Watching Mickey Callaway after the past two Met losses in Arizona made me think about Arnold Schwarzenegger playing Hamlet.
Schwarzenegger is an actor. Hamlet is a part. But not all actors were meant to play all roles. And not all managers have the emotional range to go from sunshine to darkness. On Saturday and Sunday, Callaway appeared an actor determining there are no other roles for him except tough guy running out of patience. And let’s just say I believed Sofia Coppola’s zombie Mary Corleone more than I did Mickey Grouse.
Callaway happy talked 77-85 in his first season — sometimes it felt like he was watching a different movie than the rest of us.
