This is a complete joke. If I were an Astros fan I would be extremely pissed right now. I thought Minute Maid was playable?

 

There is zero power in the City of Houston and they are still under a dusk to dawn curfiew.

It kinda pisses me off to turn the game on and see Miller filled with Cub fans. Oy ve.

Well, you would be fooling yourself to think it would be any other way.

Please don't let Zambrano throw a no-hitter

Through 7, now.

Got it.

 

S***.

Lordy how I hate Kasper's voice when he's happy. Surely he's got to be aware of how ridiculous he sounds. I wake up in the morning and I thank God he won't be calling postseason games.

Yawn.

 

I was watching Entourage and two friends texted me with "NO HITTER! CUBS WIN!" and "That's how we do it on the north side."

 

The 2nd one made me laugh.

Their no hitters even come after ours

Didn't matter where the game was tonight, nobody was going to touch Zambrano. The no hitter is nice for Z, but obviously means nothing other than that and the fact it proves he's healthy. It's amazing that Milwaukee is collapsing again, Ned Yost has to be the worst manager in baseball.

Z pisses a lot of people off w/ his personality - but my biggest gripe w/ today's athlete is their seeming dispassion regarding the actual in-game happenings. In that sense, Z is absolutely a positive force, i can't deny it. When you hear him explain it in a postgame, he's quiet, semi-embarassed and realizes he was acting insane during the game.

 

Like a fan, no?

Agreed 100 percent. That's why I have no problem with him, other than the fact he's on the Cubs.

How fitting that piece of s*** Erstad struck out hopelessly in that last at-bat. It reminded me of one of his pathetic at-bats against Zumaya (?) last year.

The part that really pissed me off was that they interupted the Sox game to show it

And he seems to have stolen the phrase "OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH BABY!" from the And 1 announcers.

As a follow up to Z's no hitter, Lilly is perfect through 4.

Good through 5.

the fact that this houston team is even in contention is such a horrendously awful joke

 

after oswalt their rotation consists of brian moehler, wandy rodriguez, randy wolf, and alberta arias....theres also a bunch of trash in the bullpen...

 

in addition darin erstad and geoff blum typically bat in the top 5 of that order....awful

Hitless through 6 . A diving catch on a sinking line drive in right center saved it. Edmonds got a great jump . 1 BB 7 K's

Gameday says he walked Berkman. But even getting no hit by Ted Lilly would be unbelievably pathetic.

You are right, my bad, he does have a walk. Berkman got picked off, so he's faced the minimum, that's what threw me off. Still, what are the odds of 6 innings (maybe more) of no hit ball the day after your teammate threw a no hitter?

Questionable error call on Ramirez to start the inning. Could have been called either way.

It took them a while to call it, but I thought that was definitely an error. Abercrombie is fast so that makes the call a bit iffy, but if Ramirez doesn't boot it he definitely throws him out IMO.

 

EDIT: There's a clean single. Now it's over.
