I will be flipping back and forth between the debate and the Sox game - far more Sox game than debate as I've had about enough of that. You would think I would've had enough Red Sox as well. I can't explain that.

Update: The Red Sox are sucking so hard I am being forced to watch John Kerry speak. I'm very impressed from the little bits I see (with Bush, that is). President Bush seems to be doing extremely well. I can't wait to read the blogs later so I can find out what I think! (Ooh. John Kerry just said "Lesbian." Can he do that? And on a serious note, why did he do that? What's the point of saying that? It doesn't sound like a proper thing to bring up. [Update: The Fox guys are remarking on this post debate. One guy says the press room groaned at that point. I agree. I thought it was bizarre and classless. He was clearly looking for the chance to get that fact in and it was clearly gratuitous. What was Kerry thinking?) Have I not noticed it before? The left side of the President's face appears to be drooping.

How is it that the Sox always seem to find a way to make these chump pitchers look like mutherf^%$*ing Cy Young? They need to keep asking Al Leiter questions. He's got some interesting insight when pressed, but left on his own he has nothing interesting to add. Similar to Tony Gwynn during the divisional series who also had nothing interesting to stay. They need to stop just hiring good players, and make sure they're players who are also good announcers like Jerry Remy - no Hall of Famer, but an excellent color man. This is the Joe Morgan phenomenon. Morgan was a great player, but he has to be the most overrated color man on the planet. The guy's a horror show.

Hey, I'm tellin' ya. The President has it together tonight. They said Bush was supposed to do better in the first debate over foreign policy, and this one he's supposed be in trouble as the focus is domestic. I think it's turned out to be just the opposite. Whoa! Kerry just mentioned blackmail! Oh wait...black males...never mind.

Gah...the President just got the line I've been wanting him to get in, but he muffed it..."John McCain isferme"...both men are funny and self-deprecating talking about their wives...

Manny Ortiz just got a hit! (That's a paraphrase of Kerry, BTW)

I think President Bush once again was the only one to remember to actually ask for the people's vote - or did I miss that from Kerry? Bush did a great job tonight. I think he had Kerry back on his heels tonight and kept on him. Great job. Too bad the ratings tonight will probably be the lowest of the three.

The Red Sox are so annoying. Glad Bush did well. At least they're not getting shut out, and Pedro had a decent game. Keith Foulke, throw a strike! There you go...

Feh. I'm done with these guys.
