This will FOREVER be known as the first no hitter in Miller Park.

The Cubs even managed to steal that honor away from the Suds. You can’t change history and Zambrano will always be able to say he had the first no-hitter in Miller Park…in front a house full of Cubs fans!!

And didn't Ken Holtzman pitch one shortly before that?

And didn’t Burt Hooten pitch one for the Cubs as well?

Hooten and Pappas were in 1972. Holtzman's were in 1969 and 1971 (I think...)

Maybe

That last week in 2004 was a blur for me…I was doing campaign work and had college mid-terms, so you could be right.

Could today have been a better day?

From a magic number of 10 in the beginning of Sunday, to 7 at the end of it.

And Zambrano threw a no-hitter.

"Yes it's true. Everyone knows that I've pitched. I make sure of that. I have nine different pitches, all of which are awesome. I have a 0.00 ERA, got one out, throwing all knuckleballs. I don't remember who I faced -- some dude from Ole Miss." - Ryan Theriot

Let's not forget to give credit to Soto

Nobody throws a no-no by themselves. Huge props to Soto, who by rights should have just clinched rookie of the year.
