Bush to throw out first pitch at Cubs @ Reds 4/3/06

[OleMissCub]

My hatred for that man runs so deep and so visceral that I can't contain myself when I even see the name Bush.

 

You don't wanna know what I think about when I see the name Bush. *cough* my sig *cough**cough*

Speaking of which, I've decided after a lot of passing by your sig in threads that the girl on the right just edges out the girl on the left. Barely.

 

Ya, girl on the far right's name is Morgan. She has a smoking body. Remarkably, for someone who is so hot, she's pretty smart and is in medschool now. The girl I was seeing at the time is the one smack dab in the middle of the pack wearing the white shirt. She wasn't all that intellectually stimulating, but umm...she was alot of fun.

[MikeG]

Awesome!

 

I wish I could be there to see that.

I think it is great that the President is throwing out the first pitch. It is a great natiional tradition.

[schutll]

Let's hope the aseball doesn't explode and become a WMD.

ummmm....no, let's not.

Fixed your post. Puppets don't wield power.

 

Grow up.

 

:?:

 

Bush is a moronic puppet. What's there to grow up about?

 

:roll:

 

Is this really necessary?

 

Take it to rants if you're so intent on beating a dead horse.

 

Sorry you're right. My hatred for that man runs so deep and so visceral that I can't contain myself when I even see the name Bush.

 

Bucsh Stadium. BUSCH stadium!! BUSH stadium. .

Wait, so just like the Nats home opener last year, he will be in Reds dugout, and wearing Reds gear? Damn?

 

Atleast Cubs will get to thank him for trading Sammy Sosa.

 

Does anyone know how the secret service would protect him? I mean are they going to make all fans go through metal detectors? Check all of their luggage? It would be real easy for something bad to happen in an event such as this...

If anyone is going to the game they better plan on at least a three hour line and pass through the medal detectors.

 

Two years ago I missed the first quarter of the Army/Navy game waiting to pass through. The worst part was all the drunken soliders and sailors pissing all over the place while waiting to get in.

Do you think bush knows what baseball is? get it? cus hes really stupid?

Well he did suck and failed miserably at running the Texas Rangers.

Well he did suck and failed miserably at running the Texas Rangers.

 

Actually, financially, he did very well running the Rangers. He's primarily responsible for getting the new ballpark together, which was the catalyst for the Rangers' run of strong play in the mid-late 1990s. Attendance and revenues were the highest in team history in the final year of his tenure. The value of hte franchise rose as well- his $606,000 ownership share was worth almost $15 million by the time he sold it in 1994.

 

Really, He did a pretty solid job-one could argue an outstanding job based upon previous Rangers' owners- as managing partner of the Rangers- granted, I think the qualities needed for that are far different than those needed for President.

 

He was a great lobbyist for baseball in the state and nationally, and the players association and the owners were both very complimentary of his attempts to avoid the work stoppage in 1994- some of the MLBPA board even calling for him to become MLB commish if he lost the Texas Governor race he has resigend in order to pursue.

 

 

Actually, I think being MLB commish might be a better role for him than President- conservative/liberal/religious doesn't matter so much in baseball. He can't deficit spend as MLB commish, nor can he send ballplayers to war.

 

 

 

As for throwing out the first pitch- Baseball games are no place for politics, so I think it's great the President (whatever his name or party might be) is throwing out the first pitch at America's National Pastime.

 

That's an instance where I applaud the position, not the man. Granted, If he tries to give a speech, I might change my opinion, LOL!

 

I can hear it now:

 

"It's an honor to be here in Cinshinastickti. [insert cheesy grin] As many of you can rememberate, I was involved with the sport of basebulb for many years."

Les get dem Reds. They hate Chicago's freedom.

Well I guess whatever I heard otherwise, must be incorrect. I thought I heard he was a monumental failure as the head of the Rangers.

It's all good as long as WE get the Dubya!

And I agree with IMB.

Ironically, Bush himself incorrectly credited himself for getting Sosa to the Cubs while we were making the run in 2003. He in fact traded him to the White Sox for Harold Baines.

Ole Miss girls are tops. There are beauties on every corner.

 

I think it's pretty damn cool Bush will be throwing out the first pitch. I like the guy. At least he's got a sac....especially compared to his predecessor.

[badger1679666666]

Actually, it's probably the dumbest thing I've ever seen written, but whatever floats your boat.

you're right, he just never got a chance to prove himself in that type of situation...now that's completely ridiculous

The type where you have big balls for sending in kids to war, knowing full well none of your friends, or their friends kids' will have to go because of their social class.

 

It has to be that since he ditched out on the National Guard.
