1 The gloves are off, and we're playing hardball.

It's third and fifteen and they're looking at a full-court press.

Maybe we should drop ten and punt?

 

3 The GOP will hit a foul ball into the stands of Congress.  Pelosi will duck away at the last second and Obama will get it right in the noggin.

4

 

dammit, why does Dick Morris have to curse us like this?

5 Sadly, the GOP establishment can be relied upon to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.....

6 Have Obama throw it home, so that all runners score.

7 You throw to second to keep the team that's batting from having a big (read: lots of runs scored) inning.  IOW, to stop hemorrhaging.

8 so, is it time to start wondering about possible October Surprizes? How many gay GOP congressmen will the left out this time?

9 The only way for the donks to win is to break out the 1919 Black Sox playbook......

I renounce myself.

10 I love baseball analogies.....and peanut butter.

11 The baseball been berry, berry good to me...

12 I don't see why we have to keep score at all.

Competition is just so unfair.

13 Have Obama throw it home, so that all runners score.

"If a woman has to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she will choose to save the infant's life without even considering if  there are men on base. "

So glad somebody is addressing this.  You know the Dems will have the last laughs, with unlimitless money funneled through your tax paying citizens. 

So what if they lose this round?  The country will be to the point of no return, Cloward - Piven to the bitter end.

"Yeah, well, this Death Star (aka Obama Stach) is fully funded and operational.  Suckas".

16 Obama is capable of throwing out both runners while raising their taxes at the same time.

17 A deep shot to right field will bounce off Barney Frank's head and over the wall for a three run dinger.

18 Not matter what, I think Nancy's tenure as Speaker will be over.

19 Who will be our closer in 2012?

20 ...Barney Frank throws like a girl ...

21

 

The Republicans are going to sacrifice bunt and push the man on 2nd base to 3rd base. Then they'll pray the next batter in 2012 can get the man home.

It's the prudent pussy thing to do.

 

22 Like I always say: "Winning isn't everything.  It's anything."

23 Ace,

Why do you keep wanting to have you and me suck each other's dicks, and it's not even November 3rd yet?

24 There's no crying in politics

25 Do I really need to trot out the wisdom of Winston Wolf again? November is still quite a ways off.

26 In the end, the Republicans will become the wardens of the new socialist America. Will they send Babe Ruth up to knock these anti American policies out of the park or bunt? The entire game hinges on swinging for the fences.

27 If the democrats were smart, they would run a tiny midget in all the hotly contested seats.

28 Barney is their catcher so the throw home may get bobbled if the GOP runner slides in feet first.

29 And then Coach Obama has our team executed. "Let be clear, elections only uh apply when we win them." - Baraka Hussein "Present" Osama Obama bin Laden

30 Since the GOP is the runners in this metaphor the one headed home will fall on his face, accidentally setting off the gun in his pocket and killing the guy headed for second.

31 Is the football equivalent the Tony Romo play a couple years ago when they could've won the game with a field goal but he got cocky and decided to run the ball on 4th down and they ended up losing?

32 You're certainly an optimistic bastard today. I can certainly see the runner on 2nd pulling a hammie about the time he round's third. And then the guy on first getting thrown out in a rundown due to chronic inattentiveness.

33 Can I pway catwer?

34 ...and the outfielder gets his clock cleaned by the linebacker who wonders what @&#% game these idiots think is being played here...

35 Hell, I broke down and gave money to Carly Fiorina (whom I despise on a personal level) hoping she'll knock Boxer out.  Anything to help us eliminate Dem control.  Next on my list is a contribution to Dino Rossi - may he wipe the floor with that bimbo Patty Murray in Washington state. 

36 Even dragging out the sports cliche can't stop Ace from demeaning a minority.  Led by a mental patient?  Nutting on ewoks, desparaging the mentally challenged...what a sick man.

37

 

If it were up to me, I'd charge the mound.

38 I'm obviously in a cage-fighting frame of mind rather than baseball.

39

Ah yes.  I remember the good ole' days when dems touted the promise of engagement - or how they told us of how Bush's evil confrontational attitude would ruin the world's chances for peace.

http://tinyurl.com/2ebejvb

How could we have ever mistrusted the Barry?

