I guess I must now admit...

...that the ChiSox are for real. Two weeks into June, they're 42-20 -- 22 games above .500. My Sox? A woeful 33-29, 3 games above .500. Two pieces of good news, though. First, my BoSox are only 3 games out of first in the AL East. Second, the future is bright. I had the opportunity to attend a AA baseball game in Bowie, MD, Saturday night, beween the Bowie Baysox (Orioles) and the Portland Sea Dogs (Red Sox). Some of the Red Sox' brightest prospects are on the Sea Dogs. This includes pitcher Jon Papelbon, a fireballer who threw 8 innings of 2-hit shutout ball -- and when he left at the end of the 8th, he was still throwing 94-95 mph. Sweet!
