Biden quips he knows ‘something about being counted out’ to World Series champs Atlanta Braves

President Biden hosted the Atlanta Braves, who won the 2021 World Series, at the White House on Monday, quipping that he also knows “about being counted out.”

Biden called Atlanta’s World Series win “one of history’s greatest turnarounds.”

“I know a little something about being counted out, and I know in Georgia, you show up when it counts,” the president said.

The team gifted Biden a Braves jersey with the number 46, which the president held up and showed around the room before taking a photograph with the team.

The president said the Braves will be “forever known as the upset kings of October.” The Braves had won fewer than half their games at the All-Star break during the 2021 season, but went on to beat the Houston Astros to win the World Series.

Biden’s defeat of former President Trump in Georgia was crucial to his 2020 election victory, which followed Biden’s early struggles in the Democratic primary race.

Biden was advising the Braves to find another Arnold Rothstein.

Did the Braves (isn’t that cultural appropriation?) get Dominion to operate the scoreboard?

No. Biden’s DoJ will send the Feebs to SEAT Scherzer and deGrom for some bohus charge before this weekend’s series.

“I know a little something about being counted out, and I know in Georgia, you show up when it counts,” the president said.

This is a direct reference to the Georgia elect fraud.   The idiot pig is rubbing it in our faces.

Biden is being a racist again. Doesn’t he know he could be hurting Stacey Abrams’ feelings when he says that Georgians show up when it counts?

His party took the MLB All Star Game away from the Atlanta Braves hosting it in 2021

Unlike the Atlanta Braves, Biden had to cheat to win.

Yep. After defeating the mighty Cornpop, Joe Biden jumped in his big rig semi to Chicago and pitched to Babe Ruth at Yankee Park. Joe felt bad for ‘The Babe’ so he pitched him a slow ball thus costing the Atlanta Braves of Boston the 1988 Stanley Cup. No Joke Man!!!

I didn’t even know the Braves won the world series, I don’t know who won the last SuperB owl. I do know TB 12 drove the Bucs to the win in 2021, but I watched that just to support Brady. I have watched the best in my life, and after Tom Brady, there will be nobody to replace him.

MLB, NFL and NBA? I loved them in the past, but they are like my ex wife.

Biden doesn’t even know what planet he’s on. He needs to zip it.
