When my husband and I first got married, our favorite box at Christmas was the box from his grandmother. It was filled with her home-canned jars of pickles, popcorn balls, cookies, and strawberry jam.
As I progressed in my canning, I made my own batch of strawberry jam. I knew this was the most coveted by my husband, and the few jars we got from his grandmother didn't last us all year. Knowing we could easily eat two full batches of a jam in a year, I decided to save time and make one large batch with all the berries.
I followed the instructions step by step. Eager, I stirred the pot, waiting for the glorious moment when it began to set and jell.
It didn't. I let it simmer longer. And longer.
Maybe it jells after you can it and it cools down, I thought. I ladled my sweet-smelling mixture into my jars, wiped the rims clean, and screwed the rings down over the lids. Onto the rack and submerged into the water bath they went. The processing time ticked by on the clock.
I pulled the gorgeous ruby-filled jars out and set them on a towel to cool. Unable to wait the full 24 hours you're supposed to before touching them (you can disturb the sealing process), I opened one of the jars.
Taste test. Perfect. Lick-your-spoon-in-danger-of-eating-the-entire-jar good.
Except one little thing. It was runny.
I'd successfully canned over eight pints of strawberry syrup.
With my jam-making skills in serious humble mode, I asked his grandmother if I could come down for a lesson. She eagerly agreed.
Lesson number one in jam-making: You can make only one batch at a time when using regular store-bought pectin. Even though it's the same ratio of ingredients, you cannot double a batch. It won't set.
If you want to try your hand at canning strawberry jam, here's the recipe from The Made-from-Scratch Life (available next month!)…
*Nature provides pectin for us in citrus and apples (especially green apples). Lemon is an excellent natural pectin source, it keeps your cost down, has no chemicals added to it, and pairs so wonderfully with fruits, making an exceptional tasting jam and jelly.

Featured comments from our customers
To whom it may concern,
I am a local 61 year old man who has always tried to stay as active as possible, my world came crashing down 8 months ago when I had a motorcycle accident in the mountains here, I fractured my collarbone and shoulder blade, a few broken ribs also.
Right after my accident I searched all around looking for a sports therapist, I could not find one locally and nobody could recommend anybody else.
After being in a sling for 6 months I ran into a recent client of Dr Rachael's and was informed there was an actual sports therapist in Los Cabos.
I called for an appointment and scheduled a consultation, at this time I could not reach up to the top of a door, after reviewing my situation Dr Rachael made some recommendations, unfortunately they did not fit my plans, so we discussed an alternative and more aggressive rehab schedule to last 1 month for 12 visits, she was very accommodating to my needs and goals and a plan was set.
The first week of sessions was almost more than I could handle pain wise, but Dr Rachael and all her associates were very patient and always explained what they were doing and gave me exercises to do at home also.
Fast forward to 10 weeks later and I have regained a great deal of my arm and shoulder movement and am back to doing almost all my normal activities, I've had numerous sports injuries during my life, this was a bad one, I was prepared to lose the use of my left arm, I can only say the amount of progress I made is absolutely incredible and it is a direct result of the treatment I received from Dr Rachael and her associates, I can't thank them enough.
I should also include the clinic they have is very modern and clean, lots of equipment to help speed up the healing process.

Hong Kong and Brazil sign MOU on investment promotion co-operation
The signing of the MOU in São Paulo, Brazil, marked the end of a five-day visit by the Director-General of Investment Promotion, Mr Stephen Phillips, who also visited Auckland in New Zealand and Santiago in Chile, to promote Hong Kong's new business opportunities arising from Mainland China's Belt and Road Initiative and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) government's latest HK$50 billion innovation push.
The memorandum was signed by Mr Phillips and the President of Apex-Brasil of the Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil, Mr Roberto Jaguaribe. It provides a framework to enhance the close relationship of the HKSAR and Brazil by further promoting both inward and outward investment in the two jurisdictions. In São Paulo, Mr Phillips also met with mayor, Mr João Doria, and a wide range of Brazilian business leaders in various quarters, including the WTC Business Club.
Earlier, in Auckland, Mr Phillips met with business leaders and was one of the key speakers at a business seminar jointly organised by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, Sydney, and the Auckland Chamber of Commerce, at which he updated around 100 business executives on the latest business developments in Hong Kong. While in Santiago, he met with heads of leading banks, the Chile China Business Council and the Chilean National Fruit Exporters Association, as well as with leaders of key industries such as aviation, innovation and technology and business services.
