He will throw out the pitch and that will be the last cheer you hear all game.....Roy Halladay will smoke that Nats lineup. I do really hope the Philly faithful show up and booo him though...

he will throw it Baba-booey style, the media will then promptly report it as "right down the middle" , adjust the strike zone accordingly, and deny they did so- blaming a right wing conspiracy.

he has too many off the field issues to even be within the real of a strike. he needs to get his act together off the field so he can get the job done on the mound, if not he's going to be sent down to the minors, or even worse: cut.

It won't matter. Obama's staff will ensure a deal. Obama throws the ball. Camera turns away. Was it a strike? I don't know.

Fact- Obama throws like a sissy girl.

That being said, it can't be as bad as the one in StL last summer, right??
(Great video in the OP, by the way)

BO was coached up on how to throw a ball the day before he threw out that first pitch.

Will the cigarette go behind his ear while he throws?

Yup. Just as long as one of his body guards can hold his Bud.

Yes, it was ugly. The only thing that would have been worse is if he had uncorked one high on the backstop or slammed it into the ground six feet in front of himself. http://www.politico.com/politico44/perm ... f8b04.html

Mr. President, please do not accept another invitation to throw out a first pitch in a baseball game until you have shown the ability to make an athletic toss.

and Mr. President, in the future, please don't disrespect the team that invites you by wearing a White Sox hat.

Apparently, he forgot to take his teleprompter to the booth for his interview with Rob Dibble.

Seriously? He couldn't name a single player on his "favorite" team? My gosh. What a poser.

Oh, and Obama still throws like a sissy girl. My 2-year-old can throw harder than that. Well, at least the little guy tries to keep it from hitting the ceiling.

If Obama needs Tommy John surgery now, do we pay for that?

His first pitches make his foreign policy look manly.
