cant say why.

You must be talking about the Cubs-Astros game. ESPN here has the Tigers-White Sox on. Luckily, I have MLB extra innings, so we're watching the Cubs-Astros now...

I got up to get my baseball-loving 9-year-old out of bed to watch the Cubs-Astros and wound up posting my previous message in the wrong thread.

It's in the 9th now...

OK I managed to figure out it wasnt the #1 network game Rogers Sports had it on 2/4 channels when they have the ESPN game it is 4/4 channels.

Insult to injury, in the unlikely chance anyone from South Texas cares about schoolboy games today, in the NEUTRAL field of The Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Miller Park, merely an old-fashioned Electroliner ride north of North Chicago....

Carlos Zambrano no-hits the Astros, combining 92-93 MPH fast ball and some mean breaking stuff. And went 1 for 3 himself. Raising his lifetime batting average of .240 a bit more.

(heck if they had wanted neutral I'm sure somebody could have vacuumed up the Olympic Stadium here in MTL....)

Yay! I almost got to watch Denny McLain throw a no-hitter, except he didn't throw one, and Grandpa Lawrence couldn't get tickets to the game.

Someday I'll get to see a no-hitter. Probably not at Coors Field though.

I'm guessing you weren't at Coors when Hideo Nomo threw his no-hitter there. I wasn't either; I had moved back to Texas by then. But I was at Arlington Stadium the night Nolan Ryan threw his 7th. Watching the crowd on its feet in that ninth inning last night brought back memories of that.
