At this very moment the ASTROS control their playoff destiny, they are tied in the loss column with Milwaukee and Philly.

Of course we are getting tossed in a NO HITTER by Zambrano.....now, but as of right now.

Milwaukee, Philly and Houston all have 67 losses.

Some jackass Cubs pitcher is pitching a no-hitter.

 

espn front page already... no hitter...

I did my part in the jinx i guess.

 

If this holds, Zambrano and the Cubs get the biggest * in the history of sports for this.

 

I'm an idiot I guess but I didn't realize the Astros flew into Chicago TODAY. I hear they didn't even get there until around 2pm. Brown said something like this was the first time he ever remembers the Astros traveling and playing on the same day.

 

Yup. Astros had about a three-hour flight... Cubs had about an hour drive to play in front of 20,000 rabid fans, all for our "home" game.

If this team misses out on the playoffs by one game (or two, if they lose tomorrow), I hope they raise bloody hell over this all offseason and expose Selig for the cowardly piece of **** he truly is. This makes the NBA ref scandal look like nothing by comparison -- after all, in this instance, it's the freakin' commissioner of the damn league who did it, all by himself.

 

Also consider that not only were they the only flight out of the airport, their charter was the only plane even there.

I know they got games to play, but MLB should have been a little bit more understanding and sympathetic of the situation...pretty much no one in the Houston area except for essential personnel had to work today...last I checked a baseball team doesn't constitute essential personnel.

All that needs to be said.

 

This is such a load of bull****. Another reason why Selig is an absolute turd. C unt.

 

I'm so disgusted right now.

 

Like I said home or away we would have lost this game.

 

I hope they fall hard in the playoffs...or how bout the Astros beat the crap out of them in our actual home park on the last game of the season to clinch the Wild Card, then go on to beat them in the Divisional Series.

 

Astros pitchers shoulda beaned Zambrano when they had the chance.

 

On ESPNews, they just something like "we'll get back to talk to Carlos Zambrano about his no-hitter in Milwaukee in a home game for the Cubs".

I assume he was joking but it actually sounded like he just made a mistake. I can't blame him, either way.

 

you mean nlcs

 

This is complete bull****... **** Selig.

 

they shouldn't have had to play today....astros should have gotten another day off before playing on monday.

 

You have no clue how the Stros would have played at Minute Maid in front of their home crowd.

 

The Cubs first no-hitter in 36 years on a day the Astros had to travel and play a game on the same day - right after Hurricane Ike ravaged Houston.

I am trying to keep cool but I'm stunned right now.
