My Take & Experience of Jon Lester's No-Hitter Last Night
2008-05-20 19:19:00
Jon Lester Celebrates his no hitter last night.

The night started off fairly inconspicuous as we headed over to Cornwall's in Kenmore Square after work to get some grub and shoot some pool. I bounced early because I still didn't have a ticket and scalped a grandstand seat in Section 24 for face value. The scalper (please note I hate all scalpers, but sometimes ya' gotta do what ya' gotta do) tried to charge me $70 for the ticket, but I talked him down to the face of $45 explaining that: A) This was a Grandstand seat B) The Royals were in town C) It  was a cool night in May Best $45 I ever spent that's for sure. I ran into some other friends randomly on my way ...

Jon Lester No-Hitter, Best Game I've Ever Been To
2008-05-20 15:33:00
Jon Lester throws home during his no hitter (AP Photo) I have to make this short and sweet for the moment because I have to get some work done at my "real job" (I know right?!), but check back later for my full game report from last night. Hands down the best baseball game I've ever attended. Nursing the best hangover I've had in awhile. SawxBlog Photos to come later as well. Fenway was louder then I've ever heard it before. We were on brief hiatus over the weekend due to me traveling, sorry bout that, worth the wait though huh? One Word: Magical
