Obama Got Booed And Throws Like A Girl
Monday, April 5, 2010 at 5:08PM I would not throw in public with this motion. It screams little girl:
Here is Bush in 2008. Some boos for sure, but look at the quality of the pitch:
As an aside, I actually threw out the first pitch at a Cincinnati Reds game back in the mid-90's. I must say, it was very unnerving and I had played quite a lot of baseball in my life. That said, I did far better than Obama, which is not saying much.

In all fairness, at least he got it to the plate, but the motion was pretty limp wristed.
Unfortunately, the boo's were probably more about him having the audicity to wear a White Sox cap. It reflects his obstinance. At least he isn't a Cubs fan. If he were, I might have to reconsider my allegance to them.
That limp noodle, school girl motion is pathetic. Cincinnati mayor Mark Mallory threw out a horrendous first pitch a couple years ago, missing wide of home plate by about 30 feet. It's well documented on You Tube. After carefully studying both pitches, I've concluded Obama's was worse for the following reasons. Mallory is gay and never claimed to be an athlete. Obama fancies himself to be an athlete having been public about his workouts, golf, bowling, and basketball. He just beat Clark Kellogg in a game of horse showed on the NCAA telecast over the weekend. Mallory had much more velocity, Obama has so little velocity he can barely get it there on a fly. My old lady hurls potted plants at me harder than that. For the pathetic looking motion, the expectation of some athletic ability, and the total lack of velocity compared to Mallory.......Obama is hereby officially declared THE WORST by Herb Tarlek.
Nice analysis guys, but I'll leave it at this. He throws like a pansy crossed with a 9 year-old girl. He has no game whatsoever.
I just heard the best quote by Major Garrett on FOX news describing BO's pitching performance as it relates to his politics and fiscal policy;" High and Outside".
"Old Lady hurls potted plants". Herb, please leave your brain to science. Comedians will be grateful for centuries to come.
I tried to get them to take mine, but they said it would be too costly to retrieve it from outer space.
BTW Pundit, I, and I'm sure others, would like to hear the "first pitch at the Reds' game" story sometime.
I always get nostalgic when someone mentions the Reds. I'm an old fart who still misses Pete Rose. I know what he did was wrong but he seemed to play for the same reason we kids did,"for the love of the game".
