Did no one get the memo? That wasn't booing. That was the crowd having a mass Obamism.

OOOOOOOOOOOOO!

MJ is still dead isnt he

They never showed the part where the ball didn't quite make it to the plate. The man pitches like he golfs.

Where were the boos? At what time? I couldn't hear anything but a nice, pleasant, overall tongue-bath from the crowd.

A great President, doing great things. Cleaning up the CIA mess left behind by George Bush and his thugs Cheney and Rumsfeld. The disarray that the Republican party is now in and their lack of funds, we can thankfully look forward to Obama being in office for two terms.

President Bush.. first pitch after 9-11.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=631knZM9Uiw

The better part was the roar of the crowd once George W. Bush appeared on video. I could only listen on radio but the cheers overwhelmed the broadcaster.

In fairness, showing up in a a White Sox jacket probably didn't help.

But just throw the pitch, shake a few hands and get out of the way. It's not about you, Barry. But of course he didn't quite see it that way.

Agree with mhb. I didn't hear any signficant booing.

However, the guy pitches even worse than Harper. And that's saying something.

I commented on this at 8:12 under readers tips, my wife said to me when we were watching the opening ceremonies "Are they Booing Him"

I watched the CTV National News & You did not here the Booing but heard instead cheering, So not only croping photos but Sound Mixing too now from CTV.

I disagree, you could distinctly hear the BOOING.

You know, it seems every where you go now, there is this lil minority faction defending HBO.

Hahaha, either way, the Messiah pitches like a wuzzy.
,

John g: the guy pitches even worse then harper & thats saying something.

Never ever seen the pm throwing a baseball please provide the vid proof.

How come when Obama throws a crappy pitch you can't even find a video clip of the ball falling short of home plate, and the media shuts up about it, but relatively unknown Gary Dell'Abate (producer of theHoward Stern Sirrius XM Satellite radio show) throws a poor pitch and the media plays multiple clips for a week and a half over and over and over and makes fun of the guy to the extent that a bad pitch almost became known as a Ba Ba Booey (that's Gary's nick name)?
Don't answer, it is a rhetorical question.

My husband, a baseball fan, and I watched Obama entering the stadium. We definitely heard booing: not as loud as the cheers, but the booing was definitely audible.

@bryanr

Can't find a vid but I recall seeing him throw out the first pitch at a Blue Jays game during the 2004 election campaign. Suffice to say it wasn't pretty. And there was a lot more booing there than what Obama got last night.

But given Obama's, er, natural advantages, that was an epically bad first pitch.

The tide is turning :)

It was a great pitch, A sweeping curveball, unprecedented in the history of baseball.(The sport Al Gore invented) It sent a tingle up Chris Mathews leg.

It was probably global warming that knocked that ball down.

He throw's like my sister.

John that was 5yrs ago No one hardly even new him & besides he was Not the PM at the time, You might as well use the comparison Trudeau's Failed kick-off at the Grey Cup game back in the What 70's?(of which the MSM did not critique him like they did Robert Stanfield in his football throw)

That's the President of the United States of America?

You people are looking for something that isn't there. Everyone was cheering until he clearly came into view and noticed he was wearing a White Sox jacket. That was when the boos started. And the pitch hardly bounced short of the plate the player behind the plate still caught it, it did not bounce.
Kate, I understand that you and 99% of the folks who visit this site are upset that Obama is president but why the need to post such garbage? Why do you all want him to fail so bad? Give the man a fair shot. All this negativity is starting to come across pathetic. It's going to get real old after 8 years.

Anybody who booed him is wrong. It's wrong to boo your country's President. I voted for John McCain, and I'd certainly do it again, but Obama is my President, and I won't boo him. I like the fact that he wore a White Sox jacket, too, and I'd like it even if I weren't a White Sox fan. The fact that Obama is a White Sox fan is, I think, one of the few genuine things about him.

"Why do you all want him to fail so bad?"

I don't care if he fails "bad" just as long as he fails.

They were saying, "Boo-urns!"

They weren't saying, "Boo!" They were saying "o-BOOOO-ma!!"

Think than post. Damn interwebs!

TYLER DURDEN, you are an idiot and a fool. Check this video about 24 seconds in...

The player who caught it was even on top of home plate, because he knew Obama throws like a girl.

