What a difference a year makes for the Sox. The team’s hot start has 27 percent of those who took the survey predicting a World Series. Only 3 percent said the Sox will not make the playoffs. Sixty-four percent of those surveyed said Farrell is doing a good job. Only 1 percent disapproved of Farrell’s work this year.

Katie Ernst was just a hundred yards away from the finish line when last Monday's blast in Boston ended her first experience in the Boston Marathon, but she was able to "finish" the race back here in Westford thanks to a few of her friends.
