- Dean clearly was ad libbing, and stumbled into a linguistic trap. This is not a mortal sin, or even a venal one. I used to go watch Nolan Ryan when he pitched for the California Angels, and I saw him throw some wild pitches that were hard to believe -- and this guy was one of the best fastball pitchers in the history of the game.
But to continue with the stupid baseball metaphors, the Dems are in the middle of a tense, tight game against a team with a huge payroll and an impressive won/loss record. The umps are biased, the stadium is a hitter's paradise and some of the players allegedly on Team Democrat are actually on the take and trying to throw the game. Nevertheless, the Dems have managed to score a couple of runs -- thanks to a string of errors by the opposing team -- but they're still behind. It's an exceptionally bad moment for the pitcher to start throwing balls into the stands.
