Say What You Will: Nobody No-Hits The Cubs

Few would argue the Chicago Cubs past to be triumphant. Besides those championships back in '07 and '08 (I'm talking 1900's here) it's been a pretty bleak century. We've all witnessed a heckuva lot more losing than winning, but one thing you haven't witnessed too often is the Cubs being No-Hit. Sure we lose, but we usually get at least one hit.

In fact, the Cubs hold the Major League record for consecutive games played without being No-Hit. The last time it happened was back on September 9, 1965 when old Sandy Koufax tossed a perfect game. That is a streak of 7,228 games (if my math is correct) and is more than 200 game better than any other team in the history of Major League Baseball.

In unrelated news: Roy Halladay is set to pitch against the Cubs tonight.