Tyler Durden: I recommend that you read Andy McCarthy's article "Meet Me in St. Booie!" in "The Corner" on National Review Online (http://corner.nationalreview.com/). As he points out, not only did the ball bounce, but the player who caught the ball, the great Albert Pujols, was not behind the plate but standing on it!

None of that really matters, of course. But what does matter, as McCarthy explains, is the way that the whole event had to be stage-managed -- surprisingly for a President who until recently couldn't seem to put a foot wrong -- and the way that the sports media are shown by this incident to have consumed the same koolaid that the political media have.

At least you acknowledge that booing took place (from a substantial minority of the crowd, I'd guess). But to claim that they were booing his White Sox jacket is just fanciful -- a real stretch.

And while the 53 ft. floater is no big deal, the booing for a 6-month President, at the All-Star game of his country's national pastime, IS a big deal. Don't you think Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod and all his other deep thinkers in the back room noticed that? (I also think they noticed the 53 ft. floater.)

Dogbert - lol ! What if the catcher would have missed O's pathetic one-hopper ? Would the media have buried it ? Do fish swim ?

Tyler: A ps to my last message.

The negativity isn't coming from this site: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_tracking_poll

Give the man a fair shot

Hmm... let's see:

- nationalize banking industry, forcing banks to accept TARP money that didn't want it, and blackmail them into giving up shares when they pay it back
- nationalize auto industry & exceed presidential authority by firing CEOs
- push through cap/trade without giving public or congress time to read the bill
- bow down to saudi prince
- disgraceful foreign policy stand on honduras & oppression of iranian students
- quadrupling of deficit, with hints of more "stimulus" to come. Incidentally, of the "emergency stimulus" that was required upon certain death of the country, only 6% has been spent
- hypocrisy in face of iraq: working actively to block the Surge while he was a worthless US senator, and now taking credit for it while he's POTUS, and implementing another surge in afghanistan
- lying/backpedalling on gitmo
- pushing hard to implement socialized medicine

I think that's a "fair shot", don't you, Durden?

I also think Dogbert described you perfectly at 11:25am.

Part of the reason that he couldn't throw a strike was because he was pitching from on top of the rubber. Pehaps the muslim school he attended in Indonesia didn't offer baseball in its sports program? Just thinking out loud here.

No Dogbert, he threw that way on purpose it's called a change up......you retard.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changeup

He couldn't even get it to home plate? BWAHAHAHAAAA!!!!

I'm wheezy and old, even I can still get it to home plate! Wadda maroon!

In other news, they are going to ram socialized medicine down your throats kids. Open wiiiiide, its a big ol' bite of the fabulous Obama Socialist Sh1t Sandwich (TM), brought to you by a guy who throws like a CHICK!

No Dogbert, he threw that way on purpose it's called a change up

Pray tell us of The One's Masterful Pitching Strategy, O Mighty Cy Young Aspirant.

But maybe you're right, at that. The pitch behaved just like obama's "economic change-up", as the bottom completely fell out.

mhb

Alright, alright I'm sorry, I admit the guy cant throw a baseball. I just think the man is going to be president for Eight years and we should all hope that he is sucessful and the world will be a better place when his term is complete. I just don't understand all of this trashing of his character and hoping that the man fails as a president. Please explain it to me.

SVG said; Anybody who booed him is wrong. It's wrong to boo your country's President.

Really ? Why don't you sing that tune to the Liberals who bashed Bush for 8.5 years and still are. Double Standard there, Bud.

TD said; "Why do you all want him to fail so bad?"

Because I can't agree with Socialism no matter what color it comes in.

Besides; for you folks defending Obama and his policies, you need some serious help. The man bypassed both houses and appointed over 32 Czars who are not accountable to Congress, the Senate, or the American People. He has taken over 4 Hedge Funds, 19 Banks and 2 Car Companies without a single vote, or debate in the House or the Senate. Obama has tripled the American Debt, is trying to shove Government Run Healthcare down the Tax-Payers throat, trying to sneak in Amnesty, trying to pass in the nite with scare tactics the Cap&Trade, better known as Tax the Wealthy to pay off his Democrat Constituents, and finally the Global Warming Carbon Tax that actually taxes mainly White Businesses. Don't you see SVG and TD every bill Obama and the Democrats are trying to pass taxes mainly, you guessed it; White People.

You don't see a problem with that ?

Let me tell you something, the US Gov't has run Social Security, Medicare and Medicaide into the ground. They have no business speculating in the Private Sector. It should be painfully obvious now that Obama hates White Capitalism.

