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

[Schwarber Fan]

How many in a row has Nieve retired?

[Cynosure]

I'd pull Z at 6IP or 80, no-hitter or not....

 

Good luck with that. Wouldn't want to be the person to have to do that, and I guarantee you they won't.

How many in a row has Nieve retired?

 

He retired 7, but 10 overall with the new pitcher.

[Hall7810]

Sleepy-time for the offense.

[BCVM22]

Am I allowed to request insurance runs with a 5-run lead?

[RedFlash]

How many in a row has Nieve retired?

 

Too many in a row for my liking...

[Mizzou]

Zambrano would beat the s*** out of Lou is he tried to pull him with a no hitter.

[kujay]

Am I allowed to request insurance runs with a 5-run lead?

 

Absolutely. For me, it comes down to scoring as many runs as possible so we don't have to use up all the decent arms in the pen. With no more off days, that's going to be the key.

[Drew Doughty]

100 pitch no-no would sit well with me

Me too.

 

Astros announcers complaining about not having matching shoes. There's probably a lot worse things for him to complain about.

 

I hate opposing announcers when they play the Cubs. They are ALWAYS so bitter... I never hear Len and Bob bashing opposing teams. They needs to grow up and do their job instead of complain how much of a following the Cubs have.

 

Well this is random. The Astros guys have been fine so far.

These guys are TERRIBLE tonight. All it really is bitch, bitch, bitch. Granted, look where they came from and what they're watching, but this is really really bad.

[Sammys Boombox]

I'm happy with 5 runs, but don't just roll over like this. Get some hits and try to tack on...

[Mizzou]

Not to get too far ahead here, but assuming these scores hold up, our magic number becomes 7 right?

[Guest]

I'm sure Z is on a pitch count.

I'm not watching the Astros broadcast... but last year whenever I had to watch road games I couldn't tolerate the announcers for other teams and how bitter they all are.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Quintero struck out swinging

Yes.

I'm sure Z is on a pitch count.

I asked earlier here and no one had heard anything. Normally Lou is pretty forthcoming about this kind of stuff, so I'm not sure if he is.

[Hall7810]

Matt Cassel's brother is a relief pitcher for the Astros?

[BCVM22]

Sackofmanure strikes out looking.

[Cynosure]

Z IS FILTHY RIGHT NOW
