Not going to go into a whole lot of back-story here, since you can read that just about anywhere online today.  I just wanted to give a shout out and congratulations to Jon Lester on his no hitter last night against Kansas City in Fenway.  I have now seen Nomo, Lowe, Buchholz and Lester pitch a no hitter for the Sox, and that is pretty cool.  This one was just a little more special though considering the back story that Lester has.  Coming back from life-threatening cancer and then pulling off a rare feat like that is incredible.

So…congrats!

Oh yea, a little congrats to Varitek too…first catcher to ever be on that side of the plate for 4 no hitters.  That’s impressive in its own right.
