This isn't exactly Eagles related, but we've got a bye week coming up so... why not get off topic a bit?
Tonight philly sports fans will be faced with a choice. Game 5 of the NLDS in which the Phillies have a chance to advance to their first world series in 15 years is on head to head with the 3rd and final presidential debate.
Sports vs politics.
Watch the Phils possibly clinch the pennant or possibly decide the future of the country?
For me, it's the Phils. I watched the first debate, I watched the second debate... and they were more or less the same. I doubt the third one will play out much different than the first two... but the Phils? Who knows what will happen there?!
Still, no one can argue that choosing the next president isn't more important that a baseball game overall. So what do you guys say?

er...
I did.
My vote might be different if the Dodgers were the Rockies, but I care more about the election than I do about the NLCS.
It is baseball after all – not like the Eagles are playing…

I don’t like that you are a Rockies fan … but I won’t let it come in between our online friendship.

I'm not much of a rockies fan either...
I just don’t really like baseball enough to follow it like some of my friends do.
It’s a game that really plays well on radio and at the stadium…
I actually went to game 3 of the NLDS last year and watched the Rox 3-hit the Phils.
Tremendous atmosphere, and I thought that might lead to good stuff this year, but we were treated to another mediocre season…
Football however – I’m ok with mediocre seasons because the game is so interesting even when the team is bad…

At what time is the debate? And the game? I haven’t really been able to get interested in Baseball until now, but I’m rooting for the Phils bigtime. And I’m starting to get into it more and more, I’m watching the replay of tie Sox/Rays from yesterday right now. I have to admit that I find baseball a bit boring. Now, I love cricket, so I’m not one of those people that flat out dismisses a game as boring. But Baseball isn’t as easy to get into as Football. That being said, I’m trying :) Could someone give me the times please? Will I be able to watch the debate on CNN here?

Summary of Debate:
Obama links McCain to Bush.

since i’m still in college, i did early voting yesterday since i was back at school today, so now there is not too much of a point in watching the debate for me. plus, living in illinois, i could vote for obama and it’d be like peeing in the ocean, or i could vote for mccain and it would have about zero impact. i’ll be watching the phillies
