Jon Lester Throws No-Hitter vs. Royals (Video)
Cancer Survivor Pitches Feel Good Story of Baseball's Season (Even If It Was Just the Royals)

When throwing a no-hitter is, at best, only your second greatest accomplishment as a 24-year-old, you know you've achieved some special things.

Red Sox Jon Lester survived cancer that forced him to miss the end of 2006 and the first part of 2007 and tonight he tossed a no-hitter against the Kansas City Royals. It's the 18th no-hitter in Boston's history.

The line: 9 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 2 BB and 9 K.

What a special story. Chills for me when the information popped across the bottom of the Cubs game that he was through eight inning without a hit.

I can't empathize, but I imagine after overcoming a scary disease, Kansas City Royals batters don't seem so overwhelming.

Boston 7, Kansas City 0

One last thing for CF, why aren't you calling for Dusty Ba.., erm, Francona's head letting a 24 year old throw 130 pitches? Where's THAT on the stat line?

Just in case it's not obvious, I do realize you don't mess with a no-no.  Still funny.
He'll get lit up next outing, but you can live with that.

I am a Yankee Fan.  But Congrats to Jon Lester .. after what that young man went thought the last couple years .. he deserved something good to happen like this ..  I may not like The Red Sox .. I may not watch Red Sox games .. I may not like 99.9% of The Red Sox players .. but I know when to acknowledge an accomplishment like a no hitter .. you deserved it Jon .. Congrats!! 
Hey Fishman, I am not a deadsox fan, but White Sox fan, BUT I think you are in trouble because living in Boston, this Deadsox pitching debt is remarkable, you got Lester which wasn't a fluke only 24, Buckholtz 23, Beckett 28, Bowden 21, & Mastersion 22, these guys are all proven they can win in Majors, if they get consistant which I see no reason why they can't with the stuff they have, only Bowden has not yet pitched in majors & he is the one guy they cannot wait to bring up but not yet, plus they have all kinds of young studs for position players

I don't care.  Good for them .. I'm happy for the Red Sox fans .. but I don't care about them .. I really don't .. hell I couldn't name 5 players on their team .. I'll admit that .. My Yankees will finish in last place this year and they'll finish in last place for the next 5 years .. so what?  Where did I say in my comments that My Yankees were going to kick the Red Sox butts?  I didn't .. I do not like trash talk and I don't talk trash .. let the Red Sox win .. Good For Them .. I just won't be watching baseball after September ..

Sorry dude, just trying to have some small talk, and the Yanks won't be a cellar dwellar this or next year

No, I should be sorry, I was in a bad mood yesterday and I overracted to your comment.  Sorry.  But everything I said was true .. I hope The Yankees aren't cellar dwellars too long .. but it doesn't look good .. so I'm not getting my hopes up just so they can be crushed like they have been ever since 2001 .. oh well .. it's just a game .. again sorry to you too. 
Oh by the way Fishman, me being from Boston, you sound like Red Sox fans before they FINALLY beat the Yanks in 04, and thats not good, cause these fans here are brutal
