Hi there. Welcome to June. Still trying to get settled in at our new location at 238 Bay Road right on the Queensbury/Glens Falls border. It's been almost a month, and the work continues. That picture is of the new CKM on air studio Lots of good stuff to talk about so lets get started.
First, have to go with Johan Santana last Friday night and his no-hitter against the Cards which was the first in Mets history. I only listened to bottom of the eighth and the last 3 outs. If it wasn't for a Facebook post saying Santana had something special going on, I probably wouldn't have tuned in at all. Like most Mets fans, you would have thought that a team with pitchers like Seaver, Koosman, Gooden, or name some more of the outstanding ones who have played for the Amazin's would have gotten that first one before Santana's gem. Here's the thing about Santana. He in that "great" pitcher category, not the "found lightning in a bottle and got lucky once" category. By the way, how many teams wish they could have the Mets one-two punch of Santana and R.A.Dickey starting at the top of the rotation?
Now lets talk Stanley Cup finals where the Kings are up 3 games to 1 on the Devils. The Kings are one, big, fast team and Jonathan Quick is an elite goaltender. You have to give the LA fans credit for being creative with the taunting of their opponent. In Game 3 they've got these big cardboard head things of the cast of "Jersey Shore." Game 4 sitting right behind the Devils bench was well endowed adult film star Taylor Stevens. You couldn't miss her presence at the game especially when the cameras did a close up shot of Peter DeBoer walking along the back of the bench.
Does Flyers GM Paul Holmgren get a Kings Stanley Cup ring? Considering that Daniel Briere, Mike Richards, and Jeff Carter are former Flyers who were acquired by Dean Lombardi this past year. He should get one and a winners bonus share as well.
I'm praying to the basketball gods that the Celtics beat the Heat so LeBron James isn't in the finals. I don't care who wins as long its not the Miami Heat.
Congratulations go out to Miley Cyrus and her fiance Liam Hemsworth. This will be so good. Vanessa Bayer has to do a SNL "Miley Cyrus Show" bridal shower sketch or even better yet have CMT pay Miley a boat load of cash and have a special edition of "My Big Celebrity Redneck Wedding!"
On to the home front, where the squirrels think the hummingbird feeder I put out is for them. Sorry Rocket J., not on your life. I'm very forgiving during the winter when you eat out the regular bird feeder, but leave the hummingbird food alone. They've already destroyed one and are trying to get after a second. You figure with those needle like beaks the hummingbirds would fight back against those furry invaders, but no they don't.
The garden is looking good except for the shedding of the white pine trees which means having to delicately rake the long needles around the plants and seedlings.
Then there is the water heater. Last December my bedroom became a kiddie pool when one burst on me. Fast forward six months and 2 Sundays ago I grab something from the shelf above the heater and I discover there's a slow leak. The good news was I haven't put in new carpet yet and the leak has not made it past the closet where its located.
One more thing before I end this entry and that is the Belmont Stakes on Saturday. My only advice or prediction is box an exacta or trifecta with 'I'll Have Another" and any other horses in the field. As a horse racing fan, of course I want to see a Triple Crown Winner. I'm just not that sure this time. The 1 1/2 mile distance is a totally different monster to try to handicap...Leccese out.