 

40 Oh, yeah. More Cubs jokes.  At least we don't dress up in bear suits.

41 Ricky Henderson don't need to be on second to score.  Ricky can score from first just fine.  In fact, if Ricky was on second, Ricky would have already stolen third.  We all know that Ricky Henderson is gonna score.  Especially when Ricky is on third, already. Ricky Henderson scores.  So, the Republicans need to listen to Ricky Henderson's advice and be more like Ricky Henderson.

42 Obama is the number one draft pick by the Tigers when Randy Smith was running them. Obama had one pitch that could get the lower level hitters out, but couldn't rely on that one pitch when he got to the bigs.

They had some bullpen sessions to work on a second and third pitch and realized his stuff was so bad, he couldn't do it. So, because they had so much money wrapped up in the number one pick, they had to keep rolling him out every fifth day, hoping the defense behind him would keep making the plays and getting him out of jams he made for himself; he couldn't find the strike zone some days; other starts his stuff was so bad he got rocked and set in for an early shower.

Finally, the other players went to the GM and asked them to send him back down for more seasoning; anything to give their team a chance to win games. But because they couldn't give him his outright release (due to the fact the team was out of moves). So, he has been moved to the bullpen for long relief when the team is getting shelled.

43 I can certainly see the runner on 2nd pulling a hammie about the time he round's third. And then the guy on first getting thrown out in a rundown due to chronic inattentiveness. Reminds me of that scene in Major League where Bob Uecker says, "Give him some credit. At least he didn't spike himself."

44 If Nancy keeps talking I may have to move my 60 seat prediction up to 65. Please keep talking, mental patient.

45 You know when there's a guy on second and there's a hit and so the outfielder throws the ball to second, to keep the man on first from advancing, and concedes the run?

No.

46 Oh, yeah. More Cubs jokes.  At least we don't dress up in bear suits burkas.

FIFY.

47 It's... a baseball analogy!

About Democrats who SUCK!

In a season in which the Reds are WINNING!

(writhes, moans)

48 Yes, I have some interesting looking sentences there; some unfinished thoughts, eh?

49 Why does everyone keep saying I should play the Green Monster?

50

Prediction: They throw home. Because they're stupid and led by a mental patient.

Crap!  Does this mean another primetime speech to remind us of how stupid we are for not having the capacity to understand Barry's brilliance?

51

 

Is this the GOP this November?

 

 

52 Hey, I can catch that ball!

53 OMG! Biden just tagged himself out!

54 Paranoid,

Romo had to run, he couldn't get the ball down for the kick.

55 It's the bottom of the ninth for the Democrats, and they have two out (one of 'em is Bawney Fwank).

The Republicans punt.

56

...So.  We're in the Ditch...with our Slurpee...

and we know who got us here.  We also know that someone needs to drive the car to home.  'cause that's where the garage is.

  So, when we want to get to home...what do we do with the gears?

Wait.  First we need to check with the Third-Base Coach.

  Whitey will know what to do.  That Crackah knows his analogies...

 

57 Damn it, Dick. I'm still waiting for Hillary vs. Condi.

58

TOUCHDOWN!!!!

 

 

 

_what?

 

59

 

We're on the 1 yard line, set up for a chipshot fieldgoal to win the NFC Championship...

snap goes to Tony Romo...

60 If one man is on second and the hits a line drive to center, we plan to launch a federal investigation of the fans in the stands who are wearing the colors of the other team.

61 O/T, I think the 'Cuda is reading AoS:

First, ladies, itÂ’s hard to take a critic seriously when they lecture you wearing a bear suit. So, itÂ’s difficult for me to drum up much outrage at this latest ad. But, really, lying about a sister while wearing an Ewok outfit is no way to honor our foremothers on the eve of the 90th anniversary of their victory.

62 To beat this baseball analogy into the ground, the Democrats are like a pitcher that has a 85 mph string straight fastball, is getting hammered, and Manager Obama big solution is to curse at the hitters.

