impressed 2 days by pujols: best player in baseball gets the spotlight on him and what happens? loses HR derby, goes hitless with an error in the game. well done, clutch

I knew you’d go there TBL. Sanctimony fits you like a glove, you know that? Consider that Pujols was pulled in about 15 different ways over the last two days(after playing a double-header on Sunday), and got about 6 hours of sleep(total) since Sunday night; it’s no wonder he crapped out. Even you, the Super-human, would be exhausted, too.

Jay, nice on the mark buehrle comment. I predicted crawford would get mvp for his catch, mainly because i didn;t see any obvious choices. but i told a friend, the only other guy would be buehrle, because of his 1-minute inning. man he works fast.

nice to see common sense voting for an MVP. thank god Jeter didn;t have 2 hits and smile one more time

Anybody think he could have been wearing a massive bulletproof vest that made it tough to throw and made him look bulky.

I would hope he had a bullet proof vest on. It’s no excuse though since Bush also wore a vest when he threw out the first pitch at Yankee stadium after 9/11. Didn’t seem to affect him.

Here here. Fuck him for not hitting in an exhibition.

How did Fox or whoever mess this up? You mean to tell me they didn’t have a camera in place to get the wide angle for live broadcast when they’ve known he would be throwing out the first pitch for how long? Wouldn’t you put a camera person in place, just for that reason? That’s what I don’t understand. Unless they just didn’t switch to the right camera, then that’s the only way I understand this. Someone screwed up regardless.

They had a wide angle one, at least from behind the president in the typical pitcher-to-batter angle. That’s the one they showed on replay when Obama was in the booth and in some highlights. But the live feed, it seemed the camera man walked out with Obama, who got to the mound and threw right away as the camera man was trying to get behind him, hence the crooked angle.

I noticed that too. Just a horrible job by EVERYONE. Stan Musial>>>>>>>>any president in past century. Dead serious.

You must be from Jersey.

This will be the stupidest thing that’s said about this topic.

Agreed.

/joking, but in a truth in jest way

That means he started following the Yankees just as they started winning (1996ish)…Do we have a front runner on our hands?

This will be the stupidest thing that’s said about this topic. And I’ve been waiting til now to say it. But this is a stupid topic, so whatever. Maybe Obama was scared to have a guy with a camera (re: weapon) with an angle on him from the cleanest shot possible. Just a thought.
