David Axelrod provides his keen insights on the election, MLB edition.

RESIZE: AAA

 

The St. Louis Cardinals just completed one of the most incredible post-season game come-from-behind wins that I’ve ever seen. Unfortunately for David Axelrod, he shot off his mouth before the game was decided. And with great comic effect.

SO…Tonight was the fifth and final game in the series between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Washington (DC) Nationals. After falling behind 6-0 in the deciding game of the National League Division Series with the Nationals, the Redbirds chipped away at that 6-0 lead, came within a run and trailed 6-5 in the 8th.  Washington added an insurance run in the bottom of the 8th and led 7-5 going into the 9th.  But the Redbirds scored four runs in the ninth and won the game 9-7.

At 9:42PM EDT, our old friend David Axelrod tweeted:

At Nats game and, man, they came our of the gates like Joe Biden! 6-0 in the third!

Heh.

Consider what happened tonight:  the visitors came in and fell behind to the DC insiders.  But at the 11th hour, the good guys (sorry, Nats fans) came away with the win.

Biden?  Lost.  Nats?  Lost.

I see a parallel developing.

(Go Cardinals!)

    Oh, flaunt it why don’t you? /bitterBravesfan

    Although I must admit that the proper adjective for the Nats choke job is “Bravesesque”.

    Grrr. Disappointed Nats fan.
    Now I’m learning that they lost, because God hates Axelrod for analogizing the Nats with Biden.
    Nevertheless, great post Bill.

    Glad Nats paid for Strasburg sitting. Glad Axelrod’s Don will pay for epic failure. Go Gamecocks v LSU!

    The Nationals should have had Martha behind the plate.

    So Obama’s appearing with Bruce Springsteen.
    Didn’t he support Jimmy Carter? Nice.

    Wait, I thought the game was at Kaminsky Field.
    My sincere condolences to the Nats fans. I was pulling for them, my team long out of the running. They had a great year, but this loss will hurt forever. Ugh.

    I love that Axelspare got toasted, but as a Ranger die hard, I have to say to Drew Storen – STOP WALKING PEOPLE!!!!!! You idiot!!!!

    Bill S – I am sure you are a fine person and great American, but the Cardinals are pure evil. I’m pulling for the Tigers for the political parallel of winning Michigan ( ok really because I have the least amount of animosity towards them).

    The home plate ump was consistent with his zone. Freese (that Satanist) did check his swing and umps never ever end a game on a check swing appeal to first.