63 The real damage will come in state elections.  With Republicans pickup up legislative seats and governorships in a reapportionment year, the Dems are going to have problems for several years.

64 My favwite movie is Eight Men Out.

65 A friend of my daughter's interned for some congresscritter in DC over the summer. He told my daughter that Nancy is much more corpse looking IRL than she is on TV. Hell, she looks like Weekend at Bernie's on TV.

66

And then Coach Obama has our team executed.

"Let be clear, elections only uh apply when we win them." - Baraka Hussein "Present" Osama Obama bin Laden

Naw, he won't resort to that. Not with the Liberal Umpire Media sucking him off.

67 The Dems are down by five runs at the bottom of the seventh inning so Manager Obama tells the players that its okay of they change uniforms and go play for the other team for the rest of the game.

68 Can't wait 'til the ref comes in and blows the perfect game for us by giving a call at first to the opponent.

69 My last baseball analogy will be to hope that not all the umpires are bought off so the Dems can cheat. . . .

76

You redneck bitter clinger wingers. You can't use a baseball analogy for the elite socialist nuanced party. You must use a game like Jai Alai, some faggy french sport, or perhaps tennis; mixed doubles.

Here's a great analogy. It's first and 10 on the 10 yard line. The dems are defense, the rethuglicans are offence. The entire dem line is composed of clones of barny frank and nancy pelosi. The entire offence is composed of Chris Christi. Hut.

More likely though is that the republicans have the ball and fumble it, recover it, fumble it, lose yardage, advance, fumble it again then somehow barely manage to fall over the endzone with multiple flags down.

77 Fucking Cubs.  Couldn't score in a two-bit whorehouse with a pocketful of quarters.

78 Baraka Hussein "Present" Osama Obama bin Laden isn't worried about the upcoming elections. He knows the 7 fictional states in his mind will vote solidly Dem. That's a lot of made up House seats he doesn't have to worry about.

79 64- I live in a CA district that just elected a Republican to the state Senate by a comfortable margin (+6) when in another year it would have been a razor thin win or a loss. The Republican made the right move by just hammering the Democrat as a spendthrift crook. Seems like a nice little omen.

89 "The run scores, the man flies to second and rounds to steal third, there's an error at third and the ball goes into the foul line gutter and rolls out to the outfield, and that run comes home, too."

And then Morganna runs onto the field wearing a Reagan T-Shirt.

90 What's going to be irritating is that, even though the Democrats have been running Congress for the last four years, the MFM still lets them get away with disavowing any responsibility for the economy whatsoever.

On the other hand, if the GOP wins even a one-seat majority in the House (and I'm purposely staying in Winston Wolf mode here), from election night onward anything higher than 5% unemployment and anything less than 25% GDP growth will be blamed solely on the Republicans.

You won't hear any talk about giving them time, and suddenly Barack Obama will be seen as completely powerless.

It's going to be really irritating.

91 Given BHO's comments on how to drive a car, I thought the sport of the ruling elite was NASCAR?

92

I find this irreverence toward baseball disturbing.

94 Is the Ewok scratching his balls a signal to steal third?

95 Now that they have Obamacare, they've used the "Blue Dog" impostors like the peep show tissues that they were - if they're going to take losses, they'll sacrifice the Stupak block and save the true Commies who know how to return a favor.

Dude, girls who can make that throw. Barney Frank throws like JaMarcus Russell!

(Or, so I don't have to denounce myself as racist: he throws like Ryan Leaf.)

100 I was just thinking spending money on seats that may be salvageable is probably the optimal choice for the national Dems, but doesn't it immediately give GOP challengers the opportunity to paint the recipients as lockstep supporters of the Reid-Pelosi-Obama agenda?

101 I think they will throw home as well. Obama throwing from center field. The ball rolls to a dead stop between 2nd and 3rd.

102 George Will, did you just write a contraction?  Philistine. 

103 Speaking of HA...is it me, or has it gotten rather stuffy over there recently???  I tried to follow a comment thread through three pages of $20 dollar words and capitalized finger-pointing; finally gave it up.

