Call in from fiannaharpar

I just got off the phone with my wife- She's in Sommerset, PA, still about an hour away from Pgh. after going to the BPAL Will Call in Hershey. She's doing just fine, just delayed more than she wants for reasons beyond her control. She had a great time, and I'm still waiting to hear the stories.

Rare sports post

I am quite psyched that Craig Biggio got his 3000th hit, in fitting fashion, at Houston, and I find it a tribute to him as a player that he tried to stretch that hit into a double, even though he was thrown out. I've been a Biggio-Bagwell fan for as long as they both suited up together, and with Bagwell retired I just love to watch Biggio continue to play like he did 20 years ago. Hell, the man still looks as boyish now as he did then.

I know the Astros suck right now (Pirates fans, be glad y'all are at least better than us), but having Craig still playing is uplifting. It's not a definite that Bagwell will make it into the Hall of Fame, but few are doubting Biggio won't be a first ballot shoe-in. And the great thing is that this isn't guaranteed to be his last season playing. Man, if I had the dough, I'd get his jersey.
