Wiffle Ball Challenge
Forget about health care and education for a moment; the race to replace Congressman Marty has taken on a new dimension–superiority in plastic athletics. Another campaign, to remain nameless, has challenged ours to a game of no-run wiffle ball, which is to say that no base-running will be involved. Though details have yet to be finalized and the format and rules have yet to be agreed upon, we can all embrace the idea that this contest could determine the 5th District’s next congressman.
While the remaining campaigns are still awaiting invitation, ours is eager to demonstrate our wiffling prowess. Despite the fear that our esteemed Constitution party colleague may deregulate our game–take out the balls, the strikes, the umpires, the bases, the costly outfield and the “big brother” bleachers–we have decided to invite everyone, but have not yet found directions for those candidates who live outside the 5th. Then again, who knows? Maybe my ball lands in Framingham or Brockton anyway. It all depends in which direction right-center is pointing.
Will post again when our date and location can be confirmed.

After hearing Tierney’s comment during last night’s debate on the need for parties in our political system (”shirts and skins” as he called it), I wish to clarify for the purpose of this tournament that any campaigns showing up as “skins”– particularly those showcased last night–will not be permitted to participate.

Is this tournament to be held on Aug 29th?

Sorry for replying so late, just getting back from work. Yes, at 8:00PM on Alumni Field, the wiffle ball tournament will be held between the four campaigns who have accepted the challenge: Eldridge, Tsongas, Donoghue and of course, Murphy.
