Republicans Crush It Again—Fifth Year in a Row at the Congressional Baseball Game
Let’s Talk About That Game
So the annual Congressional Baseball Game happened again—and surprise, surprise, the Republicans won. Again. For the fifth straight year. The final score? A brutal 31-11. Ouch. The Democrats got steamrolled, no two ways about it. And the star of the show? Rep. August Pfluger from Texas. Dude was on fire—home runs, clutch plays, the whole package. MVP, no question.
How It Went Down
Right from the start, the GOP was playing like they owned the field. Which, let’s be honest, they kinda do at this point. Pfluger smashed a three-run homer in the third inning, and after that, it was pretty much game over. The Democrats—led by Rep. Pete Aguilar—tried to rally late, but come on. When you’re down by 20, you’re not making a comeback. Post-game, the Republicans were celebrating like they’d just won the World Series. And hey, for them, maybe it feels that way.
Five Years of GOP Domination
Here’s the thing: this isn’t just a fluke. Since 2019, the Republicans have turned this game into their personal playground. That first win was close—8-7—but since then? Total blowouts. Credit to guys like Rep. Roger Williams, who’s been managing the team forever. But this year? This was next-level. Like, “should-we-even-bother-keeping-score” level.
MVP Pfluger: From Air Force to Home Run King
Pfluger’s background as an Air Force pilot definitely shows in how he plays—disciplined, focused, and yeah, kinda terrifying for the other team. Went 3-for-4 with four RBIs and that monster home run. “We came prepared,” he said after the game, grinning like a guy who knows he just crushed it. His teammates weren’t shy about praising him either—one called him “the backbone of the team.” Not bad for a night’s work.
Democrats: What Now?
Meanwhile, the Democrats are… well, struggling. They haven’t won since 2018, and honestly, it shows. Rep. Aguilar promised they’d “regroup,” but let’s be real—they’ve been saying that for years. Some blame roster changes, others say they just don’t practice enough. But here’s my take: the Republicans treat this like a real competition, and the Democrats? Not so much. Unless something changes, 2025’s gonna be another long night for them.
Why This Game Actually Matters
Okay, sure, it’s just a baseball game. But in a town where Democrats and Republicans can’t agree on what day it is, this is one of the few times they actually come together. It’s been a tradition since 1909, raises millions for charity, and—here’s the kicker—they all seem to genuinely enjoy it. But let’s not kid ourselves: the GOP’s winning streak? It’s a flex. A way of saying, “Even in baseball, we’re running things.”
What Everyone’s Saying
Conservative media’s loving it, obviously. The Washington Examiner called it “GOP teamwork at its finest.” Social media’s flooded with #GOPBaseballDominance. Even the Washington Post—which once ran headlines like “Democrats Win After 10-Year Drought”—can’t ignore how one-sided this has become. The narrative’s clear: Republicans own this game now.
Bottom Line
Five straight wins. A 20-run demolition. An MVP performance that’ll be talked about for years. This wasn’t just another Republican victory—it was a statement. Whether you’re a Democrat dying for a comeback or a Republican soaking up the glory, one thing’s for sure: next year’s game just got a lot more interesting.
