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.

It has a lot to do with the city of Chicago itself.

I bet you're really going to be hating life when it's a White Sox-Cubs World Series.

I think Sweet Lou could run for Mayor of the Midwest and he'd win!

And Lou has a lot to do with the Rays being in the position they are today.

Great, now the UF fans are chiming in. :D

73. He had 20 homers 77 ribbies and the cubs ship him to the Sox for the 74 season.

That’s my dream as a fan of both clubs.

I don’t see the need for the intercity rivalry. I’d rather have 2 bites of the apple as a fan.

[Impy]

So what’s your team?

[jch10]

WOOOOO HOOOOO! GO CUBS GO!

[randomhero97]

Braves baby! I do wish we could get rid of Booby Cox and get a real manager like Lou, though.

Thanks CH, I couldn’t get on FR last night.
I had to go to the YahooFRclub to find out
what was going on.

I still dont know.......What the hell was going on last night??

I was wondering what Brave’s fans think of Cox.

I thought you were gonna contend this year...

I’m still surprised you only won 1 World Series with Maddux(your welcome)/Smoltz and Glavine.

At least your GM made smart move by not giving up a fortune to keep Andruw Jones...what the heck happened to him.

[randomhero97]

Bobby Cox has very well managed past his prime. He's is very appreciated for building the Braves into a competing team but he has made many bone-headed managerial decisions in the post season. This is a quote I took from a poster from the Braves message board that sums it up:

"Smoltz, Glavine and Maddux sure did make Cox look good until the postseason (except 1995). Winning in the regular season was generally a no pressure situation but when it came to crunch time (postseason) Cox failed to prepare the team and make the right in game decisions. The postseason is when a manager actually has to MANAGE in a sudden death situation. Winning only 1 WS in 14 attempts is...IMO...a very poor record...

[Impy]

I agree, 1 for 14 is lousy.

If it were football he’d have fired for repeatedly failing in the post-season.

[randomhero97]

Oh yeah, I not a big fan of the Cubs but I'm not a big hater like I am making myself out to be. I saw this thread and just had to get you guys in a tizzy.

I live 15 minutes from downtown St. Louis (live on the Illinois side). So in 04 when the Cards played the Red Sox in the WS I bought a Boston hat and wore it proudly even though I'm not a Boston fan.

[Impy]

I get the feeling the country was rooting for Boston.

I didn’t get the sense they cared about the also “cursed” White Sox in ‘05.
