Contest Winner:

Despite a bit of grumbling, mostly in good fun I think, I have declared Elizabeth R. Miller, related, the winner of two seats in any stadium she chooses for coming in first place in the MillersTime Baseball Contest #3.

Sox in the 2nd Half of the Season:

I was thinking that because of the closeness of the teams in the AL East and because Ellsbury, Crawford, & Pedroia were returning that the Sox were looking a bit stronger for the second half of the season. Plus, they won three of their first four games since the ASG.

But with Ortiz hurt and heading to the DL and the pitching still shaky, I’m beginning to wonder if I’m just dreaming. I don’t think all is lost just yet, but unless the Sox pitching stops giving up multiple runs in the early innings, it doesn’t look so good for the Beantown Boys.

What say you?

A Quick Read About an Current Baseball Dilemma:

I’ve Always Loved the Yankees. What If My Son Loves the Nationals?, Mitch Rubin, Washington Post, June 14, 2012.

If you missed this Father’s Day post by Rubin, check it out. I suspect he is not the only one facing this kind of difficulty (I’ve noticed that one of my daughters has, at various times, been cheering for the Mets, and now the Marlins).

Let me know if you have any advice.
