You trying to tell me Teddy Roosevelt couldn’t ball?

He also probably had much more practice throwing a baseball.

Well, he certainly has a better jump shot than any other President ever had.

My point is that Bush managed to throw a strike with a vest on, nothing less nothing more. Was just stating that it could be done.

Actually the more time he spends out of the Oval Office the happier I am.

Good call on the DK reference Craig. You don’t hear nearly enough appreciation for terrible punk rock these days.

Or he had other things to do, like trying to minimize the number of people bitching about what he takes out minimal time to do during the course of his 24/7/365 job.

There is no freaking winning with some people.

My point exactly.

He also gave up Sosa—so what’s your point?

The first pitch probably interfered with his tee time.

Bush managed to do it.

He’s also not a professional athlete.

“…they’re not that much heavier / more cumbersome than catchers gear…”

And yet he doesn’t do that all the time, so it still takes some major adjustment.

If he took the mound at a Nats game, they might not let him leave. He’s a lefty and he’s under 50.

kevlar vest or not, his mechanics look like he’s engaging in a catfight. and with the way vests are made today, they’re not that much heavier / more cumbersome than catchers gear.

By: Alex K

Alex K — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 15:15:29 +0000

One question to the guys saying he throws like a girl….have you ever thrown a pitch with a kevlar vest on?

By: Utley's Hair

At least Ba Ba Booey didn’t bounce it five feet off the mound.

he must throw rightie; hence his lady-like, terrible left toss. Luke Scott, signing off.

No way. The Kennedy’s, wow. You continue to amaze me. Anyway, we’ve already established Obama throws like a girl, so we don’t need to hear more about that from the right anyway. One wingnut will think he’s unAmerican for not doing this of course, and it’ll be “news”.

No! Keep that dumb-ass busy with trivial crap so he can stop giving away $1.5 billion in tax cuts, cutting $1.7 billion from education and turning down $2.4 billion in federal funds for jobs.

I’m so happy to find a Dead Kennedys reference hidden in an Opening Day post.

Too bad Rick Scott won’t do the same
