Jon Lester's win

Kristen couldn't ask for anything more:

... So Jon Lester. Two thumbs up. And, because I'd be remiss not to mention it, Mr. Covelli Crisp with the four-hit night. Not only does he play defense but he enjoys hitting the ball as well! Who knew? Apparently, he's just decided to do it all his own self. I expect we've got another week before he intercepts a reliever coming out of the bullpen and mows down the opposing hitters himself. I look forward to it.

Rob also savors the win, but adds:

Lester still seems to me to be a stop-gap measure until Schilling returns to the rotation.

Red appreciates the way NESN kept the cameras on as Lester walked to the mound, panning around the Sox fans rising to their feet - although he wishes they didn't then immediately cut away to commercials:

I know you gotta keep the advertisers happy, but couldn't the powers that be at NESN just say, "Look here, Sullivan Tire and WB Mason, Jon freakin' Lester's back tonight, so we'll get to your horsesh-t next inning." ...

Cyn appreciates a gracious Julian Tavarez.

Bruce rounds up the media reaction.
