For those of you keeping score:
In 2006, Jon Lester was diagnosed with anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
In 2007, he won the clinching game of the World Series.
In 2008, just a few hours ago in fact, he pitched his first complete game—a motherf@#king no hitter against the Kansas City Royals.
Is there any doubt that 2009 will find him marooned on a deserted island with Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Heidi Watney, the Celtics Dancers, that chick from Gossip Girl and Jenna Jameson—a deserted island conveniently stocked with beer, steaks, ecstasy and Tom Waits’ entire discography pre-loaded on a 1,000-watt stereo system? Because you just know it’s going to happen. And it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.
