than forming coherent sentences and using valid
           English words.
           \_ Don't misunderestimate Bush.
        \_ Five words:  Dubya as a monkey .jpgs.
        \_ I'd vote for Ashcroft if he were to run because he can sing really
           really well (watch F911! It converted me to a Republican) and
           he actually looks good on television.
                \_ second that, if he weren't a politician he'd make a pretty
                   decent singer/actor.
           \_ Nonetheless, his looks and the signing ability weren't enough
              to defeat a DEAD opponent in 2000 Missouri election for senate.
        \_ Bush threw a pitch once before a game.  Catcher told him
           not to bounce the pitch or else the crowd would boo him.
           Bush threw a strike to the plate.
           \_ George W. Bush was president of his fraternity at Yale.  What
              do you expect?
           \_ This comment and the one above re: Ashcroft are a very good
              approximation of the level of analysis we're going to see of
              this election from the TV news.
              \_ Who takes TV news seriously?  Hey, who even watches it?
                 \_ Sadly, quite a lot of people.
           \_ Dubya had another bike accident yesterday.
              \_ Let's mail some more pretzels to the White House.
              \_ Uh, yeah, and Kerry has had a bike fall and a ski wreck he
                 blamed on some poor bastard from his security detail.  Does
                 that make them both stupid and incompetent or does it make
                 Bush stupid while Kerry is athletic?
        \_ My love is bigger than your love, Sing it.

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. View Replies To: Azzurri Manny Ortiz just got a base hit. But what about Pedro Garciaparra -- is he going to make an appearance? And I always cheer whenever Nomar Martinez is at the plate. View Replies To: NavySEAL F-16 He's a democrat in Massachusettes... and his jewish grandfather had the intelligence to change his name to an Irish surname. View Replies To: rintense Sent espn this comment: Enjoying the coverage of the Democratic convention tonight from Fenway. I thought only the major networks were sending reporters. View Replies To: finnman69 Anticipated Kerry quote for tomorrow... "Well, I was going throw the ball all the way to the catcher, but without full UN support it would've been irresponsible. Besides, since I voted against funding our troops, I knew the catcher wouldn't have a suitable mit." View Replies To: over3Owithabrain Aflac said something gay about Arod being proud of his hits, but Ben thought Arods hits were cheap. Maybe they were "cheap hits" because the Red Sox's defense is the worst in the league! Besides, that game-winning hit on Friday hit the scoreboard, and was hardly cheap. View Replies To: SandyInSeattle The Yankees are probably maxed out as far as the number of ESPN Sunday night baseball games this year. There are a finite number of games that they are allowed to show on ESPN for each team. I'd be willing to bet that they won't be showing that game. They usually reserve the Yankee games for like Yankees-Mets, Yankees-Red Sox, Yankees-Dodgers (this year), etc. View Replies To: rintense You, like too many freepers - are too high-strung, and I've been sending out warning posts. PS - until about 10 days ago, I assumed that Canadian part of Michigan was a nature preserve - but a poster claimed he lives there.

Suddam was no immediate threat to us or possible never a threat. The only reason Bush wanted Suddam dead is b/c when his father was President Hussein had a contract for his head. Why are we sending millions of dollars to other countries to fight hunger and disease when millions of people in the United States of America are fighting the same things people than those countries we are funding.

