People always talk about guys having no-hit potential yet somehow they never get it. That's not a knock...just shows how hard it really is. Carlos Zambrano is always talked about in that manner....well after a bunch of close calls he finally got it done. Allows 1 walk and gets 10 strikeouts in a truly dominating performance under the strangest of circumstances. This was a Cubs/Astros game played in Milwaukee because of Hurricane Ike. A crazy amount of Cubs fans made the trip and turned it into a Cubs home game.
