Talk about a crazy 48 hours and other observations

Hi There. Lets see in the past 2 days the Mets manager got canned along with 2 coaches. Tiger Woods has major knee surgery and is done for the golf season, and if anyone cares the Celtics beat the Lakers by nearly 40 points last night to win the best of 7 series in 6 games to claim the NBA title. I think the carousel is going a little too fast. I better get off before motion sickness takes over and I have to...well you get the idea. First the Mets. Did someone spike the water in Flushing? Talk about no class. Did Willie Randolph deserve to be fired? No he didn't. Despite the injuries to Moises Alou and Ryan Church, the mediocre play for the first 70 games of the year; and the lack of a true team leader. Unfortunately some one had to take the fall and sadly it was Willie Randolph. It didn't help that the team also blew a 7 game lead in the final two weeks of last season causing them to lose the division and wild card spot. Don't cry for Willie though. He's always been winner, a class act and a gentlemen so he'll get another shot. There's still plenty of blame left to go around so if you think Omar Minaya and Tony Bernazard are breathing any easier...Wrong! With the economy in a downward cycle and plenty of unhappy fans, Fred Wilpon knows he has to do something to regain their confidence so they'll show up at CitiField. Sorry, but the "guru" and I use the term loosely Rick Peterson had to go. For all his progress with John Maine and Oliver Perez, he messed with Aaron Heilmann's delivery early in his career and I'll always blame him for the Scott Kazmir to the Rays for Victor Zambrano trade. Stud left handed pitchers don't grow on trees you know. His crazy obsession with pitch counts and his psycho b.s. A rhesus monkey could do a better job as pitching coach. The Mets should have canned him last year especially with Mel Stottlemyre and Leo Mazzone available. So what's next? I have no clue. I do know that the Mets should go with new blood to manage them next year, someone like the Royals Trey Hillman. Don't bring back Bobby V, Lee Mazzilli or some other manager with previous experience. On to Yankees for a minute. Hank Steinbrenner please shut up! Telling the National League they should adopt the DH and join the 21st Century because your best pitcher had to bat and run the bases. Injuries are a part of the game. If you're so adamant about abandoning tradition, let's see names on the back of the sacred pinstripes. Sorry Hank, I can't hear you. That's what I thought. The baseball gods were not happy Monday afternoon in Cooperstown. If you didn't know, the Cubs and Padres were set to play in the last Hall of Fame Game at Doubleday Field, but the heavens opened up and everything got called off. Somebody tell Bud Selig to re-instate it. It's good for baseball, good for the fans and the players actually like it although it's an inconvenience for them. I had the opportunity to broadcast the Hall of Fame Game for 2 years on WWSC and it was awesome! They hold a parade through the town. The kids get the day off from school. Plus there's a home run derby before the actual game. Getting to see David Ortiz and Ken Griffey, Jr. up close was so cool. My favorite moment came when Brian and I were hunting for souvenirs in this store, and a sign says, "Welcome Bronson Arroyo and David Wells." We turn around and guess who followed us in. Finally I'm trying to choose which movie to see Friday night. Either "Get Smart" starring Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway or "Love Guru" with Mike Myers and Jessica Alba. If you have any suggestions on which way I should go, let me know...Leccese out.
