Lester Signs 5-year Deal w/Red Sox

Congrats to the Red Sox front office and Jon Lester for signing him to a 5-year deal. Also, although noticed previously but not commented on, big thumbs up for 6 years for Pedroia and 4 for Youkilis. Great to get these kids locked up. Kids have heart, grit, and know how to play baseball. They are baseball players, one and all.

And very belated props to Jim Rice for finally getting into the Hall of Fame.

And Rickey too! Rickey likes the HoF. Rickey's glad he's in.