We The People could have had some great deals if there had been no Gov't Stimulus Bailout. No one is too big to fail, even Governments run by Liberals.

Personally, they should release his Harvard Transcripts and show what he made in Economics 101, we already know what he made in Chaos 450.

Do you know what a Illinios Community Organizer has in comon with a cow, well, according to the State-run Media they are both out-standing in their field.

And, don't get me started about the Gov't run whorehouse in Nevada that couldn't turn a profit.

Something didn't seem right with that clip.
Ah, I got it: no hoodie.

Yeah but what's Ogabe's definition of success? I think it's becoming clearer everyday that he's trying to destroy the USSA economy so he can institute his own system. Fascism here we come!

TYLER DURDEN said: "I just don't understand all of this trashing of his character and hoping that the man fails as a president. Please explain it to me."

Its because he's a raving fascist, whose social and economic policies have already done serious damage the United States and are certainly going to do much more. The USA is Canada's largest trading partner, and we need them to be in one piece so we can all afford to buy food and shoes and stuff like that.

Clear now, Tyler?

BTW, with any luck he'll be out in four, like Jimmah Carter. Unless he does something AMAZINGLY bad, in which case he could get impeached. I'm hoping for that one, myself. Even Joe "Dumbkopf" Biden would be better than Barry.

TYLER DURDEN, I know what you are but what am I?

I hope he fails because I do not agree with his proposed policies.

I want a President who does not lie to the public.

I want a President who does not rely on shady crooks to buy a house.

I want a President who brings a full life of experience and accomplishemnt to the office.

Obama provides none of those.

TYLER:

May I add to dogbert's observations.

I have noticed Obama talks one way and acts another.

His supporters will give him full marks for attempting to keep his promises which, of course, are impossible to deliver on because their cost would totally bankrupt the US.

Hope and change is all about the impossible dreams and it is a rhetoric that appeals to dreamers, who believe their dreams can be delivered with other people's money.

Sure worked in the no job, no income, no problem mortgage crisis, didn't it?

Obama is just a symptom of America over-reaching reality and his mistake is to solve a problem of over-spending by ... drum roll please ... overspending.

Other than that, it was a tactical error to put on a Chicago White Sox jersey in a National League city.

Tyler Durden: "I just don't understand all of this trashing of his character and hoping that the man fails as a president. Please explain it to me."

There is a great deal to dislike about his policies, which, if implemented, will be extremely wide-ranging, and some things about him too (the nature of his rhetoric, for instance, which is unusually disingenuous and deceitful). Nobody who dislikes his policies can possibly want those policies to succeed; and nobody who wants to hear the plain truth and facts presented plainly can like the way he speaks. I don't see what's complicated about that.

There's nothing wrong with criticism. Freedom to criticize is one of the things that distinguishes western civilization. So we should hope that the Republican opposition in the US finds its voice. No President deserves a free ride. In the Bush years the Democrats used to say that dissent is the highest form of patriotism.

TYLER

1) 8 years from now there will be a republican vying for a second term.

2) If we were to give O the same "fair shake" you ignorant leftards gave any GOP pres but W in particular, we'd have to get really nasty.

"Hope and Change-up"

"This is the pitch we've been waiting f..."
BALL!

Was the teleprompter out of order?

Oh, by the way,to our American friends. Looks like you might soon be finding out what waiting lists and rationed health care is all about.

No teleprompter go go gadget to assist with that non masculine bounce pass to (way in front of) the plate. Watching the O toss a baseball, America's pastime, and whiff at golf balls, business's pastime,leads me to think that the O has no clue about the society he supposedly is leader of. And to say he throws like a sissy is an insult to all sissies. Some one should have also shown him how to use the rubber on a pitching mound, maybe someone did, maybe he didn't listen. He is definitely getting harder on the eyes and ears.

Some boos mostly cheers though.

More grasping at straws I see.

Roc, which "centre" is it you're supposed to be right of, again?

Your guy showed up, got booed. And throws like a girl too. Deal with it.

Tyler,

I don't remember seeing you on Rabble, or HuPo arguing that we should all give Bush II the benefit of the doubt.

