Don't Major League Players Get a Sizeable Daily Meal Allowance?

He's young, rich, good looking, and a budding superstar. But David Wright misses his old pal Joe McEwing who was recently released by the Mets. Four or five times a week, Wright would go over to McEwing's place for some home cooked grub whipped up by Super Joe's wife.

Now that Joe is gone, Wright doesn't know what he's going to do! Chris Woodward has offered to have him over for dinner. and Doug Mientkiewicz has taken up the daily greeting of "Morning, Sunshine," to the impressionable young third baseman.

But what is Wright going to do on a daily basis for food?

"The hardest part about it is not actually cooking for yourself. It's cleaning up afterward," Wright said. "That's something that I'm not a big fan of. I like to just eat. I'd always give Joey the token offer of doing the dishes. I'd know Julia would say no, so I would ask anyway. She would always do the dishes.

"It's not so much the actual cooking. It's the actual cleaning up afterward."

A man after my own heart! Although I don't like cooking either.
