You didn’t think we’d forgotten the baseball post, did you? Never! Our full coverage of last week’s annual Roll Call Congressional Baseball Game was always destined to come on Sunday, because Sunday is a day for watching baseball after Church. This was always the plan. Always. Always time infinity. (Lies.) So let’s take a photo tour of Republicans vs. Democrats playing a sport, terribly, in their tights (YES, THAT MEANS JOE BARTON) at Nationals Stadium. Up top: escaped Uighurs from New Jersey sneak into the field! MORE »

We will post a thorough report later this evening of last night’s Wonkette Field Trip to the annual Congressional Baseball Game, but until then, here’s the story of how a little boy’s heart was torn to shreds. All Intern Riley — clad in his finest pink “Sting” sweater — wanted at this game was a photograph with the Republican team’s mascot, Orange John Boehner. Riley even offered him a friendly Hitler salute! But just before Riley’s turn for dream-realization came up, Boehner cut off all photos. Is this how an orange professional sports mascot is supposed to treat children?

WONKETTE ATHLETIC COVERAGE: Tonight, for the first time in three years, your Wonkette will attend the annual Roll Call Congressional Baseball Game at Nationals Park, to produce epic journalism (get drunk and take stupid pictures). Your male associate editor and Intern Riley will be sitting somewhere, so if you any of you other attendees somehow know what we look like, be sure come over and say hi or punch us in the face. It starts at 7:00. You can still buy billions of tickets, since it is at an enormous professional athletic stadium. Proceeds go to charity, too, so you can pretend to feel good about yourself.
