Do I sense another flip-flop coming?

John Kerry loves his hometown team, the Boston Whi- err... Red Sox. As you no doubt saw on the news (and the front page of your newspaper, the front page of ESPN.com, CNN.com, FoxNews.com, and on SportCenter), John Kerry threw out the first pitch of yesterday's Yankees-Red Sox game.

I am happy to report that there was a fair scattering of boos (about 50-50 I'd say) and that Mr. Kerry throws like a bitch (and from several feet in front of the mound, no less).

According to FoxNews' Fred Barnes (sorry, no link), after the game Mr. Kerry was asked by a reporter who his all-time favorite Red Sox player was. His response? Eddie Yost. Good choice, in that Eddie Yost was a damn fine player. Bad choice, in that Eddie Yost never played for the Sox. I wouldn't put too much stock in that statement however, as I'm sure he'll have a new favorite player tomorrow.
