This is wonderful to see, even if you're not a Red Sox fan. According to the Associated Press, "Jon Lester is slated to return to the mound for the Boston Red Sox on Monday, nearly a year after his rookie season was cut short when he was diagnosed with cancer... Lester was scheduled to replace Julian Tavarez for Monday's game at Cleveland, the 23-year-old left-hander's first major league appearance since he beat the Los Angeles Angels on Aug. 23 last year." Here's wishing the kid the best!

Hopefully nothing more than shame and remorse for saying such a thing.

from a HUGE Yankee fan of almost 30 years,

I wish Lester the best of luck and here's to a healthy LIFE (career is secondary right now) from now on. This guy deserves support from baseball fans all over regardless of who you root for.

[MVB]

Yeah, I think this is the first time in my life that I've rooted for a Red Sox pitcher to have a great performance. It's impossible not to root for the guy...

Come on LSC, lighten up. I wished Lester the best, but you can't expect me to hope the Red Sox win, can you?

[simple simon]
