Carlos Zambrano just no-hit the Houston Astros in Milwaukee, where they were playing due to the Hurricane Ike rain-out in Houston. Zambrano gave up only one walk, got a hit and scored a run in the 5-0 Chicago Cubs victory.

I think Sweet Lou could run for Mayor of the Midwest and he'd win!
Ah, the dreaded triple-post-play!
Okay, I’ll admit I dislike the Red Sox as equally as the Cubs. Does that make you feel any better? :D
Simple. Just be born south of Madison Street.
Cubs Woo. This is the year.
I know, I know. I live in Illinois and just don’t like how Chicago politics dictate the policies for the rest of the state.
Great ball players come back from slumps! By the way, the Cubs are (still) 7.5 games ahead of Milwaukee.
Zambrano is batting .364. Would you care to name any other active pitcher that is batting this high?
The teams’ winning streak is 4-6 in their last ten games. WHO isn’t stepping up?
Zambrano hadn’t pitched since the 2nd of Sep.
Are you objecting or projecting?
LMAO!
If you only knew.
You need to relax.
Yes, I don’t care for them either. ;-D
Don’t judge Chi-town for our politicos or lack of spring and fall, plenty of decent folk trapped here. :-0
Ping!
Correction: Zambrano is batting .354, not .364, as reported in my previous post.
I’ll admit there’s no shortage of nice looking females out and about during the night scene.
OK! I am now taking a chill pill... ;0)
An interesting sidelight to this. Since the game was moved to 8-11 PM Sunday, it was in the ESPN national blackout period. MLB, and apparently ESPN, agreed that WGN could show the game in Chicago only. Alternate programming was shown on WGN America. However, if you had either Direct or Dish’s Sports package-access to all Regional Sports Networks-somebody dropped the ball and didn’t black out FSN Southwest. For instance, we should NEVER see live baseball on that channel here in Indiana. But, we did and along with our new SportsSync Radio tuned to Pat and Ron, we had a ball.
OOOPS! Forgot about that accuracy issue... 1-HPB, (and 1- BB). Thanks for the correction.
Humbly... I beseech thee... would you mind putting this Cubs knucklehead on the ping list?
There should be an asterisk in the record books. I doubt he would have thrown a no-hitter in Houston. Also, I bet the Houston players were a bit distracted.
He heh...!
I grew up one block north. A close call that still gives me the shivers.
No asterisk! Games were played during WWII. Do you think players’ minds then; were on the game, fighting, draft board, etc?
No excuses.
and...
No cheeseburgers.
