Chicago Cubs pitcher Zambrano throws a no-hitter in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE -- The Cubs were eager to get Carlos Zambrano back in the rotation. On Sunday night, he showed why.
Zambrano threw his first career no-hitter and the first by a Cubs pitcher in 36 years as Chicago beat the Houston Astros 5-0 in a makeup game played in front of a very pro-Cubs crowd of 23,441 at Miller Park.

It's the second no-hitter in the Major Leagues this year. Boston's Jon Lester also did so May 19 against Kansas City.

The two teams had been forced to relocate after Hurricane Ike struck Texas and the Houston area Saturday morning.

Seems like I remember Pappas spent alot of time with Baltimore and came to the Cubs later on in his career, anyway, wow, go Cubbies.

Yep, I think that is right but I was a little to young to remember that. I just remember as a kid thinking he had a funny name. And as you know he was the last Cubby to throw a no-no.
