THE WIFE GETS HER SAY

So as you may guess from the title here, this is John's wife writing in his place today. You see, our phone line is down again and isn't getting fixed until Saturday. Since our DirecTV also goes through the phone line, that means that John can't watch the Mets for the week. Boo hoo. Also means that the House Sponsored by DirecTV is now looking for a telephone company sub-sponsor to replace Verizon, since they're not living up to their end of the agreement. RCN, perhaps? We'll have to see if they present us with a good deal.

I was looking forward to answering today's mail bag, but there's nothing there. So please write in! This week is the only week that John will actually let me write the blog. Dave from Brighton - want to discuss the Sox? I'm all ears! Kevin from the Southern Bureau - let's talk Pedro* and Beltran and David Wright!

OK - two quick notes before I sign off for the day:

1) The Mets won the last two games, and John saw neither of them. Maybe it's a good thing for the team that our phone line is down.

2) Best two moments from the Sox ring ceremony yesterday (yes, I have to discuss the Sox, it's my only chance): Tedy Bruschi throwing out one of the first pitches and Mariano Rivera getting a standing O from the Fenway crowd. Rivera was very classy in the way he laughed with the crowd and tipped his hat. Dare I say, I actually like him? Man, this curse being gone has done strange things to me.

OK - that's it for the day. Send in your mail. We'll have some fun with it. John will be back after this weekend.