Still haven't heard anything from any woman Obama ever dated or touched or looked at before the wookie, am I right? Perhaps this should be a softball analogy. The same rules apply, pretty much, it's just gentler.

That's what the female Ewok said!

110 Thanks for the analogy, Dick.

Reminds me of the good ol' days of my youth watching games at Cominsky Field.

Yeah, the White Sox had great players like, uh, uh . . .

111 The Dems are arrogant, but they're not stupid.   They may not publically admit that they're in trouble, but they have internal polling, and they have to know its true.

The only strategy that EVER makes sense is to try to defend defensible seats.

So that's where they are going to toss their money.

112 Speaking of JaMarcus Russel, he could have a very nice second career as an H-back.  He runs fast and can throw a run block.  And he's gotta catch better than he throws.

ancestor, antecedent, ascendant, ascendent, root- someone from whom you are descended (but usually more remote than a grandparent)

126 Looks like Harry has some spla'in to do ...

Williams claimed that on two occasions he delivered to Reid at least $10,000 in cash from Mustang Ranch owner Joe Conforte as early as 1970, during ReidÂ’s lieutenant governor campaign. The lie detection test, dated May 30, confirms the veracity of WilliamsÂ’ statements that Reid built part of his campaign war chest with his ties to Conforte.

155

Focus on the PA-4 race

Our district is like R+4 or more and we have had a Dem, Jason Altmire for 3 terms. Twice because we ran the same candidate who he beat the first time around and last time because of the Obama wave.

We have an upstart, Rothfus who beat a very well know DA Mary Beth Buchannon for the Republican primary.

Rothfus does have a decent chance to beath Altmire and the republicans should throw some money around here to get this Republican leaning district back into republican hands.

162 149 Remind me: when was the first time that Dick Morris was right about something?

Condi vs Hilla....Never Mind.

163 Isn't it cute how Hillary is quiet? and Bill?

Biden too.

I think Biden just got a gag order.  Billary I think are like your cat when you just took away its favorite toy.  Just sitting in the highest part of the house, scheming a takeover.

164

"See, the Republicans drove the car into first base, then they all got out of the car. So the democrats stream out of the dugout, sucking on their Slurpees, and they begin to sweat and swat at flies. The Republicans just continue to stare as the democrats proceed to the pitcher's mound, looking for someone to throw to Barney Frank. (no takers as of this moment). At this point the car slides into a ditch, and the moral of the story is, the Republicans should NOT get the keys to the car."

165 149 i won't use your name i can't remember the toe sucker being right about anything.....except maybe about hillary being a bitch

166 I'm willing to roll the dice a little and say 100 seats.

167 Sock Off!

Biden has been moved to an undisclosed location until the Summer of Recovery is over.

168

 

I'll put it another way.

Would you rather be "donged" by Brett Favre or date-raped by Ben Rothlisberger? That's pretty much the dillema in front of the Democrats, right now.

169 Sock Off for real this time!

170 Remind me: when was the first time that Dick Morris was right about something?

He called the health scare abomination from before the start (before the election) and was pretty accurate at what The Precedent and his junta were going to do, which would potentially take the US down.  Now, it wasn't all that difficult to predict these things, but almost everyone else missed it by miles.

It turns out that Morris is much better at predicting the policies, strategies, and effects of leftard governance than predicting race results.

171

I think a safe bet is the Republicans picking up between 20-35 seats.

It all depends on the next few months. If unemployment is higher than 9.5% or stays stagnant or if inflation or deflation starts to increase then i think we are looking at 35+.

However, world events can change things.

If Israel or America attack Iran before the election, it could help or hurt Obama depending on what happens and our response.

172

 

holy shit, I hate the internet and I hate the world we live in.

Donging.

It's a word, I just found out, as, I suppose, many of you have.

Donging is when a dude takes a cellphone pic of his penor and sends it to a chick for shits & giggles.

173

i hate you.

174 Dick Morris gave a speech at a conference that I was attending.  He gave a pretty good talk (mostly about healthcare).  This was last year and his predictions were pretty accurate.

