Exciting day today for the family. We bought the 'ESPN The Magazine' with the picture of David Wright on the cover. We also got our first look at the baby in an ultrasound. Maybe someday soon I'll post that picture on this site. I'll probably also try to post the picture of the baby.

The Mets beat the Indians, 6-3. Cliff Floyd hit a homer, and Tom Glavine pitched three innings of one-run ball. The game was on ESPN, but I forgot to set the TiVo. Hope there wasn't anything important said that I missed.

PUCKETT: Sadly, Kirby Puckett died today at age 44. He was forced to retire early from baseball because of blindness in his eye, after contracting glaucoma, and then he put on lots of weight, and suffered a stroke yesterday. Puckett is, apparently, still a god in Minnesota...but I think outside of Minnesota he will be remembered for two things: His role in the 1991 World Series, and the accusations of sexual harrassment against him a few years ago (he was cleared). Sadly, I think that's what he'll be remembered for - not that he was a Hall of Famer.

BABY NAMES: The Wife compiled this list and sent it to the mailbag - seems fitting to publish it on the day we got our ultrasound picture. (Keep in mind the Wife roots for the Red Sox, in addition to the Mets...as well as the Patriots):

Shea
Carter
Pedro
Mookie
Chad
Becht
Theo
Manny
Curt
Beckett
Brady
Buckner
Wally
Remy
Cosmo
Omar

Our consensus favorite: Mookie.
