No-hitter alert: Jon Lester

Lester's cancer (lymphoma) has been in remission since December 2006. So ... yeah, for him.

 

Time to rename the thread, no?

 

That's one of my favorite episodes of Boy Meets World. I just hope he doesn't sleep through his history test tomorrow.

 

I just went to Lester's Wikipedia page. I thought, "Gee, I should update it by adding his no-hitter." After all, it had only been about 12 seconds since the final pitch. But the damned thing was already there. Somebody to have it written. They must have waited for the pitch to hit the button to add it.

 

I'm watching the NESN feed. It amazes me how fast they can throw shit together.

The guests, the analysis, all that stuff.

 

i hate the sawx, too. but it was impossible not to root for lester in the 9th. like it must've been hard for yankee haters to root against jim abbott. 8) 8) 8)

 

Growing up, I loved the Detroit Tigers.

My dad would wake me up for the ninth inning of important games. And I remember he let me watch all of Game 5 of the World Series, when Gibson hit the two homers — the second off Gossage.

 

My dad did that for me with Juan Nieves' no-no in 1987 when I was 10. I had smuggled a radio underneath my bed covers when my mom had sent me to bed in the seventh inning.

 

Hasn't Varitek caught the last four Boston no-hitters?

 

Yes, MLB record for no-hitters caught.
