This game is supposed to get back under way at 8:37, just after Barack Obama's half-hour national ad. The Phillies lead the series 3-1. There's still the possibility of the game being postponed again -- by rain or by snow.

you gotta be kidding
The game is delayed for a half-hour political ad?!
Arrrrrghhhh.
If I weren’t already boycotting Obama for that dopey bailout for billionaires (that didn’t work, mind, unless “making Paulson’s friends even richer” counts), this would do it.
And I thought Bush was bad, for trading Sammy Sosa…

they didn't delay the game
the just preempted the pre-game show. Thanks for making a political issue out of it, though.
What do you mean, "blank slate"?
Haven't the rest of the games started at 8:37 too?

i'm skeptic about the bailout
but can you really say that it didn’t work yet?

You do know
that McCain voted for the bailout too. Are you boycotting him as well?

no pre-game
no problem. Even if it is brought to you by a political ad
Remember if a Democrat wins it's a mandate, if a Republican wins it's a law suit
Here we go

yeah, it was a bad ball
but I’d rather have the centerfielder flubbing it with his motion going towards the plate than the 2nd basemen going away

youre probably right
but i dont think either of them could have caught that ball and thrown out the runner. Upton would have had to dive if he would have been close enough, and that is a big if. tough play for anyone.

the rays are penilized by playing in a national league park
aren’t the phillies playing by the same rules? I hate you Tim McCarver.

Reds interested in Mulder?
From Fay:
The Reds will at least explore signing left-hander Mark Mulder, whose option was turned by the Cardinals last week. “I’ve got to see what the medical situation is,” Jocketty said. “I traded for him and re-signed him. I obviously liked him.”

seeing as how they scored to pretty much save their lives. However, it looks like the Phillies are the ones who have momentum on their side. Of course, playing at home helps.
