Off Topic: Obama to push back World Series start time

Leave your politics at the door.

According to ESPN.com, presidential hopeful Barack Obama will get the start time of Game 6 of the World Series pushed back.

Sen. Obama has apparently purchased a 30-minute time slot on the Fox Network on Oct. 29. If the World Series happens to go six games, the start time would be bumped back from 8:20 pm to 8:35 pm.

From ESPN:
"We are pleased that Major League Baseball has agreed to delay the first pitch of World Series Game 6 for a few minutes in order for Fox to carry his program on Oct. 29. If requested, the network would be willing to make similar time available to Senator McCain's campaign."
Pretty interesting, but I'd much rather watch baseball over politics any day of the week.
