Something to Cheer

At least the good guys still win at something:

Democrats may be winning elections. But they still can't win a baseball game.

Despite an influx of fresh talent from Pennsylvania -- and the coaching skills of Rep. Mike Doyle of Forest Hills -- the new majority party on Capitol Hill last night extended its losing streak in the annual congressional baseball tournament to seven games.

The GOP soundly defeated the Democrats 5-2, at RFK Stadium, home of the Washington Nationals.

Nine Democratic errors didn't help.

Nine Democratic errors...sounds like what Congress does each day before lunch.

And from the "the more things change, the more they stay the same" file...

But some of the new players were disappointments. Rep. Heath Shuler of North Carolina, a former Washington Redskins quarterback, went hitless.
