Topkin must be bored, as it appears that he spent most of the morning cutting and pasting the columns of the Boston papers.

I especially liked this quote from the Globe, "Kazmir, who still hasn't taken that turn toward elite status that Jon Lester has..."

Am I crazy in thinking that Lester hasn't proven himself as well as Kazmir in any respect other than throwing no-hitters and recovering from cancer? Did the Red Sox win the World Series last night, cause there fans seem to think so?

Chris (Orlando): Hey Joe, How far do you see the Miracle Rays going this season? Thanks

 Joe Morgan: It depends on whether they get Longoria and Crawford back healthy, and I'm not sure when that's going to happen. It's going to be tough for them to go deep into the playoffs without those two. Once you get into the playoffs, though, everyone can win--even Wild Card teams have won the World Series in the past few years. But I'm not sure their three top starters could match up with the top three of the other playoff teams.

Ugh.
