A few takeaways ...

Submitted by TommyPaine on Sun, 02/12/2012 - 14:23.

- Ron Paul wears uniform #1.

- "I don't know why they put Ron Paul all the way down at the #7 batting position when he is their best long ball hitter." Gee, I wonder why.

- Barney Frank, of all people, comments on gynecology.

- Where is Newt Gingrich? Was he in the clubhouse eating hot dogs? Oh, I forgot ... his DAD played baseball.

- Huh??? The score is 9-8 ... in the SECOND INNING??? Notice Ron Paul's uniform is dirty in the 2nd inning -- he's the only one making any plays ... that's because he's in favor of a STRONG DEFENSE.

- The only two times the video goes bad: hit by pitch and catcher's interference ... they don't like to leave any evidence when they engage in dirty tricks.

LOL

He is good buddies with Sandusky, but that doesn't make him a pedophile.

Love that Astros uniform! Pretty funny that the commentators were wondering why RP was so far down in the lineup even though he was pretty much their best hitter. Nothing ever changes, eh?

The Republicans throw him in the back of the line-up, and the Democrats hit him with a pitch. It's amazing how long the establishment has had it out for RP.
