[Jennicut]

11. Yeah, he has some nice arms, huh?

Not bad for 66.

[PatSeg]

50. Not bad for any age

That's great picture!

[Jennicut]

51. So true.

[HelenWheels]

2. Sexy!!!!

[muffin1]

16. Isn't he though?

Jill is a lucky gal!

[Realtalk]

27. For real

He is! And Joe looks really good in those pants. Mmhmm...

[muffin1]

37. Welcome to DU!

Yes, he looks quite "happy" to be there...}(

[goclark]

49. Ms. goclark agrees

:bounce:

[Drunken Irishman]

3. I saw it. It was a pretty bad pitch. :P

Not terrible, but a little high. ;)

[Muttocracy]

31. yeah, he told someone later he was just happy it made it to the catcher

4. Why does he have his polo shirt buttoned all the way up?

It looks a bit goofy.

[Jay Landsman]

35. Bulletproof vest, maybe

I'm not sure. He looks like he has something on underneath his shirt.

[Pacifist Patriot]

42. I think it looks like there's something like that under there as well.

[rurallib]

5. Check the hat. I think he greased it up.

[AtomicKitten]

6. Joe B has his game face on.

[JuniperLea]

9. LOL!! That's what I thought too!

:rofl:

Excellent!

[AtomicKitten]

21. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that look.

:scared:

[Island Blue]

7. I just heard him interviewed on MASN -

the sports network for the Orioles & Nats. (Where the game is being broadcast.) He was great!

[SoxFan]

8. Biden is still younger than Tim Wakefield and Jamie Moyer

[dancingme]

38. hey, Jamie Moyer is great

Phillies fans love him!

[rosesaylavee]

10. Now that's one grand ol' man

He has good form for a non-player. And is he throwing a curve ball? But wait, we didn't see if it made it to the plate did we? :P

[Uzybone]

12. LOL

[rockymountaindem]

13. They probably had to pull him after the 5th inning though

:)

[Beacool]

14. Where's Clio???

How did she miss this, she looooves her Joe!!!

}(

[Jennicut]

15. Oh, she will be here.

Me and Clio are always there!

[Beacool]

17. You too???

My, my, it appears that Joe has the ladies enthranced......

:evilgrin:

[Clio the Leo]

30. I was sleepin'!

Savin' up my energy for all the sexyness!!!

"Why .... Mr. Vice President .... have you been working out? Prrrrrr...." ;)

[Beacool]

32. Sleeping on the job, huh??

I was wondering what took you so long to post over your beloved Joe. LOL!!

:D

[Rosa Luxemburg]

18. Wow photo #1

he looks good! Down girl!

[Jackeens]

19. Rosa Luxemburg? Step under this, now.

I should warn you - the water is VERY cold.

:-)

[Rosa Luxemburg]

36. LOL!

[alcibiades_mystery]

20. Biden accused by press of "gaffe"

for throwing a high fastball rather than a low outside slider, as called by the catcher!

Will Obama discipline him? Will he ever live down *this* gaffe?

[Jackeens]

22. He should be impitched. Now.

:blush:

[elleng]

23. !!!!!!

:eyes:

[elleng]

24. ORIOLES BEAT yankees

10 - 5!!!!!

[Jackeens]

25. Is that good?

:shrug:

I'm Irish, what would I know about baseball?

Although I did see the Mets play twice and fell in love with Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden. But they were just summer loves, I returned home and they forgot about me. Never even got a card.

[elleng]

26. Thats life in this big world, Jackee!

I've never liked yankees; kind of like repugs to me! AND Baltimore (Orioles) not far from DC, where I've lived for 25 years; now, I'm actually in Maryland (near DC.) SO, when I have a choice, I pick Orioles. Got it???

(About the Mets, thats another story!)

[Jackeens]

29. Are you saying I was NEVER destined to Mrs Strawberry?

[jillan]

28. Msnbc has been showing clips of him - he seems so much younger than he really is.

[CrispyQ]

41. He's got incredible energy!

Jill too!

They are inspirational seniors. ;)

[AnnieBW]

33. I do have to give * props for doing ONE thing right

He did throw a strike today. Biden threw high, but got it over the plate.

[SoxFan]

43. Biden thought the catcher had called for a pitchout

Signals got crossed up.

[windbreeze]

34. I know this is the VP's throwout thread....

and how thrilled we all are to see the pictures...so is it ok, if I mention my g.daughter who threw out the first pitch in front of almost 50,000 people at a Mariner's game in Seattle when she was only 9 years old?? (proud g.ma here)wb

(apologize...not really trying to hijack the thread, but when I looked at the pictures of Joe doing so, it brought that other day back to me)

[bdamomma]

39. I think VP Biden looks pretty good.

[CrispyQ]

40. Damn!

He looks good! Usually I like him best in navy blue, but that black shirt makes him look seriously fine!

Can't wait to see him on CNN later today!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Debi]

44. The hat

made me go awwwww :hug:

What a man!

[SeaLyons]

45. OMG...I think I am seriously in love with that man...

:silly:

[mopinko]

46. white sox fans are disappointed

there was a rumor that #1 sox fan would be throwing out the first pitch.
pout
