For the madness to all be ended . Its starting to feel like ground hog day out here. We are getting on past 10 00 right now and you can look over my shoulder and see the Union Officials standing in the lobby now and just making their way out. They may actually be making their way out here in a short time to let us know whether there will be a bart strike. They told us that they would be letting us know by 10 00 this evening. That is specifically because their offices have been flooded with calls from commuters who have been upset over the last few days that they had to wait until the Early Morning hours before being notified about whether there will be a strike. Again, we have been told that we will hear, we are still waiting. Union officials inside right now and seem to be making their way out. Again, there doesnt seem to be a real sense of urgency. Its tough to read what that could mean for a possible strike. For the past few days, there continues to be progress and that is what aver
Are heading back to work and barricades around washington memorials are coming down. Just after midnight, president obama signed into law the bill that ends the 16day Government Shutdown and raises the nations debt limit to avoid a default. Theres a lot of work ahead of us including our need to earn back the trust of the American People thats been lost over the last few weeks. Reporter the plan from Senate Leaders passed easily in the senate. Shutting down the government was not a smart strategy and not the right direction and i hope we never do this again.

Nobody thinks its going to be easy to get to a deal. But i will tell you i would not have fought so hard fo
Night. Ortiz has only the one hit. In this alcs. 1 out of 14. 0 for 4 tonight. Ball one. Red sox are 2 for 15 with runners in scoring position here tonight. Theyve stranded nine. The 10. Good swing by ortiz. Maybe his best of the night. But he fouled it away. One ball, one strike. Tim knowing he was going to get the fastball, he got it, fouled it back. Back to the splitter for benoit, i would think. Nope, fastball. Benoit striking out victorino and pedroia with splitters. But a twoseam fastball puts ortiz in the hole. Joe he could strike out the side, benoit, and end this ni t night. Tim again, that would be huge for his confidence. Thats not overstating it, either. Joe ball two. Matchup of jon lester and Anibal Sanchez tomorrow night. If the tigers win here tonight, it guarantees this series at least six games. And a trip back to fenway park. On saturday. Full count. Tim even if its david ortiz at the plate, you still cant walk him. Joe 21st pitch of the inning coming from benoit. In