Here's a helpful political hint for you... if the guy in charge is doing a crappy job, you tell him, and he improves. Cheering someone who sucks is how you get the Toronto Maple Leafs...

clearly dogbert... the catcher is standing just in front of the home plate... er, I guess that doesn't help does it? :)

tyler durden in all caps... I think it is that, if B.Hussien is successful, the USA will fail.. we'd like the USA to succeed as a model of freedom, and we (generally) believe, that B. Hussien is not on that team.

also, your use of the phrase "you retard" is offensive firstly, and secondly it fails the standards of english that most adults adhere to after completion of grade 8. Correctly stated, that would be, "you are retarded" or, "you're retarded". You're usage is just barely on the other side of the colloquial "yous" as spoken by Sylvester Stallone.
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/yous (note the reference to Philly...)

" The man pitches like he golfs."

And he golfs like he bowls.

"Some boos mostly cheers though" I didn't hear any boos when I heard it first on the web, compressed into an MP3, but when I heard it broadcast quality, there were obviously a *lot* of boos. Sounded like 50/50 to me.

Rush, whose first real job involved setting up first pitches for the KC Royals, had what sounded to me like a bang on analysis.

He wore the White Sox jacket and hat on purpose. The Sox are not hated in St Louis, the Cubs are. You heard the lone Cubby get booed in the introductions. He wore the jacket to explain the boos they knew were coming.

They also arranged for him to be on the field with the two most popular men in the St Louis baseball world, Stan Musual and Albert Puholz (who played like he was on drugs, BTW)

They arranged the camera angle to not show whether the pitch crossed the plate. They didn't throw to the catcher, which I have *never* seen, but to Puholz, who was in front of the plate, and he *still* bounced it.

Stay in denial though libs. You will be far easier to roll.

I am sure your Robinhood plan to take health care away from the elderly and give it to the poor, who won't waste their health on watching TV and playing Bingo and eating early bird specials will prove a big hit next fall.

"I just don't understand all of this trashing of his character "

We aren't trashing his character, we are exposing it. What have we said that is not true? If you consider speaking the truth to be trashing, then maybe you ought to re-examine your knob slobbering love for the guy.

BTW, he flounces his but around in that video like the gay prostitute from Reno 911.

Tyler eight years..??.. is bambam going to cancel elections next?

I've seen that pitch before, it's called "the Mississippi crud ball".

perhaps they should have got Michelle with her magnificent arms to throw. and with her well endowed lower centre of gravity she could really put the mustard on it

I never boo. I was taught that is unsportsmanlike. best to just stay quiet.

I also applaud the other team in victory and frequently applaud well scored goals.

strange behaviour from a different era. thanks Mr. Walls.

Opitcherama boasted that Michelle said he looked 'cute' in his Sox jacket. And he pitched so cute too!!! What an embarrassment as POTUS!!

"in victory and frequently applaud well scored goals"

I remember Jagr scored a goal against my team, the Panthers, and it was so pretty, spontaneous applause broke out, not like that 'pitch'.

I think we can cut the guy some slack just because he can't throw a baseball. However, if it wasn't for the fact that a Gold Glover was receiving the toss, it would have rolled to the screen and been scored a wild pitch. On the other hand, throwing out the first pitch at the All-Star Game is an enormous honour. You would have thought that Obama would have taken some time from his busy schedule and worked on his delivery just a little bit. Maybe a game of catch with Biden.

http://www.remjet.com/Terry_the_gay_prostitute_from_Reno_911/45

I think that he is a cross between the above guy and Irkel.

I noticed that he threw the ball using his left hand. That would make him a 'lefty'. I suppose, we already... kind of knew that.

O's image needs tweeking.
Give him Steffi Dijons number..quick!

That cracker show can't play ball.

C'mon give the man a break. He has been in office a scant six months and he has already reversed global warming.Also,if someone actually went up north and counted the polar bears,they would find that there are more than ever.They are not facing extinction like they were during the Bush/Cheney years. God bless you Mr. Obama,you make me tingle.

But seriously folks...Obama is going down in the polls. He has certainly not lived up to his advance billing. This is because way too many Americans saw him through race-coloured glasses. They voted so they could make history.Unfortunately,those who pointed out that the emperor had no clothes,or as someone here once said,the suit has no emperor,were put down as being 'racist'. An unintended consequence of this shallow thoughtless voting is that the next time a black person runs to be POTUS,many will recall Obama's record and may not vote for a capable candidate. I do hope that Obama does well ,but with every passing week that prospect looks less likely.

SVG said; Anybody who booed him is wrong. It's wrong to boo your country's President.

