Ted Ferguson Can't Throw
I was fortunate enough to have prime seats at last night's Nats-Braves game where, unbeknownst to those viewing at home, Bud Light Daredevil Ted Ferguson threw out the ceremonial first pitch. While his attempt to hit the mitt was reminiscent of Dick Cheney's in that it was delivered shotput-like and barely made it the requisite 60 feet, the reception for Ted was much warmer. How could you not love a guy -- who can't throw, mind you -- with the candy apples to walk out to the mound wearing safety goggles, a white tee and old blue jeans?
After the game began, Ted was led to the luxury box directly behind home plate where he drank many a cold, delicious Bud Light for the full nine. Good company man, that Ferguson. It's unclear to me whether he's on some type of a ballpark tour where he gets to throw out the first pitch in all 32 Major League cities, but he did give me the number of a lady who'll hopefully book him as a guest on SBL -- if for nothing else than to find out how he landed the gig. Here's a pic I took of Ted and two members of his entourage ...

I've never been one to wish ill upon others (unless they happen to be the Cowboys or they are threatening the winning percentage of one of my fantasy teams) but I do hope LaVar's knee gives him trouble all throughout next year

Even though it was 1992 or so, they tell me that- before I woke up- I was repeating "Red Sox, 2004" over and over.
