I agree with this from the Globe about Lester: Of all of the disappointing developments for the Sox in September, Lester's failure to deliver in big moments and his involvement in the clubhouse Drinkin, Chicken-Eatin' and Video Gamin' clique was near the top of the list. Lester once referred to Terry Francona as like a second father; here's hoping he realizes how he let him down, and comes back with the maturity that helps him become a true No. 1 starter.
