The 10 Best Tweets From Jon Lester Versus Angry Red Sox Fans

Found July 12, 2012 on The Awesome Boston: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Jon Lester
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox

Lefty Lester A.B. Jon Lester took to Twitter yesterday to defend himself and his teammates from angry Boston Red Sox fans. And although many more of the Boston Faithful stepped up to defend the slumping southpaw, Lester certainly had his hands full with some cyber-Sox bullies. Ranging from bath salts accusations to wishing for trades, Lester was bombarded by a whirlwind of negativity. In one humble Red Sox fans’ opinion, Lester came out on top of the twitter turbulence. From pointing out errors in math to referencing his never quit attitude, Lester was able to keep his cool.  It’s strange that Lester responded to the criticism in the first place but his sometimes sarcastic tone at least made the banter enjoyable. So without further ado, here are the 10 bests tweets at & from @JLester31: Bath Salts Before Games Lester Happy In Boston Harsh Sox Fans The Math Doesn’t Add Up Positive Jon Lester Lester Sucks?

Carl Crawford Risks Giving Naysayers Further Ammunition By Forcing Return From Elbow Injury

Via NESN.com  |  July 12, 2012
PAWTUCKET, R.I. –– This is tricky territory for Carl Crawford. On one hand, during Thursday's rehab assignment with the PawSox, the outfielder said he wasn't concerned about all the animosity. This time around, he planned to ignore the lingering criticism surrounding his seven-year, $142 million contract. "I feel like the expectations are always high," Crawford...

Red Sox Blow Series to Yankees

Via CLNS Radio  |  July 11, 2012
Is anyone surprised about the result from this series? I am. I expected a four game sweep, so I guess losing just three is fine. You know what’s not fine? Josh Beckett and Jon Lester being 12-22 in games they have pitched at the all star break. Of course, two of the games they lost [...]

Sox Start Second Half in Tampa

Via Bloody Sox  |  July 12, 2012
By SBRForum.com Through the bad start and the squabbles and the too-many-to-mention injuries the Boston Red Sox begin the second half of the season at .500 with a three-game series at Tampa. How might this series play out, and what might we recommend for some free MLB picks? Heading into the weekend Boston sits at 43-43 and in a last-place tie with Toronto in the AL East, 9.5 games...

Red Sox’ 2nd Half Begins Tomorrow Night

Via Boston Sports Then & Now  |  July 12, 2012
The second half of the MLB season begins tomorrow night in Tampa for the Sox with a big 3 game series vrs. the Rays.  As hard as it is to fathom the Sox could potentially pass the Rays in the standings with a sweep.  This weekend could very well determine the fate of the Red Sox’ 2012 season.  Here are 5 storylines to keep an eye on in the second half: Ellsbury returns from...

Biggest busts of the Red Sox first half

Via Beantown Banter CS OLD  |  July 10, 2012
The Sox are 43-43 at the All-Star break after dropping 3 of 4 to the Yankees in mostly disgraceful and far-too-familiar fashion, which I foreshadowed last week. David Ortiz and others have reminded the masses that injuries have been a very real and very consistent problem for this team, but that doesn’t mean some of the healthy players aren’t deserving of outright scorn for their...

Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz Hold Key to Second-Half Success for Red Sox (Video)

Via NESN.com  |  July 14, 2012
The vaunted Big Three of the Red Sox starting rotation hasn't exactly set the world on fire so far this season. With the struggles and inconsistencies of Josh Beckett (4-7, 4.43 ERA), Jon Lester (5-6, 4.49) and Clay Buchholz (8-2, 5.53 ERA), it's no wonder that the Red Sox are a mere one game over .500 after Friday's 3-1 win over the Rays. But the three possess just as...
