Big Z Throws First Cub No Hitter in 36 Years
“I guess I’m back,” pitcher Carlos Zambrano said on Sunday. “I’m a little confused right now. It’s a great feeling, a feeling that you can’t describe. I still can’t believe it.”
Believe it Z. Pitching for the first time since Sept. 2, and due to Hurricane Ike was cheered on by thousands of Cubs fans at the coined Wrigley Field North a.k.a. Miller Park in Miliwaukee, Zambrano put an emphatic stop to a red hot Houston Astro team.
This is the first no hitter thrown at Miller Park, and the Brewers weren’t even there.
To add insult to injury, the Brew Crew were swept in their day/night double header in Phili. The Cubs now have a 7.5 game lead in the division, and their magic number is 7.
