Thanks to a Republican vote to stop California from setting its own auto emissions, Democrats can challenge virtually any Trump administration action, and eat up time on the Senate floor.

    Okay, but what if they actually hit the ball?

    Then they’d have to start running around the bases. People would be cheering and yelling. They’d have to avoid getting tagged out, which is very difficult and complicated. The other team might find it rude of them to score a point.

    Really, you don’t understand what hitting the ball involves. You’re not being practical. This is a very complicated game and the professions know the opportune time to swing the bat. Just trust the system. Chuck Schumer is one of the winningest coaches in baseball. If you’re criticizing his play style, you probably were rooting for Russia anyway.

      You know, it’s not even about hitting the ball. Hitting the ball is great and all, but that’s not fair to the other team. What if they weren’t ready? This is about sportsmanship! It’s about being the bigger person! And most importantly, it’s about the players. Chuckie needs a new glove, and nothing inspires other people to buy girl-scout cookies more than knowing they can make a difference to help the runner-up win the next championship tournament.
