the Republican catcher went nuts about having to wear a mask (Can you get back to work, Joe?)

September 2021

“Despite this week’s turmoil in Washington, including the threat of a government shutdown, the annual Congressional Baseball Game went ahead as scheduled, with President Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi among the spectators. It was just baseball, no politics, until the Republican catcher went nuts about having to wear a mask.” —Jimmy Fallon

“It was a real nail-biter. In the eighth inning, I got a text from Pelosi saying, ‘We’re down by one run and only your donation of $26 can turn this around.’” —Jimmy Kimmel

“But Pelosi had to work the phone instead of watching what I’m sure was a terrible baseball game. You think regular baseball is slow, imagine what it’s like with these bozos.” —Seth Meyers

“President Biden stopped by for the game, although it was a little creepy when he left by disappearing into a cornfield.” —Jimmy Fallon

“And while he was there, he handed out ice cream bars with the presidential seal on the package. I scream, you scream, we all scream, ‘Can you get back to work, Joe?’” —James Corden

“The Republicans beat the Democrats 13-12, but only because Kyrsten Sinema refused to tag anyone out.” —Seth Meyers

“The Dems had a chance for a big win, but in the bottom of the ninth, Joe Manchin wrote a letter cautioning that it would be irresponsible to score.” —Stephen Colbert
