Game 5 of the World Series, currently suspended after five and a half innings, is on hold again.  Tuesday afternoon the conclusion of the game was put off until at least Wednesday.

Which meant that Tuesday night, Fox’s World Series ratings were about the same as they have been for other Series games.

One bit of good news for cold wet Phillies fans, because the game was suspended in the sixth and not after the seventh inning, when they resume, the stadium will not yet have cut off beer sales.

Bud Selig isn’t worried about what this delay might do to his sport, well, other than rename it “the Winter Classic.”

Who’d a thunk that the Phillies would be playing meaningful games deeper into the fall than the Eagles?

And back to politics.  John McCain’s aides are reportedly worried that Sarah Palin has “gone rogue” and is now hurting the campaign. 

Bummer, they thought they were adding Hillary to the ticket, and ended up with Bill.

The McCain campaign has become so fractious and disorganized and self-destructive, you have to wonder, have they all become Democrats?

How badly has John McCain run his campaign?  If this presidency thing doesn’t work out Al Davis may decide he’s a perfect fit for the Oakland Raiders.