Concluding the visit, Mr Phillips said, "I have explained to the local business communities in these places Hong Kong's unique position in the Belt and Road Initiative. In this connection, Hong Kong as an international financial and business centre plays an active role in terms of fundraising and professional services, as will be required by many Belt and Road projects.
"I've also provided an update on the latest financial boost from our government for innovation and technology development in Hong Kong, as set out by the Financial Secretary in his Budget speech. I believe the latest financial measures will help InvestHK lure more foreign investors to set up in Hong Kong in the arena of innovation and technology to add to the diversity of our economy."

Bigger is not always better these days, especially when it comes to travel. The ongoing impact of the coronavirus means that large-scale travel such as big cruise ships and mass tourism are out, while small-scale travel is increasingly in. Due to the virus, entire industries need to change and adopt new habits and values. It's forcing us all to reassess how and why we travel.
Here at Cultural Cruises Europe we feel lucky to be already embracing a different approach. For us, this means seeing the world at a slower pace and on a more local scale. Here are five reasons why our cultural tours are certainly not your normal kind of cruise.
1. Inland cruising with daily excursions
When you say 'cruise' most people think of a gigantic cruise liner in the middle of the Caribbean. It just so happens that we also refer to our tours as cruises. But, unlike our colossal cousins, our cruises take place on charming small river ships and barges, many of which accommodate only 20-40 guests. And rather than being out at sea, our tours travel inland on some of Europe's most picturesque rivers and waterways.
Our cruises also feature daily excursions to visit historical sites, view architectural wonders, and sample delicious local produce along the way. So instead of being stuck on a ship all week with 4000 other people, our guests get off the boat every day and spend most of their time outside exploring individually or in small groups.
2. Health and safety: Top priority
These days you cannot be too careful in protecting the health of yourself and others. That's why on all our tours we have implemented a corona protocol: a set of procedures and guidelines that follows government measures to ensure a safe environment on our tours. With this approach we aim to provide peace of mind without disrupting the fun and relaxed atmosphere of your vacation.
3. Outstanding cuisine
Forget the buffet, after you've enjoyed one of our three-course dinners served with our fine selection of wines and local beers then you'll never look back. We pride ourselves on taking excellent care of our guests. From the table setting to the talented chefs working in restaurant-quality kitchens on board, you'll delight in the delicious flavors of artfully-prepared local produce. Bon appetit!
4. Personal space? Plenty!
In this new era, space has taken on a new importance. We know how important it is for travelers to have personal space to feel comfortable in. That's why all cabins on our ships have private bathrooms and the larger suites have additional sitting space.
Beyond cabins, the Manifique ships offer many pleasant spaces to socialize, relax and unwind. Whether you're chatting over a beer at the ship's bar, reading in the lounge area or sitting on deck watching the landscape pass by with a drink in your hand, there's space for everyone to relax and feel at ease. Last but not least, don't forget you'll be getting out into the great outdoors every day, to immerse yourself in the vast glory of nature.
5. Premium travel with a personal touch
When it comes to luxury, many people are seeking a more boutique experience. Our cultural cruises all take place aboard luxury hotel barges. They offer an intimate and personal experience that you'll remember for years to come. Thanks to the small groups of max. 40 guests, exceptional cuisine and outstanding service from our dedicated staff, you'll not only delight in exploring Europe but will finish the tour feeling like one big family.

The most popular method for the checkerboard layout is to alternate between photos and quotes. This is probably because it's the simplest, easiest way to stay consistent with designing a stunning Instagram feed.
And maintaining a stunning feed is one of the key essential ingredients when it comes to attracting followers on Instagram.
Check out these 5 Instagram Grid Layouts for engagement. You might find one you'd like to try.
PRO TIP: It's not just your layout that's important when it comes to creating an appealing Instagram feed that attracts new followers. The quality of the photos you post is key. If you're not a professional photographer, or crafting your own photos is taking too much time, try a quality stock photo source, LIKE THIS ONE - designed with health and wellness brands in mind.
2. Know Your Audience
In order to attract the right followers on Instagram, you need to know your audience. The demographics for your ideal audience will help you to figure out what type of Instagram feed aesthetic will truly resonate with them, which content they want to see, and how to engage with them in general.
For instance, if you're trying to appeal mostly "Earth-centric city moms" then a lush green aesthetic with natural, minimalist tones might inspire them.
