Shuler Disappoints at RFK Again

North Carolina 11th District Congressional Representative Heath Shuler was a disappointment at RFK Stadium over the weekend as the Democrats lost the first two games of the 46th Annual Roll Call Congressional Baseball best of five game series. Despite putting on a show in batting practice, including hitting four home runs out of RFK Stadium, Shuler went hitless on the day. RFK has has always been tough on Heath.

The Washington Posts' Amy Argetsinger replied to my inquiry on whether they planned to publish another article on how Heath did as follows:

"We'll have it in tomorrow's column... GOP won, 5-2. Sadly, Heath Shuler grounded out on his first at bat, struck out the second two times.... Thanks for writing! -- Amy"

Here is the article Amy was referring to above (link).

The Democrats had lost five straight years coming into the weekend but with five freshman Congressman on their team there was a new hope for the party in 2007. The team now will have to dig itself out of a deep hole if they are to stop the losing streak this year. Maybe Nancy Pelosi can give the Donkeys a rah rah speech to get'em fired up.

It is good to see Congress is out having a good time because is not like they don't have any unresolved issues going on at the moment, only a war in the Middle East and boarder security with Mexico, those are minor.