175 My bet is that they miss the cut-off man and the ball has to be chased down by the pitcher and catcher, who collide in hilarious fashion. Insert rimshot here. Reid is the pitcher, the lisping and sashaying Barney Frank (NTTAWWT) is the catcher and Nancy Pelosi is the cut-off "man" who was ignored the whole time.

176

When Dick speeaks...Barney listens.

Wow, my education never ends......

178 How about this metaphor:

A house is on fire, and there's enough time to rescue either a 3-moth old baby, or a fully-grown chimpanzee, but not both.

What do you do?

Aw, fuck it. . . .

179

 

One more thing...if the Democrats get swamped in November don't you dare blame Obama.

...

...

Because he inherited the runners!

^{you see, it was Bush's fault the Democrats lost the House.}

180 Nice catch, Ace. Don't ever f*ckin do it again!

181 Dick has spoken to the teaparties here in Ark. several times. He is a good speaker, and quite popular here.

182 After the throw, the outfielder scratches his nuts and blurts out a stream of Red Man juice, signifying Democrat leadership's disdain for woman voters, especially Ann Althouse.

183

Because I'm inclusive with sports analogies, let's also say that, seeing they're down a goal, they've pulled their goalie and are proceeding to kill the last ten minutes off the clock and take stupid penalties.

184 O/T, I think the 'Cuda is reading AoS:

First, ladies, itÂ’s hard to take a critic seriously when they lecture you wearing a bear suit. So, itÂ’s difficult for me to drum up much outrage at this latest ad. But, really, lying about a sister while wearing an Ewok outfit is no way to honor our foremothers on the eve of the 90th anniversary of their victory.

This might be cool. If Todd is reading it, many of are dead Morons.

185 The manager, Pelosi, calls time, approaches the mound while signaling the bullpen for a lefty relief pitcher, completely ignoring the fact that the GOP has been hitting lefties out of the park.

186 Biden too.

He wasn't moved. He got lost again. Between first and second base.

187 There were a couple of times it felt like Sarah posted in the comments.  No way to be sure, but the use of language, the tone of the comment, the rhetorical pose of the position taken... sounded like her.

188 Tell me does the GOP even know what game they are trying to play?

189 Baseball has been very, very good to me.

190

You left out the part of her spitting out the tobacco chaw and scratching her nutsack.

 

191 I say between 40 and 50 in the House and > 5 in the Senate.

192 Prediction: They throw home. Because they're stupid and led by a mental patient.
Most libs would eat the ball and then ban baseball everywhere, arguing that kids might eat the balls and become obese, which would drive up the cost to the government (since the government took over our health care).
Well ... they'd put a hefty tax on baseballs and then ban the game after a year or two. They'd explain that baseball is un-Amerikan.

193 The Donks will "throw home" but the runner will trip over 2nd base, break an ankle and still insist on crawling on bloodied knees toward 3rd. Can you tell I have lost the will to really and truly back Republicans?

194 Steele will signal the base runner to hold at third.  Obama will have the umpire rule that the game is called on account of rain.

195 Donging is when a dude takes a cellphone pic of his penor and sends it to a chick for shits & giggles.

You're a lifesaver.  It's a pain in the ass describing it in verbose terms when you don't have a phone with a qwerty keyboard.

196 In answer to Ace's final question, you could rank vulnerable House Democrats two different ways: By their own 2008 percentage margin, or by Obama's percentage in that district. Or you could borrow Patrick Ishmael's top 100 list from last month. Or take the table in the post of his that you linked, and push the seats that the NRCC is ignoring but the DCCC thinks are worth defending.

197 I say between 40 and 50 in the House and > 5 in the Senate.

As long as that anti-American, totalitarian, mobbed-up scrunt Pelosi goes back to being nothing more than "that stretched-out mutant representing the communist satrapy of San Francisco", I'm five-by-five.

Too bad it can't happen during this painfully awful season of Top Chef so that each of the moonbat freaks they've rustled up from the D.C. sewer can work on making an amuse bouche out of their own tears.

Guest-judged by Rick Santorum.

198 My fear is that they'll set fire to the stadium rather than lose.

199 190 Great, now you have me all self-conscious.  Who's the suspect?  Inquiring minds want to know!

