Red Sox lefty Jon Lester's big accomplishment of the night was preventing the Royals from getting any hits with his nine-strikeout complete game shutout. That's a no-hitter! I am shocked, to say the least. My jinx didn't even work!
Yes, Lester's big story is that he beat non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a sort of cancer. But tonight, we salute him for mowing down the sorry Royals, including Jose Guillen, a TRUE clubhouse cancer.
Addendum: According to NESN, Jason Varitek becomes the first player to ever catch 4 no hitters. -CTC
Nomo, Lowe, Buchholz, and Lester?
I feel like I should be able to do that off the top of my head. Tell me that was right.
Yay feel-good stories.
Harrumph! I don't feel so good.
Wait this is where i meant to post it.
TAKE THAT, CANCER!
Was this was the good kind of no-hitter, or the bad kind?
