one of my greatest memories in life is when mike barnicle was live tweeting. it was riveting, unbelievable. >> good times. >> are you going to do the same at 3:07 for the red sox? >> i'll be tweeting. >> your best and most creative at waytoometa. supposed to be a pitchers dual. only one showed up. highlights from the baseball postseason. is the debate on capitol hill getting you down? we have a moment that sums it up perfectly. >>> a lot of weather out there when we come back. >>> janice joplin, the pop singer who took three years to get to the top was found dead yesterday in her hollywood apartment. fresh needle marks in her arm. she died of an overdose of drugs. ♪ [ male announcer ] may your lights always be green.

i want to bring in mike barnicle.ston. >> yeah. >> let's just start with i guess you were in st. louis in '04. colorado in '07. >> yes. >> and you weren't here in 1918 despite what we joke about all the time. >> i had school that day. >> how does this world series sort of -- put it in perspective in the backdrop of the other two wins. >> it's not comparable to '04 certainly. '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

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

>> so, you know, mike barnicle is a good validation point any day.re going to do. we're going to spend the next few weeks accumulating data, probably do monthly reports like we do with other programs, you know, with medicaid, medicare, and others and then use that time also. i think this is an important piece, especially for me. to learn what's working in some places and what isn't in other places. and use the data to really drive our response, not only in terms of the experience for folks, but the on the ground activity so we can learn from this initial stage. >> mike barnicle. >> david, in terms of the server when you're bumped to a spec state that has their own setup, has that caused a snag or any mechanical difficulties there? >> so look, this is, as you saw, mike, this is a three-step process. where the holdup has been has been at the initial sage when people try to create the account. once you create the account, as you saw, you go into the application and the plan compare and it's easy, and it's intuitive and makes a lot of sense. so what we'r

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

we had donny deutsche, playing the role of done fideutsche this year mike barnicle. four years, willie. >> i feel like barnicle earned it, though. he sat in that ballpark 100 years. >> we helped him build it back in 1912. >> the first pitches in the 1918 world. >> the sale of babe ruth. the whole thing. so let's talk about the series, guys. first of all the story, the red sox were dreadful last 84. the last placed team. what did they do? >> ben careerry dade good job bringing in johnny gomes, victorir no, john ferrell what is the big guy. he comes in, john lester comes back. bucchholz, next thing you know, her to stats established. they come out, played good baseball, played hard. >> the manager makes that much of a difference, al? >> i think the continuity from ownership, realizing the mess from a couple years ago, not to rehash bore, chicken, games the reality is i think this is introduce for the baseball. i don't know if you feel this way. when you have established veteran players that have guaranteed contracts that make a lot of money, it's easy to, especially wh

. >> mike barnicle, kind of sounds like "logan's run."of people will say is 00,000 in four weeks? we'll take it. >> of course -- >> we'll take it, but they're not paying. >> who is pays the $100,000? zeke, the cost per pill, per medication, doctors' involvement in the costs and doctors getting paid for things, how does that work? and how do you change it if it's a negative factor in care? >> well, it's a very negative factor, and one of deep dark secrets is the way medicare pace. doctors make more money by -- oncologists making more money by prescribing more expensive therapy. that's a tragedy. medicare pays doctors the cost of the drug plus 6%. if you have a more expensive drug, that 6% is worth more money. many of us have argued against this and wanted medicare to change that policy. i do think changing that payment policy is a critical necessary step to changing the conversation. one of the things we know, mike and joe, is a lot of patients don't understand that the average amount of time they'll get from these drugs is just weeks, it

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

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