Really ? Why don't you sing that tune to the Liberals who bashed Bush for 8.5 years and still are. Double Standard there, Bud.

I sang that tune to lefties (I don't really consider them liberals) who depicted Bush as Hitler, etc. I agree that there is a double standard, but I'm not applying it. It was and is wrong of the lefties, and it's wrong of those of us who oppose Obama's policies to boo him. Criticism and disagreement are fine, and I practice both with some frequency. Booing the President is not. As the military says, "salute the rank, not the man."

God I'd like to get behind this, but no, I hear maybe one guy booing behind the wall of applause.

As for this "plays like a girl" business (why I oughta...); just wait 'till he participates in the annual Swim Across the Potomac! That'll learn ya.

"I hear maybe one guy booing behind the wall of applause"

I thought so too 'til I heard a broadcast quality version. It is unmistakable, and it it is pretty thunderous for one or two guys. It sounds equal to the cheers to me, and I don't know how any broadcast engineer could enhance them, since they were both at about the same frequency. It is not a low Booo, like they might have done for Lou Brock. First hand reports say it was 50/50. Don't argue with the lefties though. It is better to leave them in denial. The punch bowl is getting pretty empty at their party though.

OK, can't golf, bowl, or play baseball. Irrelevant to the major point - can't run a government.

But a 16 handicap with that swing? Not a friggin' chance. I was a 9, but I'm worse now. I could spot him 2 strokes a hole for 5,000 each, and end up with a new Mercedes.

all the words and all the bullshit doesn't change the fact that the guy is a dangerous commie. commie is a word that best describes the big o. he is a commie and a really big a hole.

Re:TYLER DURDEN

Its not only Obama with his suspect gang of associates...Its members of Democratic party... which include; Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi...speaker of the house, originally nominated by Rham Emanuel(How cozy), Harry Reid, John Murtha, Barbara Boxer, Robert Byrd...former KKK member who is quoted as saying "I shall never fight in the armed forces with a Negro by my side... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by a race of mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds. ”

"I just think the man is going to be president for Eight years and we should all hope that he is sucessful and the world will be a better place when his term is complete"

Tyler has convinced me. I am now going to give Obama every benefit of the doubt that the Democrats gave Bush, on account of respect for his office, and all. Every benefit that the Democrats gave Bush, and nothing short of that lofty standard. I promise Tyler, cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye. -tim

For those of you who think that tearing down Obama is wrong and unpatriotic, remember what the left taught us "Dissent *is* patriotic". Look who is in power now, and look what tactics they use.

Does anybody know where I can get a bumper sticker printed up that says "Nobody tell Obama what comes after a trillion!"

Posted by: tim in Vermont>

“For those of you who think that tearing down Obama is wrong and unpatriotic, remember…..”

Another analogy - Is it tearing down or hypocritical if you never supported him in the first place?

Obamba was never “UP” in my vocabulary to be torn down. I’ve always viewed him as the race baiting, socialist death blow to America that the greater world has been praying for. America didn’t vote for Obamba, a hate filled & desperately dependant and indulgent segment of America did, along with the rest of its global enemies.

All the slogan junkies, latte’ lappers, idealists, pole smokers and entitlement groups (dregs on society)……………..are slowly catching on.

He's the President of the United States.

He has the opportunity, given to few, to be a great man.

We'll see if he has it in him.

So far, he appears to be shockingly naive and more concerned with his image than with the consequences of his actions.

Maybe he'll smarten up.

But, I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

pok I agree but as I see it he is betting your farm, your small business, your job and your way of life on it.

Black Mamba: "God I'd like to get behind this, but no, I hear maybe one guy booing behind the wall of applause."

To me, the booing is unmistakable, though it's overshadowed by the cheers.

Interestingly, it's CBC that provides proof that the booing took place. When my wife returned from work and I was talking with her about the incident at the game last night, she told me that Obama was booed because he wore a White Sox jacket. I asked her where she got this (ridiculous) idea. She said that she had heard it on CBC Newsworld during a coffee break (she's not a baseball fan and had no reason to doubt the explanation).

This is interesting on two levels. First, if even the world's greatest and most delusional Obama koolaid drinkers acknowledge that booing took place, then you can be damn sure that booing took place. Second, CBC's explanation is further proof (if proof were needed) of the CBC's need to spin anything potentially negative about Obama, even to the point of flat out making stuff up.

