Jon Lester throws a no-no!!!

A big Subway Chatter contratulations goes out to Jon Lester of the FIRST PLACE Boston Red Sox for throwing a no-hitter earlier tonight against the Royals. Less than two years after being diagnosed with a rare form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma, the twenty-four year-old Lester allowed just two baserunners (a walk in the second and one in the ninth) for the second no-no in as many seasons by a Red Sox pitcher. Yes, I’m a Red Sox fan, but a text from my Yankee fan buddy displays how great a moment this is for baseball, and at the same time shows that you Yankee fans aren’t all heartless douchebags: “I hate the f***ing red sox, but that is a great f***ing baseball story.”

Jon Lester survived cancer and threw a no-hitter. Jason Giambi wears a gold thong that he admits to sharing with some of his teammates including Yankee captain Derek Jeter. Yeah, I’m happy with my choice of favorite baseball team.
