No-hitter Alert

More complete Cubs thoughts in the near future, but for now congratulations to Carlos Zambrano for throwing the team's first no-hitter since Milt Pappas in 1972. Zambrano no-hit the Astros, and faced one over the minimum, allowing a hit by pitch and a walk that was negated by a double play. The game was played in Milwaukee after Hurricane Ike hit Houston this weekend, making this quite possibly the first "neutral site" no-hitter ever*.

*In truth, the crowd was mostly Cubs fans as you might expect.