In order to attract followers on Instagram, keep in mind that your ideal followers are most attracted to a vibe that's familiar to them, and to which they can relate.
Knowing your audience helps you to understand which values to highlight, which aesthetic to maintain, and which content they'll love to see.
This will assist in keeping your followers coming back as well as enticing new people who fit your audience to visit your Instagram feed. Knowing your audience will also assist in guiding you forward with what type of photos to include in your Instagram feed.
PRO TIP: Often times we are our own ideal client. If this is the case for you, you may have an easier time understanding how to attract followers to your Instagram feed by tapping into what YOU are attracted to and by reflecting on which content other accounts are posting that gives you belly butterflies and keeps you coming back for more.
3. Great Content
While your captions should be:
Knowing who your audience is will help you develop great content for your Instagram feed. Uploading great content that's aesthetically pleasing, follows an appealing grid layout, and is relevant to your audience will help increase engagement, followers, and profits.
When considering which content to post, consider your main interest (example: yoga), and three important values you share with your ideal client which you can regularly highlight (example: self love, sustainable living, simplicity).
Having that general posting plan can help to guide which photos and captions you choose to share in order to maintain one cohesive theme.
PRO TIP: When writing captions, focus on how you can prompt your audience to engage with you. Some effective prompts are to ask for their opinion, launch a mini poll, or ask them to leave their feedback on a controversial subject in the comments below.

This year's event was held at one of Pennsylvania's top 20 golf courses, the always challenging LedgeRock. The event was hosted by former Ohio State University legend and the Philadelphia Eagles 1986 1st round draft pick, running back Keith Byars. The other celebrity hosts were one of the nations leading trauma surgeons, Dr. Ronald Moore from South Florida and country music artist, Timmy Brown. This year's main event sponsor was Thompkins Vist Financial Services along with a host of other corporate sponsors and donors from Berks county. Unfortunately, no one was able to win the 2022 Jeep Wagoneer that was the donated prize by Savage 61, for making a hole in one on the 11th hole.
2022 JEEP Wagoneer Sponsored by SAVAGE 61 for a Hole in One
One of the highlights leading up to the golfing event was having Keith Byars, Dr. Moore and Barry Wenrich a former child resident of the Children's Home of Reading from 1976 to 1977, tour several of the CHOR facilities and interact with many of the students that are currently enrolled at CHOR. Barry shared his captivating life story with the students and current staff on how his stay at CHOR has positively impacted and completely changed his life. He is currently a social worker that resides in Columbus, Ohio and an alumni of Ohio State University. He says his stay at CHOR as a youth has fueled his life long passion and dedication to changing the life of the kids he has counseled for the past 37 years.
Apis Services marketing department supported CHOR on this charity event and the company was well represented when it was time to golf. Ryan Smith, founder and CEO of Inperium was in attendance and Apis even had a quad group of our executives and managers in the golf tournament. "We love to partner and help with all of our affiliates marketing initiatives across the constellation and we definitely enjoyed working with CHOR on their annual golfing event", said Donsville Savariau Apis Services VP of Marketing. The turnout for this years event was amazing with over 80 golfers and raised over $100k for CHOR in the process. "What a great day of golf! So wonderful to see so many friends of the Children's Home come out to support our event. We thank all of our special guests and thank our community", said Dr. Vincent LaSorsa, CEO of CHOR.
The day culminated with a musical performance by Timmy Brown and a awards ceremony inside the club house. The quad group with Keith Byars, Dr. Moore and Thompkins Vist Financial Services actually won this year's scramble golf event by shooting a -9 under par and are looking forward to defending their title next year on May 2, 2023. Thanks to everyone that supported this event and look forward to other Apis supported affiliate events coming soon.

Senior Athletes Make the Most of the Spring Season, For Some their First
March 8, 2022
This year's spring sports seniors have been through it all, a normal season, a canceled season, and a COVID season as they round out their high school career this upcoming season. We interviewed this year's seniors to see how they feel about their upcoming seasons and reflect on their past seasons and accomplishments.
Girls lacrosse senior Ella Wince looks back at her past 4 years on the Girls Varsity Lacrosse team, she recalls her favorite memory as scoring a hat trick against Dublin Coffman in her Junior year. Ella is looking forward to playing this last season along with her best friends, and will continue onto The Ohio State University and hopes to play Club Lacrosse there. Ella says, "I am looking forward to a new environment and new friends". Another senior on the Girls Lacrosse team, Josie Tinnerello, recalls her favorite memory as winning First Team OCC Junior year or traveling to a teammates lake house for freshman year team bonding. Girls Lacrosse is excited for the upcoming season under new head coach Kendall Horner.
