Honestly, It’s Not That Easy to Kiss Off T.J.

I feel sorry for Mrs. T.J. Simers. Her husband has announced that he has never kissed her after a Dodger home run [Aug. 25]. One must assume that in this declaration, old T.J. is telling us he never kisses his wife while out in the light of day. That’s too bad.

If Al Gore is safe laying his lips on Tipper in Los Angeles on national television, surely Mr. Simers can come out of his closet and kiss Mrs. Simers somewhere in view of the public’s eye.

T.J. Simers, get a life. I’ve been a Dodger fan ever since I attended my first game at the Coliseum during the 1959 World Series. Sure the Dodgers have drastically underachieved. I’m just as disappointed with the Dodgers during the last 10 years as anyone. But can’t you apply your breathtaking writing skills on other sporting events? Your “Dodgertribes” have become so predictable, monotonous and, well, ho-hum.
