bush @ busch...
well, opening day has come and gone, and the cardinals played a pretty good game, but lost to the brewers. the cards play 162 regular season games this year, and hopefully there will be a lot more W's than L's.
as part of the opening day festivities, president george w. bush threw out the ceremonial first pitch. bush marched to the mound and with no windup threw the ball home. he wore a red cardinals jacket, and fans chanted "U-S-A! U-S-A!". according to mike matheny, the cards starting catcher, it was a strike. when the 43rd president reared back and threw, the pitch was right in there. bush said he planned to throw a "hopping fastball" to open the brewers-cardinals game, but it looked more like an off-speed pitch. matheny caught it easily.
this is the first time the cardinals ever for the cardinals to have a president throw out the first pitch.
then in the 5th, bush sits in the pressbox with mike shannon, who, by this point is usually three sheets anyway... here's the audio of their dialogue... shannon & bush audio
