Lestermania!!!

What an awesome game last night from Red Sox lefty Jon Lester! He walked 2, struck out 9, and oh, by the way, gave up NO hits. As Snot put it so eloquently in an email to me, "Who needs Johan!!" Of course, if that's the case Snot, I'll give you Zack Grienke and a 4th round pick for him...

Anyway, the point of this is to lament 2 things: The fact that I (along with most of the rest of the league from what I'm hearing...) came oh so close to adding Lester yesterday afternoon, but instead opted for Bronson Arroyo... Yes that's right... he of the 6 era, the 1.7 whip, and the COMPLETE INABILITY TO GET BATTERS OUT. Also, the fact that Lester was added by Papi's Space Cadets, providing him with a ridiculous Monday pitching line full of zeros and other pretty numbers. Since of course, Papi and the Regs are battling it out this week, I can come to no other conclusion but this:

Jon Lester is a vengeful and vindictive little twerp who knew I took Arroyo over him and wanted to stick it to me this week. Therefore, I would like to take full and complete credit for motivating Lester to go out and be historic last night. That was my no-hitter right there, thank you very much.
