BASEBALL: Some Guys Have All The Luck
Published 5/20/2008 by Baseball Crank at Baseball Crank
... Jon Lester throws a no-hitter. I don't begrudge Lester, who has had an inspiring road back from cancer - this is your basic Hollywood ending to that return - but Red Sox fans have had their share of these; someday, Mets fans will get a turn to enjoy a no-no. ...

Lester Throws No-Hitter

... the ball glance of his glove. The error allowed both Pedroia and Big Papi to score giving the Red Sox a 4-0 lead. Youkilis followed that with a ground rule double scoring Manny and making it 5-0 Red Sox. Hochevar got Drew to fly out to end the carnage. The Red Sox added two more runs in the 6th inning when Varitek hit a 2-run homer to right field. What an amazing night at the Fens!!! One that Jon Lester and the Red Sox will remember for the rest of their lives. Jon Lester no-hitter boxscore

Game 44: Kansas City @ Boston
Published 5/20/2008 by Lee Warren (noreply@blogger.com) at Royal Reflections
Game Date: May 19, 2008 Red Sox 7, Royals 0 / Box Score WP: Lester (3-2), LP: Hochevar (3-3) Royal Home Runs: None Royals Record: 21-23 The last time it happened, I was six years old. And frankly, I don't even remember it. That's probably a good thing. But being no-hit by Nolan Ryan was close to a norm. The guy did it seven times; so the time he did it against the Royals sort of blends in with all the others. Enter Jon Lester--the feel good story of last season; the 24-year-old cancer survivor who found himself pitching in the World ...

When the dust settled he had thrown the 18th no-hitter in Red Sox history. It took 2 hours and 30 minutes on the dot and took place in front of a crowd of 37,746. It's a great culmination for Lester who just over a year ago faced uncertainty in his ...

The Red Sox have been outshining our dearly beloved Yankees in every facet of the game lately, signing the coveted big shots, winning championships, and getting all-star performances out of their youngsters. With last night's no-hitter from Jon Lester they've now had two consecutive no-hitters thrown by dudes under 25, while across town I-Ken and Phil Hughsie have been struggling just to keep ...

Red Sox No-Hitters Through The Years

Posted 5/20/2008 on SOX1FAN

In the early spring of 2001, I had never seen a Red Sox pitcher throw a no-hitter… three had been thrown in my lifetime, but they had all occurred when I was too young to comprehend the magnitude of the accomplishment. On April 4, 2001, I sat in the TV room of my home in Berwick, Maine, and tears brushed my cheek as Hideo Nomo finished off the first Red Sox no-hitter I had ever seen. ...

No No for Lester

Posted 5/20/2008 on Fantasy Baseball Through The Eyes of a Gaijin

Jon Lester of the Red Sox has thrown the first no-hitter of 2008. With a 130 pitch start the cancer survivor baffled Royals hitters all night and earned himself a spot in baseball history. Lester finished with a line of 9IP, 0H's, 2BB's, and 9K's. Going into this game Lester was throwing extremely well allowing only 6ER's in his previous 25.1 innings pitched while striking out 17.

It’s easy to forget now, but things didn’t always go this well for the Red Sox. Seems like just a few short years ago, the Red Sox weren’t coming back from 0-3 holes, winning World Series, throwing no-hitters, and seeing numerous exciting young players come up to the big league team. Jon Lester’s no-hitter tonight is just one of many moments over the past few years ...

Jon Lester, Lymphoma and Fortitude

Posted 5/20/2008 on The Diamond Fan

Congratulations to Jon Lester, who pitched the 18th no-hitter in Red Sox history today. As a fellow lymphoma survivor I was especially thrilled to see him come back to such a great accomplishment after beating the disease. Anyone who has ever received a cancer diagnosis know the fear, stress, and uncertainty such a diagnosis brings. Anyone who has survived chemotherapy and radiation ...

Jon Lester's No-Hitter Celebration Complete With NESN F-Bomb

Jon Lester dominated the Royals earlier tonight to the tune of 9.0IP, 9 K's, 2 Walks, 0 Hits which is Algonquin for a no hitter. Enjoy the celebration and the subsequent f-bomb at the 1:25 mark..... You know what? Good for whoever said that on-air (my guess is Timlin). No hitters are unfuckingbelivable and should be described as such. Good times in Boston as Cancer Survivor Jon Lester ...

Now, 7 years later, I can say that I’ve seen 4 Red Sox no-hitters. Although I should ...

Jon Lester pumps fist after no-hitter 5/19 May 19th, 2008 Jon Lester becomes the 18th no-hitter in Boston Red Sox history in a 7-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals.

History behind Jon Lester's no-hitter, other MLB no-hitter history you probably don't know

Congrats to Boston Red Sox left-hander Jon Lester and his no-hitter Monday night against the Kansas City Royals. While SWB are unabashed Sox supporters, even the most anti-Sox fan can appreciate what a feat this is considering Lester is just a year removed from being declared cancer free. If you don't know anyone that has suffered through chemo, you have no idea the weight of that previous ...

Jon Lester Threw a No-Hitter

Red Sox lefty Jon Lester's big accomplishment of the night was preventing the Royals from getting any hits with his nine-strikeout complete game shutout. That's a no-hitter ! I am shocked, to say the least. My jinx didn't even work! Yes, Lester's big story is that he beat non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a sort of cancer. But tonight, we salute him for mowing down the sorry Royals, including Jose ...

Lester Tosses No Hitter

Jon Lester , who battled cancer last year, threw the 18th no-hitter in Red Sox history just moments ago. Four of the last six no-hitters have been thrown by the Red Sox. Clay Buckholtz tossed a no-hitter for the Sox just last year, giving the Sox two pitchers under 25 years old that have tossed a no-hitter in their rotation. Can we just get one? Please??? Congrats to Lester, quite a ...
