Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>i just deleted my post, we posted at the same time, figured i'd let you (a red sox fan) have the post.<br /><br /><img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />anyway, even as a die-hard Yankees fan, i had a lump in my throat watching this kid make history...<br /><br />nights like this, performances like...unassisted triple plays, chipper jones & lance berkman batting around .400, etc...remind us about what's good in baseball...

Posted By: <b>Tim</b><p>That's AWESOME!!!<br /><br />It's not even the end of May and this season is shapping up to be a great one.<br /><br />An unassisted triple play, a player hits for the cycle, a no-hitter, a player hitting over .400, another in early contention for the triple crown and Webb could win 25.<br /><br />I know it's early but there are a lot of great things to follow.

Posted By: <b>Kyle</b><p>I sat there, praying for John to get his final three outs. Actually get a little emotional, wanting to see the celebration that ensues. <br /><br />I loved seeing the team come out and hug their teammate, congratulate him and "hoist" him up to the crowd.<br /><br />My favorite part, the video clip of Veritek giving the ball to Lester. <br /><br />"Unbelieveable."<br /><br /><br />Gotta love it.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>My son and I watched this game (The KC broadcast) through the first 4 innings and then went outside to toss the ball around...we came inside just in time to see that Lester still had a no hitter going through 8 so we sat down and watched it. Many high fives ensued. <br /><br />What a great story...just two years removed from cancer.<br /><br />GO SOX!!!

Posted By: <b>Frank B</b><p><br /> I made a bet that there would not be all of the following in the 2008 regular season:<br /><br />1) No-hitter<br />2) Steal of Home<br />3) Triple Play<br />4) Inside-the-park-HR<br />5) Player hits for Cycle<br /><br /> It's mid May and I think I may have lost the<br />bet already. Steal of Home is tough to research<br />so no confirmation on that one yet.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Frank, there has already been a steal of home this year for certain. Either a Met or a Yankee did it in the last two weeks.

Posted By: <b>Bernie</b><p>I was there last night ... Sox season tickets in the bleachers <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> My wife is 6+ months pregnant and was getting cold in the 6th inning so we were just gonna stay until he gave up a hit. That was the first no-no I've seen in person.

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>HOUSTON (AP) -- Geovany Soto didn't get the automatic home run he deserved. Cubs manager Lou Piniella thinks he probably likes it that way.<br /><br /><br />Soto was credited with an inside-the-park three-run homer in the fourth inning despite replays showing that it should have been an automatic home run in Chicago's 7-2 win

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>Congrats to the Twins for turning down a package which included Jacobi Ellsbury and John Lester for Santana instead shrewdly choosing the Mets and a punch and judy centerfielder and two mediocre minor league pitchers instead. Added to the off-season pickups of Mike .190 Lamb, Adam .210 Everett and Brendan .235 Harris, all starters, the new GM is off to a great start!