Baseball senior Caleb Kirker is looking forward to playing his final year of baseball and going to the Roosters after games with all of his teammates. His proudest and favorite accomplishment has been winning Offensive Player of the Year his junior season. Caleb does not plan to continue his athletics in college, except he says he hopes to "mess around and play on club teams when he can".
Girls Track senior, Leila Boussedra is excited to get a chance to compete and see what she can do this year. She also mentioned that she is psyched to bond with the girls on the team and create a positive environment for the underclassmen. Leila's favorite memory is jumping into a pond with the postseason team near Hilliard Davidson High School after they ran in the state championship meet last year. Leila plans to continue her academic and athletic career at Ohio University where she will be running Cross Country and Track. There at Ohio University Leila is excited to meet new people and get serious training.
Down on the flats, Softball senior Emma Mcneily is looking forward to stepping up as a leader and making connections with underclassmen. Emma is also excited to build the program up and finish strong as this is her last season after playing an astounding 14 years of softball. Her favorite accomplishment is helping to contribute to a good, healthy, and friendly environment after a losing freshman year, and getting their sophomore taken away. Emma says, "I wish I could continue to play softball, but I fear I have too many injuries to continue as successfully as I wish".
We wish all athletes good luck in this upcoming season and hope to see all of the seniors have a great season.

Principal Joel Stembridge announced that he accepted an offer to become the principal of Charlestown High School in Boston beginning this fall, bringing an end to his 11 years as principal at South.
"It has been an honor to serve the families and students in Newton," Stembridge said in a May 8 letter to the school community. "It has been a privilege to champion and celebrate so many NSHS students from entering ninth graders through graduation and beyond."
Senior South senator Coco L'Heritier said that Stembridge's role as an administrator meant that students are often unaware of all his contributions behind the scenes.
"He's a really hard worker, and he works well with the administration. There are a lot of things that he does behind the scenes to help South run properly," she said. "There's definitely some things that he does that we don't even know."
Beyond his tangible actions, junior Talia Raffel said that Stembridge's empathy was evident.
"I could tell that he always cared about the well-being of the students and faculty," she said.
Junior Ethan King said that he recognized Stembridge's work ethic even though the two didn't interact much one-on-one. He said that Stembridge's prominent presence in the community will be missed.
"He's been this beacon," he said. "It just feels a little bit weird that he's leaving because he's always been there."
English teacher Alan Reinstein said that Stembridge handled challenging and tragic moments particularly well
"[His] public responses to school crises and moments of sadness have shown elements of skillful leadership," he said. "His words have revealed both intelligence and empathy, both necessary qualities to express during difficult times."
Despite all the demands associated with his job, Stembridge said that he loved seeing how passionate the students were in their activities throughout his time at South.
"South is a really unique place. I love watching students participate in something they feel really great about," he said.
The timing of Stembridge's announcement, however, was critiqued by students. Stembridge's announcement came shortly after the AP Chinese class was Zoom-bombed on April 15. L'Heritier said she was critical of the timing of Stembridge's letter.
"It was just a bit odd to announce it during that time. The Zoom bombing for the AP Chinese class had just happened, and [we] were still dealing with that," she said.
Senior senator Lucy Chae speculated that Stembridge's decision could explain why the administration's communication with the student body regarding the AP Chinese Zoom bombing was minimal.
In his letter, Stembridge acknowledged the unconventional timing of his statement relative to COVID-19 and virtual learning.
"It is a strange time to leave without having the opportunity to say goodbye, in person, to students and to their families, so many of whom I had the good fortune to get to know over the past 11 years," he said.
Raffel said that although the timing of Stembridge's letter wasn't ideal, making this announcement remotely and during a pandemic was challenging in and of itself.
"He should have waited a little longer to make the announcement, but there's not necessarily a perfect time to inform everyone," she said.
Reinstein said he admired Stembridge's ability to apologize publicly after making an error.
Stembridge said that one of his proudest accomplishments was fostering connections between the students and faculty.
"The most important relationships that happen at school occur between teachers and students," he said. "Students having really great experiences with their teachers and their coaches, that's what I'd like to be remembered for, creating that environment where those relationships can occur."

