What Big Z Means to Us

Remember when there was a big three of Mark Prior, Kerry Wood, and Carlos Zambrano? This was way back when, it is a distant and painful memory for Cubs fans.

Now, with the Cubs reeling, on a losing streak, and terrifying Cubs fans everywhere, Caros comes back from the sidelines (not exactly the DL, but we had not seen him in a while) and pitches a no-hitter. I'm 36 and no one has come this close since I was literally a baby. I don't really remember Milt Pappas, how about you?

Once I heard what big Z had done, I knew that we were going to the postseason. September no-hitters don't come to teams destined to choke their way out of the postseason.
