Wow, time flies by. One of the all time great pitching performances. But I think a lot of people have forgotten over time that it probably should have been a no hitter.

I will never understand why this wasn't called an error. What are you thoughts?

If it occurred later in the game, it would have been.

I want to see a replay of the HBP. I think Biggio's arm may have been over the plate, as that was his lame trick he got away with all the time.

I watched that game. I thought when Prior came up the Cubs would be dominant for years - sucker!

They were set up to have a dominant rotation for years. It's amazing how Wood only had 1 year of 14 wins in the big leagues.
