'07, it was terrific. this is different in a unique way. it's who are about t e's more a won the championship than the championship itself. the team is representative of the concept of resilience. . and represents the inner game of baseball as related to life. if you succeed three out of ten times in baseball, you're going to cooperstown. a lot of these guys aren't big star, but they worked hard every day. they had to are a when they flew back overnight from st. louis. and that's how they won, by being resilient. >> take about tlk about the mar bombing. it resonated throughout the country. to what degree did the team get caught up in the sentiment

get a shot of barnicle. >> did i take a shot of barnicle? i'll have to watch it back to see. it didn't rain too much near new england. new england is looking good this weekend. as far as the midatlantic goes, different story. we are getting drenched. harrisburg, pennsylvania, four inches of rain yesterday. and it's still pouring from philadelphia down to the southern tip of jersey and delaware. that's where the rain band has set up and that's where it will be much of the day. from trenton northward, don't expect a lot of rain. south of there, philly got hit with heavy rain. d.c. on the southern end of this with more showery-type weather. the baltimore area, to philly, wilmington, delaware, harrisburg, more heavy rain today and more airport delays. how does the weekend forecast shape up? southeast, by the way, is looking gorgeous. three beautiful days in a row. the middle of the country, a little more interesting. we got some thunderstorms today going through kansas city and minneapolis with a cold front. finally temperatures where they shoul

although barnicle is saying it took him how long?for about ten minutes before it bumped me to the enrollment page. once i got on the page, it went very smoothly even for someone as illiterate as i am on the computer. it was very easy. >> you're not illiterate. >> the david, how is it going? >> here's what we know after 72 hours, we've had over 7 million unique visitors, including mike barnicle come through. it is a volume that no one, no one anticipated. just for perspective is, southwest airlines in an entire month has 6.4 million unique visitors. nbc in an entire month has 12 million. we had 7 million. so the overwhelming volume has really caused us to more servers, more engineers, tackle the problem. identify the issues, fix them so today is going to be better than yesterday was, and you know, here's another piece of this. we've essentially done 1.5% of the enrollment period. we've got another 178 days left to go. so i feel pretty good about where we are. >> gene? >> david, when are you going to have some numbers about how many pe

i've never, mike barnicle, seen anything like it in washington, d.c.ot talking to the administration. you know, the president of the united states not reaching out to members of his own party on capitol hill. the only person that seems to me is talking is joe biden. >> the vice president is talking, but the vice president has strangely been exclulded from any negotiations this time around. unlike two years ago when he was talking with mitch mcconnell, he's not doing that now. i mean, the level of estrangement this time is beyond anyone's belief. and the house is virtually leaderless, although the speaker of the house is known to be someone who makes a deal, who wants to make a deal. and yet it's virtually not there because of a handful of republicans. gene, i don't know about you, but just in talking to people, the level of isolation from reality, the small group of republicans seem to have and the death grip they seem to have on john boehner's speakership is really striking. >> it is. and i can't recall an antecedent. i don't know this has happened be

barn ck barnicle was in grade school. >> i got his autograph. >> he's the only pitcher to pitch higherinth in the world series -- hit higher than ninth. game played in front of 15,000 fans. an hour and 42 minutes. >> wouldn't that be great. >> we're expecting more than 38,000 tonight and by the way, in 2013, games have averaged three hours 22 minutes. a couple other good ones for you. 1918, u.s. population, 103 million. obviously about 314 million today. also, the first year of daylight savings time was in 1918. >> look at you. >> we had a crack research team on this. >> i had to set my pocket watch. >> right. all right. this game tonight turned into the priciest ticket in the city's history. espn reports the average list price for a ticket for tonight's game more than 18 -- this is interesting stuff. can someone cut his mike? the average list price, 1800 bucks. bleacher seat going for 300 a week ago, now $1100. how about the best seats in the house, a pair up front for 24 grand. >> i might change my mind. might want to hit up stub cup. >> it's a mid-sized sedan. so that is the twitter

mike barnicle tweeting i'm sitting in my seat and feel winter approaching. very ominous, right.he eighth. the red sox load the bases and with two outs david ortiz comes to the plate. look at this. >> bases loaded. two outs. hard hit into right. back at the wall. tie game! big papi. the grand slam. >> you guys are going walk in. poor bill karins doesn't have his mike turned on. it's ortiz's 15th postseason home run tying him for babe ruth on the all time list. the fans in fenway are going wild. that home run goes over the fence, the bull pen cop celebrating. his legs go right up but so does the cop with his hands in the air and they complete it after a base runner is put on third. sa saltamaccia. dodgers find themselves down two games to none and the cardinals. if that wasn't enough for boston, we go to the finish at the pats/saints game. we skip straight to the fourth with less than four to play, drew brees lays it up. touchdown. saints go up 4 but still time for tom brady to work his magic. no time-outs. brady puts new england in position for this one. >> got him on the right w

. >> except for barnicle still on the website trying to sign up. i have been trying to think of it as an analogy here, what has been like this and the potential long-term impact and stipulating that these are imprecise, this is in a way the progressive equivalent of declareing catch up of vegetable. the website problems have the potential for a generation to be used as an argument against government-run programs and it may not be fair. but this is like a $600 toilet seat in the pentagon. it's like the catch-up is a vegetable. it's going to be used for years and years and the difference, fairly right, no, no, you can't make a face on that one, no eyebrow, because this is a problem. >> hold ozbln this is a problem, this is a self-inflicted wound for people who believe in the public sector and it just is. you disagree with that? >> no. >> they rushed this. they shouldn't have rushed it and, you know, david ignacious earlier this woke had a greater insight. he said, you know, this was an overreach politically. it was. the democrats shoved this through.

