Uh Oh



I hate it when I'm right..it happens so infrequently but here's a little tidbit from my last blog entry in late March:

"But if the Mets start slow this spring, Willie Randolph could be in serious trouble."

I would consider 22-23 a slow start. Especially on the heels of a four game sweep by the hated Braves in Atlanta. Now it's off to Colorado where the Mets got crushed last year. Willie's in trouble, he might not make it back to New York on Monday. I really like Willie Randolph but the team is not responding..this is a team that was supposed to run away with the NL East after getting Johan Santana...trouble is Santana got beat last night..But we haven't reached Memorial Day yet so there's still a lot of time left...just not for Willie Randolph.

Couple of other items...the Stanley Cup Playoffs start Saturday night. The NHL is hoping for a long series, to showcase Sidney Crosby the non-hockey fan. I've got news for the NHL, the non-hockey fan isn't watching the Stanley Cup Finals, because they can't find the Stanley Cup Finals! Until the NHL and ESPN kiss and make up the league won't even make it back to it's pre-lockout status, which wasn't very high, but at least some people were watching. Keep your fingers crossed that it's a fantastic series.

Lastly, saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night.Without spoiling it, it was very good...not great...but very good. I'm still in shock that they actually went back and did a 4th Indy, Harrison Ford can still pull it off. The question I have is not counting Star Wars, Indiana Jones or the Jack Ryan movies, what other movies is Harrison Ford good in? Till next time!


Addendum:
To the Harrison Ford item...The Fugitive and Witness
