He’s freaking named after a tool of the game–you’d think he’d understand it better!

One of Mitt Romney’s aides badly needs to give him a crash course in baseball.

A few weeks ago, Romney, in attempting to explain a fib that was unusually slimy even for him, he talked about how he saw the Patriots win the World Series. Confident as I am that love of America beats strong in Manny Ramirez’s breast, I don’t think that’s what Romney was talking about.

Then, in the wake of his defeat in Iowa, Romney flashed that TV anchor grin and said,

This is obviously a bit like a baseball game, first inning. Well, it’s a 50-inning ball game. I’m going to keep on battling all the way and anticipate I get the nomination when it’s all said and done.

Please, for the love of our country, couldn’t somebody talk to the guy?
