yeah that wasn't really all that close to being a strike.

The best part of this is Floyd coming into the game with the highest ERA among starters. Absolutely ridiculous, yet somehow funny.

Chicago baseball ladies and gentlemen!

Well in order for both pitchers to throw a no hitter, either the White Sox have to win or it has a be an extra inning no-no. I don't think we need extra innings, so hopefully the White Sox can get a run across without a hit so we can see some history.

Either team can score with walks, hbp, errors, etc. and have two no hitters in a normal 9 inning game.

 

If the Cubs score in the 9th or earlier, Floyd can't get 27 outs. And if he doesn't get 27 outs, he doesn't get an official no hitter.

[DiamondMind]

It's like they condensed the entire year of chicago baseball into one game.

CUBS are 20-17 when they get a quality start.... 7-18 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS!!

I'm pretty sure that if a pitcher doesn't pitch 9 innings it's not a technically a no hitter, so if the Cubs don't bat in the bottom of the ninth because the games over Floyd wouldn't get credit for a no hitter. I think Weaver lost a no hitter because of this a couple of years ago.

What do you mean? I'm saying if the Cubs scratched across a run at some point without getting a hit, the bottom of the 9th wouldn't be necessary so the White Sox wouldn't get a true no hitter. I want to see both teams get no-no's so for that to happen the White Sox have to be the team that gets the run across unless it were to go extra innings.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 4-6 when they're tied at the end of the 6th inning.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

Rios flied out to right field

If they had, there would be a lot more errors and gaffes. There's still time, I guess.

[98navigator]

I'm starting to get nervous...

I'm nervous that Lou won't let Lilly take his no-hit bid into the 12th inning of a scoreless game.

 

:lol:

You guys sure about that? A pitcher gets credit for a complete game in a rain shortened contest, after all.

 

If so, then baseball is terribly inconsistent with it's stats. Not that that's a big surprise.

Konerko flied out to left center field

They changed the rules for what constitutes a no-hitter. A rain-shortened no-no is not an official no-no.

OMG

I swear, if juan pierre breaks this up...

...you'll be the one I blame.

Let's get a hit this inning.

[TruffleShuffle]

the blackhawks should leave the ballpark immediately, just in case the stink of the cubs and white sox could rub off on them.

Are you sure about that? Wikipedia says the game must be at least 9 innings, which it will be.
