Jacoby Ellsbury is no slouch, either...really moves and has made some stupendous catches out there in center field, Poor Coco!

That was fantastic to watch. He deserves it. I imagine his parents are just beside themselves. How about the near collision and subsequent dropping of the ball
around the 2nd inning. great! Was it my imagination or were there a boatload of foul balls out there.

Very exciting! Lester pitched lights-out and seemed to get stronger in later innings (fastball 95+), much like Bucholz did last September. Hooray for Ellsbury
for helping to preserve it. I don't think it's possible to imagine the adrenaline that must have been surging through Lester in the 9th.
Kudos to Varitek for calling another beauty--his fourth no-hitter behind the plate. The other two potentials (Schilling, Pedro) ended when both pitchers shook his pitch call off. Coincidence?

Yes, BackShore - let us not foget to give Varitek tons of credit...the catcher is often overlooked because he's not the one in the limelight.
Kudos to Jason Varitek!

Lester underwent massive chemo and radiation when he had non-Hodgkins Lymphoma Others who've gone thru that say it's totally debilitating and here he
with a mega no hitter.Very exciting.

Nobody deserved it more. I heard it was the first no hitter by a leftie for the Red Sox since 1956!
So true about the credit due Jason. He's so much a part of the pitching success all the time. And Jacoby has one helluva bright future in front of him. Two stolen bases on top of that save. Sheesh. |

Isn't it amazing? After years of anguish we are now raising a generation of Red Sox fans who think world series wins and no-hitters happen on a regular
basis.

SO CLOSE TO A PERFECT GAME. I agree. Ellsbury is just amazing. A real student of the game.

Jon Lester will donate his cleats and a used game ball from Monday's no-hitter to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. In addition to the Lester artifacts,
the Hall also requested C Jason Varitek's catching equipment after the Sox backstop became the all-time leader in no-hitters caught with four.
So cool. |

Tek has four no hitters. Think about that.
