All in all, not too bad on the pitch count either.

The only long atbat I can really remember was to Berkman.

Just an amazing performance, thanks Big Z!

From what I recall, there were only two balls put in play by Houston that I felt might be hits off the bat....the one line drive that went right at DLee and then Blum's drive to right field in the 8th. Everything else was routine.

I don't remember who made the second out of the ninth, but I remember not knowing who it was at the time either, and when I saw Riot back up to play the second hop and remembered about his weak arm, I was a little worried that it may have been someone fast enough to beat the throw headed toward first.

 

Run-on sentences are fun.

That would be Jose Castillo.

Yeah, as soon as I saw it take that high hop, I said "Oh Howry" knowing Riot has a pretty weak arm, figuring it would be an infield single.

 

Glad I was wrong.

And short of the Cubs winning the World Series or clinching the NL pennant, this is the most special moment in my time as a fan I do believe. I always wanted to see a Cubs no hitter....I remember when Jose Guzman came within one out against Atlanta in 1993.....OMG it finally happened. It happened. \:D/ \:D/ \:D/

 

I remember the Guzman game as well. Watched it in my best friend's basement. I think it was one of his first starts with the team...sigh...such high hopes we had.

I was hoping Lou would slide Cedeno to short and move DeRo to second when he brought Kosuke in because I was scared someone was going to beat one out because of noodlearm, and my heart skipped a beat on that play.

That was one of the more subdued Santo reactions after a big moment.