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. View Replies To: NYCVirago The Times already listed him on Friday as going to the game. I'm telling you, the whole last-minute diversion thing was done for dramatic effect. Why should he care about the little people in Florida, when he can get face time on ESPN all evening? Rivalry Remains Same, but Yanks Are Different from Friday, July 23, 2004: "The pitching matchups in Boston are Jon Lieber (7-6) against Curt Schilling (12-4) tonight, Tanyon Sturtze (3-2) against Bronson Arroyo (3-7) tomorrow afternoon, and Jos Contreras (8-3) against Derek Lowe (8-9) on Sunday night, when the Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, who sometimes wears a Red Sox cap on the campaign trail, will be on display for the New England vote." That is the most hysterical moment of his campaign so far. To think, when Kerry seemed detined to win the nomination I experienced a little grief that the entertainment value of Dean would be lost. he screams elitist even in the way he prances on a ball field. To all those Dems in Cali still unable to understand what a "girlie man" is, you have one in living color here. Given how Kerry treats his secret service agents when he screws up, we have to keep tabs on what happened to this brave young man. View Replies To: rintense my email to ESPN aka DNC "Color me angry with ESPN's non-coverage of the game tonight. At least it was billed as a game but you turned it into a political rally. Kerry Diverts His Plane to See Red Sox-Yanks Game BOSTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry diverted his campaign plane on Sunday to make a surprise visit to Boston for the Yankees-Red Sox baseball game. "This plane is diverted," he told reporters aboard his chartered Boeing 757 shortly after it left Columbus, Ohio, ostensibly for Titusville, Florida. "It's a wonderful rivalry and it's a great event," Kerry said. "I love the Red Sox, the idea of missing a Yankees-Red Sox series right before convention week was not acceptable." The Massachusetts senator, who on Thursday will formally accept at the Democratic convention his party's nomination as President Bush's opponent, was attending the 8:05 pm EDT game at storied Fenway Park and then resuming his original schedule. The rivalry between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox is among the most heated in US professional sports. The information contained In this news report may not be published, broadcast or otherwise distributed without the prior written authority of Reuters Ltd. He neglected to mention that it would make a wonderful photo op. View Replies To: Hipixs "The pitching matchups in Boston are Jon Lieber (7-6) against Curt Schilling (12-4) tonight, Tanyon Sturtze (3-2) against Bronson Arroyo (3-7) tomorrow afternoon, and Jos Contreras (8-3) against Derek Lowe (8-9) on Sunday night, when the Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, who sometimes wears a Red Sox cap on the campaign trail, will be on display for the New England vote." As soon as I heard that the media spun this as Kerry's surprise appearance, I hunted for and found the Times article to post, so that people would know it was a fraud. I even sent the link to Drudge with an explanation, to no avail. Results as of July 10, 2004: GROUPS WITH DATA 6 Vietnam vets this weekend at HS reunion, all oppose Kerry. powmiavets Our heli-vets pol shows 160 against and 6 for Kerry. Ron Leonard, 25th Aviation Battalion I know about 650 Vietnam vets and their attitude toward about Kerry is 100% negative. Tony Cartlidge-Vietnam Combat Marine, 1968 Of 27 Vietnam Veterans I know, including myself, not one is willing to vote for John Kerry. Charles Banto, USMC 1958-1974 100,000 e-mails, almost all veterans, around 100 to 1 against Kerry. Don Bendell, Special Forces, Vietnam, 1968-69, noted author Out of 25 guys, 90% against Kerry. Mike- mleonardos 240 vets, mostly Vietnam, 85% against Kerry. Vietnam vet, Tom Taylor I'd make the numbers 80 to 20 against Kerry. GROUPS WITH NO DATA Every vet we know is opposed to Kerry. Chuck and Mary Schantag, POW Network Rangers are 100% against Kerry. NOATLMUS44 - President Every veteran I've talked to is against Kerry. Stud 369 I share the distrust I hear from my veteran colleagues. Peter McHugh, CW4 USA, '67-'68 ,'71-'72 I would say 90% of the military here (power plant) are against Kerry. View Replies To: finnman69 He was wearing his nantucket khakis and a pressed blue dress shirt. The first time my husband went to Nantucket to visit his sister, he came back and told me that he was never going to buy another pair of khakis, or docksider shoes. He said it was like a uniform there, with a button down collar blue shirt, with the sleeves rolled up. On a warm day (which wasn't often)he said that they wore khaki shorts. View Replies To: finnman69 At Fenway Park, supporters distributed signs reading, "Sox Fans for Kerry." I didn't see an explanation of Fenway's signs and banners rule on the Red Sox website. I know that some ballparks prohibit political banners at games. View Replies To: Ichneumon And Kerry's no longer sitting next to his wife, he has moved to the row behind her. Did you ever hear somebody yak so much at a game as Kerry did? Btw boys and girls, his ass isn't fat, he's wearing body armor below the waist. Compare his bizarre looking Dockers (yeah like he'd wear Dockers), and his cute little bike shorts. The Dems are really going to give this buffoon the nomination? Pundits will look back to this photo-op just as they did after the Bush-Dukakis race. Pray for the president and work for his redefeat as our sorry SoreLosermen freinds put it. View Replies To: finnman69 You know, I finally found an issue on which Senator Ketchup and I agree -- the designated hitter. Seantor Ketchup called for its abolition, a position I have been advocating for 30 years. Of course, that probably means that he will be for the DH next week, or was for it last week. View Replies To: Floratina I agree, there would have been boos for W too. I think they were booing the incredible hassle the DNC has created for them as locals this week. after posing on ice skates, skis, snowboards, wind surfing, roller blading, throwing a football, riding a very expensive racing bicycle appropriately attired (per Lance Armstrong), only to blow the opening pitch at a baseball game with his best girlie boy effort ... Don't forget the motorcycle ride onto the set of the Tonight Show. Damn, he must be cool, edgy and "down with the people", too. View Replies To: JRios1968 Only Euroweenie, Commie, Girly-men throw from the Grass! To be fair, W owned a baseball team, Yaaaaawn got a Purple Heart from the last Pineapple he threw. Note to self: when throwing a grenade make sure to be able to throw more than 20'. View Replies To: All I'm just reading my Yankee email fan list, and the fans are not happy over the game's coverage. Even nonpolitical people are puking over ESPN's turning a big game into a Kerry infomercial. If I'm coaching a team and a kid shows me that pitch, I'm checking the minimum play rule and expecting grief from his dad! My Dad was one of the coaches, and the guy accross the street was the other. I did get to play on local broadcast TV for an inning though. last Disclaimer: Opinions posted on Free Republic are those of the individual posters and do not necessarily represent the opinion of Free Republic or its management.
