That headline might be missleading. Don't worry, I'm already looking into firing my headline guy. However, this is your feel good story of the day. Jon Lester no hit the Kansas City Royals last night. Lester has come quite far since August 31, 2006 when he was diagnosed with lymphoma. At the time of the diagnosis, Lester was one of the top prospects in the Red Sox organization. After going through treatments Lester was back on the mound for the Sox on July 23 of last year (doesn't that make you feel bad for calling in sick to work because of an upset stomach a few months back?).On a related note, Jason Varitek was behind the plate last night for Lester's no hitter. This is his Major League record fourth game catching a no hitter. Not a bad night if you're a Red Sox fan.
