there's luck...and then there's Obama

Talk about being on a good run.

Obama rented airtime from the television stations.

The 6th game of the World Series didn't get cancelled, it didn't get called off, the Rays TIED the game allowing the Series to be "postponed" for the first time in the history of the game.

To give you some perspective on that....nothing in baseball ever happens for the first time.
* Imagine someone striking out three batters. Then the catcher dropping the ball and the running running to first and making it there safely. Then the pitcher strikes out the next batter...giving the pitcher 4 strikeouts in one inning. Yeah, that's happened FOUR TIMES.
* Or imagine someone hitting a single, double, tripple, and home run in the same game...that happens like once every other year.
* DUDES...the ball bounced off of Conseco's head and out of the park for a home run once.

In any case, so this happens for the first time ever.

Then the weather is so bad that they have to postpone the game a second time !

Which pushes GAME 6, perhaps the last game of the series, into prime time...midweek....starting at the end of Obama's rented time.

I took my boy to a restaurant to watch the game. We had to go to two places before we got a table. I heard it was the same all over Central and Southeastern Pa.

Not only does Obama get this captive audience, but the two teams playing in the games don't end up being Los Angeles and Boston...but rather two key presidental swing states of Pennsylvania and Florida.

The dude is running hot.

P.S. John Daly...passed out....Hooters ! HAHAHAHAHHA !
