You know, Bennett, the weird thing about the no-no Hamels tossed against the Cubs was that, shortly thereafter, the Cubs took off on a MASSIVE run that changed everything for the franchise!  Cubs went on to make the playoffs and absolutely wipe the field with the Cardinals in 2015, before being blown away by Met pitching in the NLCS. 

Of course, the next year was OUR year!  All kick-started by the Cole Hamels no-hitter?

This year, we were looking damned good when the Mills+relievers no-no somehow happened - not long thereafter before we had our core-destroying 0-11 run that changed our Team in a completely different direction! 

I'm not at all sure how to think about no-hitters by or against the Cubs any more!
