Democrats Win: Score Runs Faster Than They Spend Your Tax Dollars

The losing streak is over.

For the first time in eight years, Democratic lawmakers were able to defeat Republicans in the annual Roll Call Congressional Baseball game.  [pounding]

Final score: 15-10

Highlights included, but were not limited to:

Thad McCotter sprinting to first – only to get taken out for a pinch runner and CPR.

Heath Shuler proving he’s terrible at sports.

Bart Stupak channeling his inner Jeter and catching a foul pop as he tumbled over the dugout railing in the fourth inning.

Jeff Flake hitting a triple, but only after the Democrats tried to insert an earmark into the pitch. [making it inevitable that he was bound to hammer it.]

Adam Putnam proving he was like a motion to recommit – you can put him up … But it’s unlikely to go anywhere.
