. >> backers like john berry.he con vansing coordinator for the tea party patriots. >> gary miller has held the line and done the things we need in order to get our financial house back in order. >> and you think we need a government shutdown? >> it is only being shutdown because obama wants to shut it down. because they have passed bill after bill, and obama has basically thrown a temper tantrum and said he won't negotiate. >> back at the coffee shop liz says he and her customers don't see it that way. i believe the election was some a referendum that the people wanted obamacare to go forward. and they are still two years later still kind of pissy about how the election turned out, i think most of our customers believe it is stupid, and makes them roll their eyes and makes them want to be even more disconnected. >> reporter: some may feel disconnected from washington now, but come november they'll have a chance to speak their minds at the voting booth. ♪ >>> i'm meteorologist dave warren, the hurricane hunter pla

john farrell. gomes the batter. and a check on berry. john lackey is still out for the red sox in their bull pen.up and throwing lightly out in the pen. >> joe: you wonder if lackey is working to potentially get in this game or if he is just getting work in. >> tim: i think he's working to come into the game. i think by bringing him in the game you get napoli a chance to hit down in the order, perhaps in the ninth inning. just a guess. >> joe: problem with that, you were the one that adam looked it up, the last relief appearance for john lackey back in 2004. >> tim: yeah, and pitching is more of a premium. i get your drift. you might be right. pitching is more of a premium now than finding a place for mike napoli. >> joe: i think napoli will go into this spot for berry who is running for ortiz. this pitch sails up and away. the count is 2-0. defense with pitching involved now at a premium down 2-1 up by two with tazawa in the game and uehara ready for more than an inning as john farrell is not scared to do that. he's the red sox closer. one on, two out. 2-0 the count. and now 3-0. on deck is xand

i'm sure john farrell is thinking about that anyway, they have got a two-run lead. put berry in there. berry with a stolen base last night and then napoli for defense. let's see. >> joe: he is not leaving. still in the game with one out. although ortiz, in talking to john farrell before game three, said he doesn't have the range of mike napoli but he's not a liability over at fifrst pace. >> tim: and he's not a slow runner either. he's lost a lot of weight. >> joe: he's on with one out here in the eighth and the batter is jonny gomes. strike one. runner at first, one out. 0-1 on gomes. strike two. david ortiz just became the first red sox player all time with back-to-back three-hit games in a world series. we said he's 11 out of 15 in this world series. he'd be 12 out of 15 if beltran didn't rob him of a home run. that was back in game one. a strikeout for the second out. >> tim: sweeping slider from martinez. little pedro. kind of unfair to pedro martinez in a sense, because he had such an illustrious career. i always thought a guy who had a career like pedro martinez, you d

john nolte. staggering. state exchange enrollments, mostly medicaid, not private insurance plans, this is another story, blackbart by dr. susan berry, defenders of president obama's signature health reform legislation claim the states that put effort into establishing their own exchanges most, mostly democrat-led are signing people up successfully for obamacare. a new report, however, indicates most of those individuals signing up in these state-run exchanges are ctually enrolling in medicaid. pretty disingenuous. and then just as you think you can't stand any more about the federal government, they're in your bedroom, your bathroom, your kitchen, all into your your life, will have medical records, be giving home to navigators who are not thoroughly vetted, they'll keep it secured, it'll be put online where people are saying it's a dream for hackers to steal personal information. just when you think you can't take anything more in the way story by , here's a - from the a.p. today by steven olmacher of the a.p., the headline, 700 i.r.s. contract workers owe $5.4 million in back taxes. kind of reminds us of the old secretary of the t

john from college station writes, no to obamacare. mike from hewitt writes, please hold the line against the affordable care act. do not give in. berry from pleugerville said, the affordable care act was passed in the middle of the night and without the support of the american people. i'm calling on you as one of your constituents to stop this legislation and defunding its implementation until the law can be repealed and replaced with legislation that benefits the citizens of the united states of america. you were elected in office to represent the values and needs of those of us who live in your state and your district. the passage of this legislation was something the lawmakers took when sworn into office and i hope you'll do the right thing now from stepping the bill being fully implement and have real reform based on free market principles and not by government interference. americans enjoy the best health care system in the world and this legislation harms the very people it is intended to help. marlin from college station writes, i hope you can repeal this plan that is a disaster to employers, employees and our health care syst
