Kerry to throw out first pitch at Sox game tonight! 8pm edt

[Bluebear]

ESPN game of the week

[Bluebear]

1. Hope he rocks Fenway!

[Bombtrack]

2. you beat me by seconds

[Bluebear]

3. Pretty cool news eh?

[Bluebear]

4. Hope Cheney is watching since the Yankees booed him lol

[Bluzmann57]

6. The Yankees fans who booed cheney

have at least one redeeming feature. How will Yankee fans respond to a New Englander as pres.? Just kidding Yankee fans.

[lancdem]

5. Me, too!

[Renew Deal]

7. Good, and I hope the Yankeee's win.

[Bluebear]

8. Well no accounting for taste ;)

[wndycty]

9. Did you see the Sox fans for Kerry sign?

[eleny]

10. Cheering and no booing - KEWL!

[wndycty]

15. There were boos. . .

. . .if you notice ESPN kept the sound down to make sure you heard neither. . .its a ball park the crowd reaction will always be mixed unless you are Bush at Yankee Stadium right after 9/11.

[WilliamPitt]

11. Ugh. Terible throw.

[Bombtrack]

12. Was it Kerry's bad throw or a bad catch by the catcher? Either way it was

not good to watch.

[Bluebear]

16. Better than our middle relievers though.

sh-doom-bah!

[lancdem]

22. A little of both, I think

[jpgray]

13. LOL--girl-like or just loopy, slow and rainbow-esque? (nt)

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. Who Was The Pres Who Threw A Grounder?

Was it Papa Bush?


I'll bet Jim Bunning wouldn't throw a grounder...


Geez, the pitcher I watched as a little kid is now a Repug senator.....



The horror....

[lancdem]

19. That was my reaction

I have to admit I winced when it bounced up there. Oh well, if that's Kerry's biggest flaw, I can live with that!

[Uzybone]

14. Yikes

that was definately less than a strike. Oh well its only baseball. Lowe will be throwing like Kerry did tonight.

[Bombtrack]

17. F you. Lowe generally is solid at Fenway

If I were Kerry I would have taken about 30 practice throws at some secret location. You KNOW Bush did that before the 2001 world series.

[wndycty]

20. Lowe better throw well. . .

. . .he is pitching for me in fantasy baseball.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

23. I'm nervous-Lowe has been TERRIBLE lately

[Bombtrack]

26. MOstly on the road though. He's like night and day when you compare him

to how he pitches at home.

[JohnKleeb]

18. at least he can windsurf heh

Imagine Bush trying to do the extreme sports Kerry does.

[Bluebear]

21. Bush can't ride a bike let alone extreme sports lol

[jpgray]

25. I couldn't believe it when I heard he kiteboards

That's a very difficult sport--requires a lot of concentration, and can be tough on a sixty year-old guy!

[rumguy]

27. The freepers are gloating about this

They are also saying he was booed.

Kerry should have practiced beforehand, he wasn't even on the mound.

[59millionmorons]

28. He wasnt booed

Look at the replay, they were clapping. If it was Bush, we would all be saying he got booed. Unfortunatly they just showed the replay on MSNBC and the crowd was clapping.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

29. He wasn't booed-my brother-in-law is at the game

but I'm sure the handful of freeptards in the audience that did boo will be interviewed after the game.

[rinsd]

30. It was mixed....not surprising...

Some of the Fenway faithful boo anyone throwing out the first pitch. Not a big deal.
