 NEW YORK (AP)—Major League Baseball has agreed to push back the start time of a potential World Series Game 6 by eight minutes to allow Democrat Barack Obama to purchase a half-hour of air time on the Fox network.

Baseball spokesman Pat Courtney said Thursday that the game time would now be set for 8:35 p.m.

The Obama presidential campaign said Oct. 9 that it had bought the 8-8:30 p.m slot on CBS and NBC.

"Fox will accommodate Senator Obama's desire to communicate with voters in this long-form format," network spokesman Lou D'Ermilio said in a statement. "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."

The World Series has not gone to a sixth game since 2003.

The decision was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

As Monkeys spokeswoman...."The Sox were just teasing the Rays, making them think they were going to the World Series, when in all actuality, the Sox are going to do exactly what they did last year."  :)))

Mix of both. They've been pitching well, but the Red Sox have been hitting like crap ever since they lost game 2. It took them until the 7th inning last night before they started hitting well as a team again. When Ortiz finally woke up, the rest of the team woke up. Go figure.  :)))