Oh, and a third point. We now know the source of Tyler Durden's silly explanation for the cause of the booing.

If he were wearing a Cubs hat, I could see them booing that. The White Sox are just not hated in St Louis. I spend a lot of time there. Billboard advertisements for hamburger chains play on hatred of the Cubs. White Sox rarely play in St Louis. Different league, three games every three years.

it must drive the leftards crazy that George Bush had the same athleticism as the average guy- could throw from the mound to the plate without looking like a girl and could also swing a golf club and ride a mountain bike, just like the average guy. the messiah on the other hand seems to be the goof who was always picked last for teams which sent him into politics. the leftards relate to the losers who were always picked last which is why they invent stuff like Obama's 16 handicap (BWAHAHAHAHA), he should golf with the other dear leader (of North Korea) sometime it would probably be the first time 2 people shoot identical scores of 18.

Obama not only throws like a pansy he has his mother in law living with him. The US has a Beta male pretending to run the country.

Yay...per hole. To accommodate the big O par would of course be replaced with per. Newspeak is is hard to beat.

Booing? Every little bit of public display that let's people know there are others who are not eating the soma is a good thing. The message is that this guy is not above our contempt. Obama is a fraud and deserves all the scorn he gets.

And BTW - SVJ ..... It's not like he was at an official state event now is it? Nor is it likely to get weeks of replay at the hands of the MSM... now is it?

Payback is a Bytch.

Owebambam's pitch was BAD because Rahm didn't pull the arm strings properly!!!!

I happened to see the all-star game with a bunch of friends at a local Shoeless Joe's and I think that Obama came across pretty good overall.
There were boos for Obama at first because Fox was trying to get Obama to show up at Busch to boost ratings. When Obama agreed to show up a couple of weeks ago dampers were put on the size of the celebration for Stan the Man in order for Obama to appear. The previous all-star game in St. Lou was 49 or so years ago (which is a very long time ago) and Stan the Man was there AND as someone who has been to Busch and seen the big statue of Stan out front can attest fans in St. Lou love Stan (in fact I thought he had died). Anyway, Missouri never went for Obama in the last election and some fans were upset that Stan should have had a bigger celebration - hence the boos. Obama must of known this because he gave Stan a pretty warm reception as did the fans when Stan was carted in with the baseball. Anyanyway, Fox had the highest ratings for an all-star game since 1999, and the Cards and St. Lou made a pile of dough because the all-star game is almost a week long event and it brought in a lot of people for all the festivities.

The tourist attraction in chief...is there nothing...

Does anyone here except the trolls think for one second that unles this was put on Utube. No one would have heard of this? Did'nt think so.

Breaking!

Barry's teleprompter, the one that broke this week, is being rebuilt and retrofited to be a teleprompter/baseball throwing device similar to the ones found at batting cages...Now, just like his speeches, which already contains curve, slide, fork and knuckle in it's verbiage, the new multi million dollar device which had to be built "now" according to Barry, otherwise "America was going to be in a crisis", will also serve at baseball ceremonial opening events.
It is to note that the new custom made device will also be able to plug into stadium PA systems effectively drowning any live undesired 'noises' replacing them with wild cheers and whistling and possibly chants like "Obama! Obama!".

Asked about golf and bowling which dear leader tried recently, the White House spokesperson said they are still debating between building machines for that or providing their own audio/video shoots to the media. It is to note that Hollowood special effect specialists are being consulted for this.

Oh, that Barry, when it comes to having his narcissism bruised, he's a fast thinking boy.

Barry, you da man!

Receiving less attention at the Match des Étoiles was the Canadian National Anthem, which was not performed live. Even though the AL starting pitcher plays for Toronto.

oneblankspace,

I noticed that too. Roy Halladay (the best pitcher in baseball) and Aaron Hill both play for Toronto. What is worse is that Justin Morneau (for the Twins - and previous home run derby winner) and Jason Bay (for the Red Sox - and voted to the starting lineup for the AL) are both Canadian and proud of it and they are two of the best players in the Majors (I know that Jason took heat for becoming an American citizen last month - but his wife and kids are American - and there is only one team left in Canada - so he's got to make the bucks in the US- and if I had to work in the US I would become a US citizen as well because they helped you earn a living and you got to respect that). However, they still should have had someone sing the Canadian National Anthem - I read some other American sports journalists and they also thought the Canadian Anthem should have been sung.
