Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I might be the only Cubs fan to have accomplished this amazing feat. Last year, when Jake Arrieta threw his no-hitter against the Dodgers, I had caught every game on the West Coast road trip except for one. Guess which one... I stupidly agreed to move my band's L.A. gig from the previous Sunday to the next Sunday. What's the big deal? I'll only miss one game! So I watched Jake pitch his first no-no from the venue's bar instead of at Dodger Stadium.
Then, just last night, due to my day job, I couldn't leave for my weekend in Cincinnati until about 1 p.
