Jon Lester almost showed that lightening strikes twice. He threw five innings of no-hit ball against the Cleveland Indians. Of course, we all knew he wasn’t going to get a no-hitter, this close to the playoffs, Tito wasn’t going to let him get above 90 pitches. Still, five innings of no-hit baseball gives your team a very good chance to win.

Then the offense was rocking and rolling, including a shot Youk hit, taking it to the Monstah Seats!
I love this time of year for baseball. Although I do admit, I thought this series against the Yankees would mean more. Oh well.
Also, totally off topic, and if you love the Office keep reading. (Note if you haven’t seen season 5’s premier, STOP! Contains SPOILERS!)
