If you're a Chicago Cubs fan (or a loyal to baseball in general), you can thank the Phillies play-by-play announcer Harry Kalas and the TV production crew for helping you in the 9th inning. Kalas had openly stated several times "Eric Milton is X outs away from a no-hitter" and they ran highlights of previous no-hitters (Milton's in '99 and Millwood's in '03) right before the top of the 9th inning.

Update: Ok, so the Phils won anyway. But just know that Kalas helped make it interesting for ya's.
