9/14 Cubs: ZAMBRANO THROWS A FREAKING NO-HITTER

[CubmanPi]

Thread title should be amended accordingly. Effing awesome. I'm shaking so bad right now...

[JimSorgi]

Man, what a year for Soto. Has any catcher ever caught a no hitter and won ROTY and won the World Series in the same year?

CONGRATS CARLOS!!!

 

THANK YOU!!!

And yes, that is officially the first no-hitter ever thrown in Miller Park. By the Cubs. In a game the Brewers weren't involved in.

[AubCubFan]

Wow, I'm glad to share this night with you all. I'll never forget it

[RedFlash]

Somebody needs to download those last three outs...quickly.....................I am in the library of my school, and they are looking at me like I am some lunatic......

 

So I had to watch the game with the mute on.............so, please someone please download the last three outs, so I enjoy it with the sounds.......

 

CARLOS ZAMBRANO...............Welcome back, Mr. Ace...

[CubsBears29]

Oh, and to the genius who prevented me from watching that game in its entirety, go soapdrop yourself, ya stupid piece of Howry. :x

[GhostRunner]

I'm bawling ... this is incredible. My mom called me and just said, "Happy Birthday." I was so amped I couldn't even talk to her.

 

Thank you, Zambrano. Thank you, Soto. Thank you, Cubs. This was epic.

[Sammys Boombox]

OH BABY!!!!!!

[Schwarber Fan]

BCVM... pat and ron asap plz

[rawaction]

Strangely, only the 2nd best game anyone on the Cubs roster has ever pitched.

Fred, start a new thread and post this ^^^^

[Outshined_One]

Thread title should be amended accordingly.

 

Done!

[Ski]

Wow. Just wow. I don't care if I have homework. Today's game was unreal. My heart really didn't start racing until the 8th though.

 

I thought that last out was definitely going to be a walk. Erstad plrobably thought "Ah well, he can have the no hitter."

[Andy]

Remember all those times we said it was going to be some idiot like Marquis that threw the no-no?

 

I'm so happy it wasn't. :D

 

CARLOS ZAMBRANO

[Sammys Boombox]

BCVM... pat and ron asap plz

 

I need to hear that. I haven't yet.

[abuck1220]

chicago media just laying an egg right now...nothing on comcast or non-chicago wgn.

[erik316wttn]

And yes, that is officially the first no-hitter ever thrown in Miller Park. By the Cubs. In a game the Brewers weren't involved in.

 

I thought Verlander did it in Milwaukee last year.

[bukie]

Strangely, only the 2nd best game anyone on the Cubs roster has ever pitched.

 

What's the game score for this one?

[bearjuice]

I've been following this team since I was in grade school in the early 80's - first Cubs no-hitter that I've ever seen, of course.

 

Nice game, Z. Let's keep this momentum going through October.

[Ski]

Man, what a year for Soto. Has any catcher ever caught a no hitter and won ROTY and won the World Series in the same year?

That would have to be some sort of record.

[JimSorgi]

And yes, that is officially the first no-hitter ever thrown in Miller Park. By the Cubs. In a game the Brewers weren't involved in.

[EhDubya]

Ironically, it was done against Houston, the club that Wood dominated for 20 Ks and what should have been our last no-hitter. In my mind, the Cubs now have two guys in staff who have reached that elite status of domination. Edited September 15, 2008 by EhDubya

[erik316wttn]

Hopefully that cools the Astros off.
