Adam Kilgore of the Boston Globe has today's edition of the Red Sox Notebook. Top story? Mike Timlin made the ALCS roster. It's been an interesting back-and-forth between Timlin and Francona since the Sox clinced their Playoffs spot, with this update only adding to the drama.

Francona praised Timlin for his professionalism in handling his exclusion from the ALDS, but Timlin said, "I can't say the full conversation was professional." Yesterday's talk went better for both men.
