Flotsam and Jetsam

 Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

So how long will it be before the Red Sox announce they are bringing Alex Cora back as their manager? Is his 1-year suspension up after the regular season or after the World Series?... Congrats to Mike Leach on his first victory as coach of Mississippi State. I have a soft spot for Leach and if you like sports books his Swing Your Sword (written with Bruce Feldman) is one of the better ones out there... So Jeff Samardzija was released by the Giants. The 35 (soon to be 36) year old Samardzija still wants to pitch but he may find few takers. The former Notre Dame receiving sensation made the right choice choosing baseball as he's made over $122 million in his career. Potential Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson who was the second overall pick of the 2007 NFL Draft made just over $113 million in his career and Samardzijo was no Megatron... "If we would just slow down, happiness would catch up to us." - Dr. Richard Carlson. Sunday's are good days for slowing things down... Go Pats!!!...
