There is nothing more frustrating for a baseball fan than when your team leaves runners on base. Anyone who follows baseball knows that opportunities to score are hard to come by, and missed opportunities can cost you the game. With that in mind, if the U.S. Congress were a baseball team, its fan would be devastated to have watched the team leave at least 500 runners on base so far this season. Let me explain.
Just like in baseball, politics is a team sport. Legislation passed in the House of Representatives must be brought home by the Senate. However, if the Senate refuses to play ball and not even discuss bills passed by the House, they are essentially leaving runners on base and throwing away opportunities to score.