mark barnicle and mark halperin are here with us. talk about. where is that number?'s fair to say inside the cancer community, we've been talking about this mo more than a decade, i've been chastising about it for a long time, as have many others. i think we need to distinguish several different flavors of this, joe. first there are drugs that are expensive but really work and are home runs. glevak is a drug for chronic leukemia. it really has been a game changer. it costs a lot of money, but it has really extended life. i think the problem is that there's another class of drugs that on average extends like 10, 20, 30, 40 days and costs $100,000 or $200,000 a year to get. that does seem, to many people, unreasonable. the big problem is doctors have continued to prescribe those drugs, and patients have continued to ask for them. i think often not understanding that they don't cure anyone, they don't prolong life a very long time, you know, a month, six weeks. that's the dilemma, and when the country says we agree, it's not worth hundreds of thousands for four weeks, t

. >> how does barnicle have a way -- >> millions of americans visited the new online health exchanges as enrollment opened on tuesday suggesting a broad national appetite for the affordable coverage that president obama promised with his health care law. >> that's a reach. they had to have reached to talk for two minutes about the small impact. >> i bet. we are talking about how we don't have common conversations, we don't agree on common facts. >> yeah. >> that's been versus what certain cable networks are saying about this mechanical failure means, exhibit a. >> yeah, but do you think, john meacham, the millions of poem who locked on were people like barnicle checking it out? >> no, i don't think so at all. if are you a democrat, you care about making the government work, which is the guiding impetus of the movement that broke the republican majority in 1992. you make sure the website works. >> you know, the dole, mika and i, of course, we talk to a lot of members of congress, we talk to leadership if congress. we talk to people over at the white house, we talked to some people last

mike barnicle just -- barnacle was there last night. how do you do that, mike?d midnight. >> midnight, 1:00. a phenomenon called friends. another incredible game last night, incredible series. i can't believe we took 2 out of 3 in st. louis, mike. >> it's amazing. st. louis is a very good club. the clubs are evenly matched. glad to get out of there with 2 out of 3, go back to fenway park wednesday night for game six and see what happens because i don't think anyone can predict what will happen. >> it's going to be electric. a heck of a series. >> i forgot for a minute last night that in 2004 and 2007 they won the world series on the road. so this actually, if they can win one more game, would be the first at fenway since 1918. >> it would be the second time that i was there. >> boy, 1918. that was something. those cubbies just wouldn't go away. >> wouldn't quit. >> we also have in washington pliltser prize-winning columnist and associate editor of "the washington post," also msnbc political analyst eugene robinson, senior political editor and white house corresp

important was this series victory to restoring hope and a sense of confidence and resilience as mike barnicle was saying this morning. >> the first game of the season, if i remembered right, was at the very end of that terrible week after the marathon bombing. to have the team have such an incredible season, such a turnaround from last season. to sum nature this way is affirming. really exciting. a parade in the next day or two. you'll see that boston strong spirit out and visible and strong when that comes. >> now, i want to get to the subject, the president's visit. you were with the president yesterday. >> yes. >> how frustrated is he about this? how much responsibility did he personally take for launching this major political initiative, legacy initiative and not having foggup at the white house or cabinet level to make sure it was pretested and ready to go? >> i think he's very frustrated. in fact, there was a lot of checking in as the process was rolled out. i'm quite serious, they will get fixed. meanwhile people can sign up for new coverage by paper, the old-fashioned way over the pho

you've turned into mike barnicle. >> it was funny how every member of congress suddenly became an i.tho constructed this website. >> i don't think you can compare the affordable care act to flowers.com or whatever. come on. >> no, listen. i think the focus was sort of misplaced yesterday. they looked at this anonymous shopping. they looked at hippa regulations. the real problem, as i understand it, from reading reports is what's happening with information on the bag eck end. when you enter all your data, you tell them where you live, it should punch out basic information. that should go to insurers and insurers should have that. and the problem is they're not getting the right information. until you fix that, nothing else matters. they could have as many people sign up as seamlessly as possible. but if the data they're producing is bad, then that's not good. >> let's see if this argument works. some might disagree. but the rollout of the obama care website isn't the first time a major program has had problems being implemented. for example, medicare part "d," right? while republicans

back with us on set, we have nicole wallace, mike barnicle, and in washington eugene robinson. >> eugenepresident of the united states and you can call anybody, right? i mean, nixon even called elvis, got him over to the white house. >> okay. >> i'm serious. this is how leaders think. let's see, i'm doing this. >> anything is possible. with your help. >> leaders are usually dressed before they get to work. >> you can call anybody and you call bezos. listen, i see that you can actually run america now from your app on my iphone. >> right. >> i can buy anything i want in america. can you make it so people can sign up? >> right. >> but the floppy disk thing, you give me 35 floppy disk, i have those, right, and eni have the eight-set, you know, dvd set of "the bible." the miniseries. i have it all right there. i just say lei it out. right? maybe if i had some slim whitmans on. >> okay. >> the president was pitching yesterday. he was giving out the 800 number, doing the whole thing. buy the full set. >> he gives out the 800 number. >> stop it. >> they call. >> we're getting there. >> they can
