Comebacks

This will be quick.

Jon Lester made his comeback from cancer last night in Cleveland.  In storybook fashion he pitched six solid innings and earned his first win.  He only allowed a handful of hits and 2 runs (1 bad pitch that got hit out cost him 2 runs) and had 6 strikeouts -including a huge one with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the 4th.

If you aren't a Red Sox fan this may not be a big story to you.  But given the week sports fans have had with Michael Vick being indicted, the breaking of the NBA officiating scandal, and of course Barry Bonds, isn't it refreshing to see a good person have good things happen to them?  

I think it is.

Congrats on the win Jon.  Welcome back to Boston.  We hope this time you stay a while.
