Just like a proud mama

It's ridiculous how close we as fans can feel towards our players. I mean, I don't know Jon Lester. I've never met Jon Lester. Okay, I saw him in the 'pen once at Fenway, but that's as close as I've come. Yet I was so tense and excited and, finally, happy and proud of him tonight when he pulled off the no-hitter. A no-hitter! I think that's the first time I've actually seen one live, and I had to miss the first few innings because I was at work. Bygones. It was glorious. Glorious, I say! Let's do it again tomorrow.
