    Incredible!

    So where does this leave the rotation? Are they going 6 man with McCullers and VV in the bullpen?

    Don't forget he almost didn't pitch tonight... He was in the pen warming up in that extra inning game against the Rays.

    I told one of my friends earlier today that we really needed tonight's gm, because I was thinking we may get no-hit by Kershaw or Greinke over the weekend after Archer shut us down last night.

    Now this. I likey :grin:

    It was great seeing him wanting it that much and coming through in style.

    I remember listening to Darryl Kile's no hitter on the radio with my family when I was 6 years old. One of my earliest childhood memories. This brings me back to those feelings. Awesome night for Fiers and Astros baseball.

    Historic night in Astros history! Congrats, Fiers!

    I'm glad to have seen it. Nolan Ryan with the standing O.

    How sweet it is!