Therapy approved for patients with sickle cell disease complication
Posted: 18 November 2019 | Rachael Harper (European Pharmaceutical Review) | No comments yet
Adakveo has been approved by the FDA to reduce the frequency of vaso-occlusive crisis, a painful complication of sickle cell disease.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Adakveo (crizanlizumab-tmca), which is a treatment to reduce the frequency of vaso-occlusive crisis, a common and painful complication of sickle cell disease that occurs when blood circulation is obstructed by sickled red blood cells, for patients aged 16 years and older.
"Hope has never been higher for people living with sickle cell disease and their families and supporters, with a pipeline of new treatments on the horizon, like the one being approved today and several initiatives underway to better utilise current tools in the battle against the painful and deadly blood disorder," said Acting FDA Commissioner Adm. Dr Brett Giroir. "The opportunity before us in the coming months and years is profound and historic."
The approval was based on the results of a randomised clinical trial enrolling 198 patients with sickle cell disease with a history of vaso-occlusive crisis. Patients either received Adakveo or a placebo. The patients treated with Adakveo experienced fewer health care visits for vaso-occlusive crisis annually (median annual rate of 1.63 visits), compared to patients who received a placebo (median annual rate of 2.98 visits).
Furthermore, 36 percent of patients who received Adakveo did not experience vaso-occlusive crisis during the study and it delayed the time that patients first experienced vaso-occlusive crisis after starting treatment from 1.4 months to 4.1 months.
"Adakveo is the first targeted therapy approved for sickle cell disease, specifically inhibiting selectin, a substance that contributes to cells sticking together and leads to vaso-occlusive crisis," added Dr Richard Pazdur, director of the FDA's Oncology Center of Excellence and acting director of the Office of Oncologic Diseases in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. "Vaso-occlusive crisis can be extremely painful and is a frequent reason for emergency department visits and hospitalization for patients with sickle cell disease."
The FDA granted this application Priority Review and Breakthrough Therapy designation. Adakveo also received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD), which provides incentives to assist and encourage the development of drugs for rare diseases.

Thus far, I've taken a very conversational tone in these blog entries, which is a far different tone than I've taken in writing games. For one thing, I use the first person pronoun WAY too much in these blog entries. However, there's something a bit friendlier and more welcoming about this tone, too.
A recent forum thread on rpg.net discussed how the author's tone helps/hurts your understanding of the game (at least it did before going waaaay off topic- that's forum threads for you). I can see how it can do both; too clinical, and you bore the reader, too conversational, and you're likely to make the game about your personality rather than the system. You want the rules to be as easy-to-understand as possible, but this is a game system and not a textbook, after all… Some rpg writers (myself included) have used first-person text by a character in the world of the game to bring the reader in, and create this sort of connection with the reader in a more superficial (and sometimes overdone) way.
I want to keep playing with tone to find a conversational yet thorough and precise way to address the reader. Clarity has to be the number one priority; being conversational and engaging the reader is a close second. For example, I need to use uniform language in discussing rules or how those rules are used in context. I can't say that an ability 'stacks' with another ability (since that's a specific way to apply bonuses) and then substitute the word 'synergize' or 'augment' later in the paragraph- synergize and augment are not game terms for applying bonuses to abilities, and therefore are better prose but weaker game writing.
The trick is going to be in adding flavor to the text while also keeping the rule parts clean and direct. I think that's the difference; keep the rules as succinct and clear as possible, but feel free to get a little more conversational in the 'how to play the game' sections (or 'in play', as I've used in other games).
This I like.

Baseball is dead, but don't tell the record-number of fans that are snapping up Steven Strasburg jerseys, or the one that paid $16,000 for his rookie card. Forget the revitalization of baseball in Washington D.C., the first half of the 2010 season has been both thrilling and unpredictable.
Since I am not feeling up to mocking Hemingway and there are still two months until Texas football, we may as well pass the time talking MLB. Besides, Muschamp thinks I'm a rummy.
At least the Rangers are in first place and signed Cliff Lee. Talking baseball may not be as provoking as The Decision, but it's better than two toddlers trying to strangle each other while wearing mittens.
If you are a purist, the season is a mosaic. If you aren't it is torture.
