He's wearing a white shirt and tie under the uniform and slacks
. Seriously man, let your hair down once in a while and put on some jeans!
"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

It started out as a curve, but with a little wave of his hand was easily in for a strike.Originally posted by MarkGrace View PostHe throws a two-seamer. Little low on the seams though. Someone should have told him to go four for better control."They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

He told the group that gathered prior to the game that he'd been practicing for a few days. He played soccer all his life, never any games like baseball. He actually looked pretty good.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”
― W.H. Auden
"God made the angels to show His splendour - as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But men and women He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of their minds."

I played football with some.Germans one time. They don't know how to throw at all. It would be an accomplishment for him to be able to throw out a first pitch.Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

He looks like a girl throwing.
Speaking of... My sister used to play catch with me growing up, and she could throw a baseball and a football as well as any guy. She could even throw a mean curve ball. She's now 57, I should bring a football to our next family dinner and see if she's still got it. Come to think of it, I wonder if I could still throw a football. (without killing my arm).

Elder Uchtdorf better find the pitcher's plate (rubber) or he won't have to worry about holding any runner. They will all advance on balks.Originally posted by EuropeanFootballMale View PostNo way he can hold the runner at first with that windup
An ILLEGAL PITCH is (1) a pitch delivered to the batter when the pitcher does not have his pivot foot in contact with the pitcher's plate; (2) a quick return pitch. An illegal pitch when runners are on base is a balk.
A BALKis an illegal act by the pitcher with a runner or runners on base, entitling all runners to advance one base.“Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game. In the deed the glory.”
"All things are measured against Nebraska." falafel

Mission accomplished.Originally posted by PaloAltoCougar View PostBecause of an unfortunate admixture of my advanced years and immaturity, everytime I see this thread title my first thought is that President Uchtdorf has gained welcome relief from irregularity.
