Home Run Derby

Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate Joe Biden owes the Tampa Bay Rays a dollar.

Obama’s running mate, Joe Biden, got an early start Wednesday. He was at a morning rally in Tampa, where the Major League Baseball playoffs are all the rage. Biden said Obama wished he was in Florida, too.

“But after what your Devil Rays did to the Chicago White Sox, he just couldn’t do it,” Biden said. “The man is hurting.”

That’s a no-no in Ray-land, where the team fines people $1 every time they use the old namesake.
