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

[kujay]

Now let Z be okay and dealing and all will be well...

[chuckywang]

Haha, Pat talking about how the Brewers' score flashed on the screen and the Miller Park fans cheered.

 

Insane.

 

I think the Astros are wearing their road unis to silently protest.

[Cynosure]

Hahahahah in one day... there is more people at this game at Miller Park then there ever is during the regular season.

 

Also, it is louder than it's ever been... love it... and suck it Brewers :)

 

This is wrong. The Brewers have been selling out for a while now.

 

Selling out and being full are 2 very different things.

Selling tickets are one thing, people actually walking through the turnstile is another.

Are the Cubs wearing their homes? I'm not watching.

Zambrano: 3 Pitches, 3 Balls

MLB.TV now lists the game as nationally blacked out !!!!!!!!!! :cray:

 

Down with ESPN and down with Bud Selig.

 

So the MIL/PHI game 2 is blacked out and the Cubs game is blacked out for me and I am NOT happy.

 

Not that I would advocate as much, but you can proxy around the system and say watch the game through Great Britain... just waiting for the start.

 

Good luck finding a free proxy server.

We both know that most of those will not work.

 

Lies, I get them to work all the time

 

How do you use them?

Erstad grounded out to second, 4-3

No, they have on their road unis.

oops didnt see fred here... no pbp from me Edited September 15, 2008 by Cynosure

Gameday has Z hitting as high as 95 already.

[PrimeTime]

Any idea at what Z's velocity is at?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bourn called out on strikes

[Cynosure]

98 and 99 from Z? Nah....

 

If he is... you should check what he's been taking these past few days, haha.

[kujay]

FSN Houston gun said 98 on strike three there. Wow.

[Hall7810]

Gameday has Z hitting as high as 95 already.

 

 

That fastball to Bourn looked good. No pitch speed for WGN. 98 and 99 according to Len, but I'm sure those numbers are cooked.

[Rob]

Gameday has Z hitting as high as 95 already.

 

Scratch that... the Bourn at bat had him hitting 96-98 in all 4 pitches.

[Hall7810]

Len and Bob think the gun's hot.

Do you really think Miller Park isn't packed most days, at least before the recent slide? This isn't a case like the 2006 Cubs where they sold a ton of tickets, the team ended up sucking so no fans wanted to go out there for the last month or so.

Nice inning... Z looks awesome tonight.

 

I love the sound in our backup ballpark.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 70-39 when they don't allow any runs in the first inning.... 18-19 when they do

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[kujay]

This is so awesome.

 

It may sound corny, but this makes me proud to be a Cub fan.

I've watched plenty of Brewers games on MLB.tv and it is very rarely this packed. This was 1 day of tickets being on sale (22 hours to be exact) and this place is packed.
