That's 4 no hitters that Varitek has caught now. Surely the most ever I'd think.

 

Lester, Buchholz, Nomo ... I'm blanking on the 4th.

[genbar]

Man, it feels good to know the Cobs are patient at the plate these days

Derrek lowe?

 

Varitek's now tied with former White Sox catcher RAy Schalk.

"Ray Schalk holds the record with four no-hitters caught"

 

This was created before 10 minutes ago, of course. Now he's tie.d

Strike one on soriano is juuuustt a bit outside

[islandcub]

Shut up Phillips.

[Sludgeworth21]

Berkman can't wait to get to the dugout and chow down.

 

Watching Berkman empty an entire package of sunflower seeds into his gaping maw made me laugh.

 

I want to see him take the field while gnawing on one of those huge turkey legs.

Soriano struck out swinging

[killthegoat06]

Do the same umpires ump the entire series?

[AFCubsFan]

Soriano having a tough night....maybe that means DLee will totally snap out of it. BB has a theory that having a hot player means another player gets cold. It's the worst theory I've ever heard.

[hotshot13422]

yes, different positions though

[OleMissCub]

15 catchers have caught 3 no-hitters and 2 have caught 4: Ray Schalk and Varitek.

 

You might recall that Schalk was the "clean" catcher for the Black Sox in 1919.

[Careless]

Nice job, Soriano.

[Laura]

yay one run!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Damn Ronny!

[CubsGM]

What the hell Cedeno

[hawkcub]

Not good running cedano.

[Mizzou]

Nice job, Theriot.

 

Ronny, what the hell was that?

[BCVM22]

Dag nabbit Ronny

[17 Seconds]

Cedeno will never play again

[AFCubsFan]

Cedeno with a 2007 moment on the basepaths.

[splintersag]

Do the same umpires ump the entire series?

 

They rotate, according to a post earlier in this thread. The home plate umpire switches to first base tommorow, etc.

 

EDIT: Oops, got beat.

Big hit by Theriot.

 

I love how these Astros fans cheer on getting Cedeno out even though the run scored. Smart.