For starters, let's play an imaginary game of If the playoffs started today…
AL East – NY Yankees
AL Central – Chicago White Sox
AL West – Texas Rangers
AL Wild Card – Tampa Bay Rays
AL East – This division has 3 teams that won at least 50 games in the first half. That's ridiculous. Normally, I like to pick against the Wild Card team emerging from such a competitive division, but in this instance, I will be surprised if the ALE does not have 2 playoff teams.
AL Central – I expect the Tigers and White Sox race to last into September. I really like Detroit's rotation, but if Cabrera cools even slightly then their offense will stagnate. Keep an eye on Minnesota, they will not win the division, but they may be good enough to determine who does.
AL West – The Angels were the pick here. Over the long haul, their rotation would have won out. Enter Cliff Lee and suddenly it is a toss-up. Texas likely over-achieved in the first half, but they added a huge piece and have a 4.5 game lead. Rather than the see-saw battle I expect in the ALC, I foresee the ALW as Texas being chased by Anaheim.
NL East – Atlanta Braves
NL Central – Cincinnati Reds
NL West – San Diego Padres
NL Wildcard – Colorado Rockies / LA Dodgers
NL East – Atlanta was the second-biggest surprise in the first half – not that they are good, but their consistency is what I found impressive. The Mets will fade, but the Phils won't. This should shape up like the ALW. Can the Braves hold on? Note: The Mets, Marlins and Nationals are good enough that the second-place team will be in danger of missing the playoffs.
NL Central – I believe the veteran leadership and starting rotation of St. Louis will overtake Cincinnati at some point. However, the rest of the NLC is weak enough that I think the Reds will end up as the NL's Wild Card. The anti-ALE, the NLC has three teams that lost at least 50 games.
NL West – The San Diego Padres are 51-37. Hello biggest surprise-team in baseball, nice to meet you. Courtesy of the Padres' first half, there are four legitimate contenders in the NLW (Dodgers, Rockies & Giants). I think LA has the best roster of that bunch, but their second-half schedule is brutal.
Ok, guys. We've won two games in a row. If we win tonight, its called a winning streak. It has happened before.
The first half showcased some stunning individual performances. At times it seemed like there was a no-hitter being thrown nightly. Three perfect games were thrown in 24 days, as opposed to the previous three, which encompassed 12 years. There are also a couple of sluggers that are on pace to challenge for a triple crown. And if defense is your thing, then just watch Mark Buerhle's glove-flip on a loop.
AL MVP Candidates – Miguel Cabrera (Tigers), Robinson Cano (Yankees), Justin Morneau (Twins)
The AL MVP race is as close as it can get. Cabrera, Cano and Morneau have all been stellar in the first half. While statisticians may argue differently, right now I give the edge to Cabrera. The Tigers' offense depends on Cabrera producing and he's delivering. If he can boost Detroit into a divisional championship, then Cabrera likely will have an edge in the final vote.
AL Cy Young Candidates – Jon Lester (Red Sox), David Price (Devil Rays), Jered Weaver (Angels)
I know Cliff Lee has an infinitesimally small stat line, but he will need to perform that way with his new team to make this list (his K/BB ratio is still worth mentioning). For now, there are three guys that are leading the race and David Price of Tampa Bay would be my pick. Ultimately Price may not have a big enough strikeout total to win, but his ERA and win total should not be ignored.
NL MVP Candidates – Andre Ethier (Dodgers), Roy Halladay (Phillies), Albert Pujols (Cardinals), Joey Votto (Reds)
Joey Votto is leading the NL in several offensive categories and yet he was still left off the original All Star team. Why? Because you've never heard of him. Since enough media members cried foul about the slight, the WWL may take notice and slip him into the nation's conscious. At this point, Pujols over Votto is akin to Reggie Bush over Vince Young. The Cardinals vs Reds race in the NL Central will be the central storyline, but the Pujols vs Votto sidebar is easily worth watching.
NL Cy Young Candidates – Josh Johnson (Marlins), Ubaldo Jimenez (Rockies), Adam Wainwright (Cardinals)
Ubaldo Jimenez had an historic first half of the season, but proved to be human in the last few weeks. That is the only thing that enables a discussion of this award as anything but a foregone conclusion. Enter Josh Johnson whose stat line is actually better than Jimenez'. However, Johnson is lacking the Votto-esque boost from the WWL. Thanks to the Marlins' obscurity, Johnson risks having his stellar performances go unnoticed.
1,000 words on baseball is more than enough….if you're still with me. Thoughts on the first half?
