Sometimes it's OK to stay up late. (Even on a school night)

My 7 year old convinced my wife to stay up past his bedtime tonight (I needed no convincing). 

He wanted to check the Cubs score and saw that Zambrano had a no hitter in the 7th inning

The deal was, one hit and he was off to bed

Luckily Zambrano completed the No-No.

What a thrill it was to watch the end of that game with my boy!

Rick,

That turned out well for both of you - did your son have a feeling about the outcome?

Endre- Yes, Cubs fans and Red Sox fans have much in common.  Hopefully for the Cubs fans we can have one more thing in common (championship).

Steve - He knows no hitters are pretty rare.  It kind of hit home for him when I told him the last time the Cubs threw a no hitter I was three!  Every batter he kept saying,"Please don't get a hit, please don't get a hit"

Liz - yes, very cool!

And it almost happened again tonight. The Cubs took a no-hitter into the 7th, and Houston finished with just one hit!

RR, sorry about the Padres! hehehe

John, yeah, I got about 5 texts in the 6th inning.  Crazy that they can loose for a week (felt like a month) and come back with these two gems!