200 Donging is when a dude takes a cellphone pic of his penor and sends it to a chick for shits & giggles.

Shaving your sack makes it look even more impressive.

201

I actually would go even further then skipping the first 30. If the Repubs can't win by atleast 15 seats I prefer they lose by 5 anyway and not give Obama a foil.

Second, because if the genric polls are to be believed, then I can see the Repubs winning as many as 100 seats. Thats right I said it, 100 seats. First, the registered voter polls are at +6 for the Repubs. Add 2-3 for "likely voter" additions. Another couple for historical out performing for Repubs. And another couple for heat and intensity this cycle, and I "EXPECT"  a 10-13 point generic victory. It could be even higher then that. The Dems had a 40 seat advantage with a generic 8.9 point victory last congessional election. Shouldn't a 11-12 point generic victory for Repubs correlate to possibly a 60 seat advantage. Not to mention the gerrymandering disadvantage democrats have. In other words too many slam dunk districts in minority areas and most other seats being vulnerable.

Finally is the past elections a year ago. The Massachusets, Virginia and New Jersey races were a +20 +26 +31 for Repubs compared to what Obama got in 2008. And those elections occurred when Obama was at 51-44 and 49-46 in approval. Now he is 45-50. Any seat with a decent Repub canidate where Obama won by less then 30 points should be strongly contested. And thats a large majority of Dem held seats. Not just 60 measely seats.

I skip the easeist 45 all together and expect victory there. I put a little  money on the next 20 and put the majority in the next 30. You don't need to win Alan Grayson's seat by 20 points. You just need to beat him and you will. You don't need to send money there at all. Focus on the Ron Kleins, Ron Kind's, and Mellisa Bean's of the world. They could easily lose if you send money against them and if they have tough competion. And these seats are considered "Likely Democratic". Bull crap! Go big I say.

202 40 - love, pilgrims.

203 199 rockmom is one of my favorite commenters at HA, and her take on FL-2 with Allen Boyd sent chills down my spine. I don't know what Pelosi told the Blue Dogs to get them to slit their throats, but their votes on Obamacare ended their political careers. Maybe they will get lobbyist jobs, but looking at that list, these Democrats are screwed.

204 Joe Walsh is up against Melissa Bean, I think. It would be great to knock her out, especially after that town hall where thugs threatened her constituents.

205 138

any Louisianians present?

You rang?

206 207 Joe Walsh is up against Melissa Bean, I think. It would be great to knock her out, especially after that town hall where thugs threatened her constituents.

Is his campaign song "Life's Been Good"?

207 I got the White House, don't ask the price
I've barely been there, they tell me it's nice...

208 157- I park the car by the entrance, and leave the flashers on while I run into the mall. Who is going to give me a ticket on Christmas Eve?

209 /removes glasses

The playbook says when the runners are in that configuration you should give the ball to Shaq for the free kick at the corner pocket.

/slams Dem Playbook shut

210 What happens when Obizzle issues the Nero Decree?  Narcisscists don't take rejection well......

211 Just think. If McCain had won the Potus, the Republican Ressurection wouldn't be happening right now. Thanks b.

212 If one looks at the Waxman remarks, the Grijalva nonsense, etc. one senses that the progressives are trying to cut off the throw and stick the ball in their pocket. You're gonna see money taken away from trying to save seats for 'blue dog'/ 'centrist'/ 'pro-life' Democrats in favor of guaranteeing reelection for those who pimp the Real Democrat Agenda.

213

For starters we need to sweep out all of the DIRT (DemocRATS in Red Territory). None of these people should remain, whether they voted against Obamacare or not. Show them all the door. Bright, Matheson, Boren, Edwards....ALL OF THEM. There is no D worth voting for if you believe in liberty, free-markets, the Rule of Law, etc. NOT ONE!!!

214 Is his campaign song "Life's Been Good"?

He and Joe Walsh had a humorous exchange about copyright laws. There is a lot to be said for name recognition, though; look at Alvin Greene.

215 I don't know how to go about doing that. At some point I guess I'll ask the RNCC for a list. Hell with them, ask Jim Geraghty.
