Jon Lester named Pitcher of the Month for July

Lester has been named pitcher of the month for July. He put up some pretty nasty numbers: 2.05 ERA in 30.2 innings. In those innings he gave up 31 hits and only 6 walks while striking out 28.

The impressive part is that if you take away his rough start against the Twins on July 8th, his numbers come out to 2 earned runs in 23.1 innings (1.28 ERA). Only one word can be used to describe that: dominant.

How can anyone not enjoy this kid's success, battling back from major hurdles...his stuff is getting nastier, and he is strong...could be a 20 game winner, if not this year, soon...he has that poise that fits perfect on this high profile team...what a great season, lesson, and inspiration to all who survive cancer...the Lance Armstrong of Baseball...funny, he is the ace this year...who would have thought that

It's such a great thing to watch, I love it.

Im very happy for him.. his story just makes it even better to see him win... and receive recognition for his great pitching...

Jon Boy.......you're an inspiration to all.....overcoming what you have.....never whining or complaining. Just come out, work hard, get healthy again, and throw that nasty stuff you're throwing.
It's unusual for lefties to do well in Fenway, but when you're throwing breaking balls that fall of the table, toss in some 93+ heat, then yank the string on some deadly changeups and you've got "Pitcher of the Month".

Ahh got any suggestions for Buckholz?

Hopefully SOMEBODY has some suggestions for Buccholz!
