108 Red Stitches
Carlos Zambrano has had some season. Arm troubles, trips to the DL, crazy wins, head scratching losses. This time, after not having pitched since September 2nd, Zambrano did something that no Cubs hurler has done in 36 years.
He tossed a No-No. Even with arm fatigue and not having faced live hitters in twelve days.
Imagine what he could do when he's finally healthy.
Zambrano walked one batter and hit another, the only blemishes on an otherwise perfect performance.
Zambrano wound up throwing 110 pitches, which might be cause for concern for Cubs fans, after all the pomp and circumstance is over.
Here's the odd part; Zambrano threw the no-hitter in Miller Park. Against the Houston Astros, who, the last time we checked, were not the Milwaukee Brewers. The game was moved to Miller Park (Brewers home field) because of Hurricane Ike.
