IT WAS A NO-HITTER! 

Jon Lester, who battled back from a spell with cancer not too long ago, pitched a no-hitter tonight for the Boston Red Sox against the Kansas City Royals. And I don't have a clip yet of the last out, so what I'm going to do is post the last inning of Don Cardwell's no-hitter at Wrigley Field on May 15, 1960 against St. Louis. YouTube is quite the amazing project. If enough people hear about YouTube I think whoever invented YouTube might be able to make a couple hundred dollars one day.

What tonight's no-hitter means is that E.K. Nation must select a new E.K. Nation Next Pitcher To Throw A No-Hitter™, so let's just choose someone at random from tomorrow's starting pitchers. I'll be right back...

...I'm back. You know, I had already thought of selecting Tim Lincecum, seeing as how he's a really good pitcher and all. Turns out he is pitching tomorrow. He would become the second consecutive Giant to be E.K. Nation's Next Pitcher To Throw A No-Hitter™...and so it is. Congrats, Tim, on your selection. Nobody has ever actually thrown a no-hitter while being E.K. Nation's Next Pitcher To Throw A No-Hitter™, and might I remind you that no Giant has thrown a no-hitter since before I became a Giants fan way back in 1978? It's time. Do it, Timmy.
