From Hell to Hell in a Handbasket...

BostonHerald.com - Boston Red Sox: Sox: Lester has treatable form of lymphoma

A week ago the Red Sox season had gone to hell.

This week it's gone to hell in a handbasket and the crash and burn of the Red Sox seems somehow insignifigant after the news of heart problems for David Ortiz, and more importantly, the lymphoma that 22-year old Sox Southpaw John Lester has been diagnosed with.

The Sox still have a legitimate shot at the post season - and if they make a run, sure, I'm going to root - but somehow, if they don't make it, I won't be terribly crushed this year - it just doesn't seem that important.
