Did you know that, in a straw poll before the '04 election, 23 of the 25 active Seattle Mariners players said they would vote for Dubya, many adding that they felt he'd protect their salaries from high taxes? I forget one of the two dissenting opinions, but the other was from pitcher Bobby Madritsch, who blew out his shoulder months later and has since been released.

It is possible however that the crowd was booing that as a metaphor for the administration's performance in general.
I wonder, will we read in the next VP press release that Cheney actually made it over the plate and that those who claim otherwise are unamerican evildoers.
