Jon Lester steals ESPN Spotlight Meant for Berkman and Soriano

The two hottest hitters going right now (both doing things almost unheard of in baseball history), litterly no one has been as hot as these two hitters have been recently, were featured on ESPN Monday night baseball. Cubs verse Astros.

Instead, the game switched away from the close game to a 7-0 Boston beatdown of the Kansas City Royals.

Why?

Jon Lester was in the midst of a no-hitter. He got it too.

Meanwhile in Houston, Soriano and Berkman each went 0-4 in the Cubs 7-2 win to open the first Cubs/Astros series in Houston that I won't attend any games of since the opening of Minute Maid.

Oh well, you know what they say, good pitching will always beat good pitching. Congratulations to Lester on the first no hitter of the season.

I've been meaning to explain to you what truly happened here in Houston this week. I woke up Wednesday morning and had a talk with Oliver. Apparently he hates the Cubs. I tried to explain that the Cubs are ok, that we can cheer for them during the post-season, that they have lots of history and we shouldn't hate them (I mean, they aren't the Braves or even the Yankees). But he's just a pup, you know. Anyway, he demanded to wear his Astros shirt to do his part, and we saw eye-to-eye on that. Once he was geared up, the Astros turned it around. He says he's sorry Tio Josue, but I don't think he means it.
