Thanks for the No-No Jon . .

Last summer as Jon Lester made his comeback to the big leagues after defeating cancer, I wrote about how incredibly inspirational Lester has been to the fans who were watching him. Tonight after Jon Lester threw a no-hitter in just his 37th career start, I thought rather than talk about his bid, I would repost what I posted back then. Enjoy

almost as impressive as the no-hitter is jason varitek having caught for a record 4 of them in his career (and 1 out away from a 5th in the schilling game last year)

What a great thing to happen to a guy who went threw so much. I just heard he pitched 130 pitches!(OLD SCHOOL) and his last pitch was 96 M.P.H..

It was alot of pitches. I was concerned about that but he still had the velocity at the end. Just an incredible performance. It couldn't have gone to anyone more deserving.

I hate all things Boston, but its very hard not to be for a guy like Jon Lester. Screw the no-hitter, beating cancer trumps that
