How many times will CNN repeat that Kerry was booed at the Boston game?
They then show Kerry trying to embrace the catcher in military uniform and the catcher appears to brush Kerry off. What's up with that? The catcher looked like a typical Repuke, and he could have EASILY caught that ball. Was the catcher trying to embarrass Kerry? Lastly, next time, Kerry should simply shake hands and not attempt to embrace everyone, especially someone in military uniform.

1. Kerry was probably booed because he's a terrible pitcher...
...I doubt if it was political...I actually didn't catch the boos, just watched the pitch....my wife's a better pitcher.
Ah well, I'd rather have a president who's a bad pitcher than the current one.

2. It was Kerry's own fault -- it was a stupid publicity stunt
I think he'd have been better off going to Florida.

6. I thought it was great for Kerry to come to the Sox-Yankee game

Compare Kerry sitting in the box seats, his mature and seasoned responses during the ESPN interview and, yes, his failure to state an opinion on the DH rule (everyone has an opinion about that, just as they do about whether Pete Rose should be inducted in the Baseball Hall of Fame).

Compare Kerry to that video we saw of Bush picking the buggers off his nose when he attended one of the games of that team he was part owner.

Kerry did not pick his nose. Bush picks his nose!

I know of no better reason to vote Bush out than that!

BTW, I HATE THE BOSTON RED SOX! GO YANKEES!

3. I watched clapping
The whole thing is bizarre to me because if you watch the people in the stands with your own two eyeballs, you'll see them clapping. And I didn't see the catcher brush Kerry off at all. I really don't know what you people look at around here to come up with these conclusions. I think y'all listen to way too much teevee.

4. i saw clapping also
and a Darn good Sinker
the Milatary guy probaly did not expect a Sinker
that ball one hoped after the plate not before the plate as a catcher when i played baseball i know how hard it is to catch a sinker.

and the Fans loved Kerry
but at the same time Boston people in General for the most part do not suport the convention being a major Burden on the city aka Streets being cut off and the like and its BOSTON so The BOO Birds is to be Expected.



a memeber of REDSOX NATION FOR KERRY in 2004

5. Politicians are always booed at sports events
Cheney was booed when he went to a baseball game recently. Bush got some boos at a NASCAR race.

Ask yourselves why is the media making the booing of Kerry, which was drowned by the applause, such a bigger deal than what it was.

This is nothing!

7. Don't take it too seriously.
You can't worry about everything that goes wrong. Think about all the people who clapped and cheered for Kerry.

Bush fell off his bicycle AGAIN today. He fell on his back this time. I heard this on KGO when I was driving in my car today.

Why didn't anybody make a big deal about that? Hmmm???

Bush falls off his couch when he chokes on a pretzel, he falls off his bicycle and skins up his face, then drops his dog when he's getting off AF1.

How many times does this man have to make an ass out of himself before the media takes notice.

If Bush was a Democrat this would have been splashed on the front page of every newspaper in the country.
