    Here is a link to a better article on Space.com with a viewer's guide and timing for each stage of the eclipse (with local timezone info). Good for those of you who care about the eclipse but could give a rat's ass about baseball.

    Thanks for the link. Though it is kind of depressing. No solar elcipse for North America on the list at all.

    Wait, a different list says I will get one on August 1 2008. YAY!

    Ottawa will be in totality. Sky & Telescope have an article with a map of when it rises and sets.
