He's Off The Market, Ladies

Congratulations go out to Jon Lester, who revealed to Dan Roche tonight on WBZ (from Beckett Bowl out in Malden) that he got engaged yesterday to his girlfriend of more than a year, Farah Johnson.

Here's video of Jon talking about Beckett Bowl and his engagement - he just can't keep the goofy grin off his face.

I saw the video. I am looking forward to the 11 O'clock news, where there will be more clips. Hopefully they post them online.

I'm going to miss the 11:00 news, so that would be awesome if they posted them online :D

And I'm so happy for Jon, he's so happy it's adorable :)

There are clips from Beckett bowl on Wbztv.com, Necn.com, and Nesn.com. The best one yet is Necn.com. They are all adorable.

awwwww!!! they are so cute together. they met while he was still going thru chemo, and she goes hunting with him. she's a keeper.

now if Jacoby can just cracking on proposing to Kelsey, Beckett and Buck will be the only fiance wife-free guys on the team. uh oh, watch out!

Aw, that's so sweet....Jon's a really nice guy, (plus my favorite pitcher on the team..) I'm wicked happy for him.....

While I'm kind of ashamed to admit I know this, Youk has only been engaged since last fall. And I would imagine they would wait for the off-season (which hopefully won't start until November for them:-D)

hopefully youk's smartens up to the fact that enza is a money grubber and wont get married at all!

Lindsay - if she goes hunting with him, I'd say she's a keeper.
But can you imagine the female riots if Jacoby gets engaged? *cowers*

Oh man, Beckett and Clay being the only ones left.... *evil smirk*

I've never understood all the fuss about Jacoby. But good for Lester, he's just such a likeable guy.

(taking another opportunity to express how much I loathe those shirts, Shonda)

Katherine-I thought it was just me who hated those shirts. They're so tacky

"they met while he was still going thru chemo, "

No they didn't. They met when he was in Greenville and his chemo was over. He had a different girlfriend when he was going through chemo.

I can still drool, right? ... right?

Congrats, lovebirds.

Dont think this is the girl who helped him thru chemo. This one he met while at the minor league camp in Greenville while he was rebuilding to rejoin the team. The one who helped him thru chemo is in Wash in his hometown. They broke up shortly after he met and started dating this girl in the Spring of 07.

oh ok, thought I'd read this was the girl he'd met during chemo. nevermind then! a year is kind of quick. no? I thought Youk had been engaged for longer also, but maybe its just cuz I feel like I've been hearing about him and Enza FOREVER.

moneygrubber ay? that's kind of harsh. she might just have a thing for bald guys who sweat a lot.
