Lester Reluctantly Tips His Cap in Defeat
fullcount.weei.com 10/9/2009 — ANAHEIM, Calif. – On the mound, the frustration was unavoidable. There were instances when Jon Lester’s pitches appeared to dart through the heart of the strike zone, only for home-plate ump Joe West to call them balls. There were other calls, as when ...
CC Should Start 1, 4, and 7
theyankeeuniverse.com 10/12/2009 — From Mark Feinsand :
