9/19 Cardinals (Wainwright) at Cubs (Mr No No), 1:20 CT, CSN

[splintersag]

After today's great comeback, the Brewers leave town and in come the Cards. Pitching for St. Louis is this guy:

(9-3, 3.20)

 

 

 

for the Cubs, we have the man, the myth, the legend, Carlos Zambrano:

(14-5, 3.41)

 

The magic number is now at:

Carlos might not get a no hitter today, but I think he's going to get a win. My prediction: Cubs 5, Cards 1.

 

Go Cubs!

Hoping both the Cubs and the Brewers do the same thing on Friday so the Cubs can clinch with a win on FOX on Saturday. Edited September 19, 2008 by soccer10k

Tomorrow. ;)

The answer: Carlos Zambrano and Johnny VanderMeer

 

The question: Who are the only two pitchers in history to throw back-to-back no-hitters?

[BigSlick]

It seems oddly soon for Zambrano to be starting another game. The No-No seems like it was just 2 days ago. Regardless, this has been one of the best weeks to be a Cubs fan possibly in a whole century.

Nothing winning or losing tomorrow will be great. If the Cubs win the Brewers might lose on purpose to steal our thunder.

[Schwarber Fan]

Just keep winning

 

Z, giving up a hit is unacceptable

[UMFan83]

Z you set the bar high, but I expect a no hitter tomorrow.

 

Also, not to knock the game thread, but on this board we either call say (Z!) or now we can use (Mr. No-No) in the title

I changed it to this :)

[17 Seconds]

I'd like to see Z on a pitch limit for this game.

I do to, especially if he gives up the no-no early in the game....

Can't get the game on TV tomorrow. Good things have happened in games I haven't watched recently. I would like to be able to watch a game again this year, but only have good things happen. Therein lies my dilemma.

[Brian]

less BB and HBP this time please.

Those leadoff walks will just eat your lunch.

[Soul]

Has Lou commented on how much Z will be used?

[SouthSideRyan]

27.

[BleacherBadger]

27.

 

Ha.

I don't know what you're talking about. :ninja:

Z is perfect thru 11, when Soto finally decides to end it, this time with two walk-off HRs in the same inning.

Heard Harrelson say the same during the White Sox highlights on 670 the other morning...

-1 I want to celebrate in Wrigleyville tonight, plus half the Cubs fans out there won't be able to see them clinch if its on FOX with the blackouts

[kujay]

Will mlb.tv black out the game here in St. Louis today?
