Jon Lester pitched seven shutout innings, J.D. Drew came within a double of hitting for the cycle, and the Boston Red Sox cruised past the Baltimore Orioles 4-0 on Monday night.

By Paul SF Daisuke Matsuzaka was not worth $102 million.There's a lot of financial craziness out there in modern professional sport, but we have not yet reached the point where a third or fourth (and in this case, fifth) starter is worth a total investment of $102 million for six years.
