Miscellaneous Thoughts

Some observations while having my moring coffee...

The NY Giants drafted Chris Snee from Boston College with the second pick of the second round (#34 overall). Snee was a highly rated offensive lineman and nothing seemed unusual until at a press conference Giants coach Tom Coughlin revealed that Snee is also the father of his daughter's child and that the two are obviously not married. I'm trying to decide if this is more of a Sonny Corleone or Michael Corleone move by Coughlin... The Red Sox are in first place in the AL East and they haven't even come close to hitting to their potential yet. As a team - the Red Sox are hitting .257 - that's about 35 points below where they should end up. That should be scary to the rest of the AL East... You know technically - I don't think Tarzan and Jane were ever married either. In real life I think Boy would have been a first rounder.... In the book The Godfather - the character of Johnny Fontaine was a much bigger character than in the movie... Some Boston writers have fallen into the trap of referring to Corey Dillion as a "troubled" running back. What are his troubles? That he didn't want to play for the Bengals? Wouldn't that make him "intelligent" running back Corey Dillion? Is he "troubled" because of domestic issues? If that's the case then how come we never read about "troubled" Atlanta manager Bobby Cox?... Carlos Beltran, Jermaine Dye and Jorge Posada are leading the AL in HR with 7 each. The HR title in the AL is completely up for grabs this year (A-Rod will most definately not repeat)... The Red Sox relievers have been awesome and many people have noted that they haven't allowed a run in almost 23 innings but did you realize that neither Allan Embree (5) nor Keith Foulke (4) has allowed an inherited runner to score this year?...
