Carlos Zambrano

[vols kick balls]

Anyone see the fight today between him and his catcher? Lou said it happened again in the clubhouse after that too.

Zambrano might be working his way out of that $80 million extension that has been put on hold because of the sale of the team.

that didnt cause the fight. the fight was caused because barret missed a pitch and zambrano is fing crazy.

yea but im sure if that inning didnt consist of us scoring 5 runs that Zambrano wouldnt have threw a fit

i bet he would have

 

[hvwarrior58]

Yeah, as a Cubs fan, I know that Z would have thrown a fit anyways. I've been saying all year that he is overrated and we need to trade him. His value just keeps diminishing.

 

[getyopopcornready]

wow is he really that crazy?

 

[vols kick balls]

have you never seen him yell at himself while pitching? or throw all of those water coolers?

no i dont keep up with the cubs... i just figured that all the runs he gave up in the inning kind of got to him and the slightest little thing ticked him off

 

[hvwarrior58]

No, he has always been crazy, though not that bad.

i want to see what happened in the clubhouse.

 

[getyopopcornready]

i want to see if the fans were aware of what was going on at the time cause i saw the guy on deck try and act as if nothing was goin on

 

[GAVol]

I think TBS replayed the fight about 8 times from 3 different angles today during the 9th inning.

 

[Heebs]

Thats the kind of fire the Cubs need to turn this thing around!

 

[vols kick balls]

Apparently, Zambrano really f'd him up in the Clubhouse. Barrett got two black eyes, a cut lip (I think they said that needed stitches), and he got thrown into a locker.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I would be scared of Zambrano, he is crazy.

 

[tidwell]

Not to mention he's a big ol boy.

Barrett is probably thinking the whole time, "Do I want to fight him? He is my teammate... wouldn't this be kind of like hitting a woman? What do I do?"

The sound you hear is Zambrano's market value plummeting.

Exactly . . . I understand being emotional, but that hurts his trade value and kills his free agent value.

Having an ERA over 5 in his walk year isn't helping him, either.

Chicago . . . Where great arms go to die.

Chicago . . . Where great arms go to die.

When I first saw Kerry Wood, I felt his mechanics were such that an injury was inevitable. On the other hand, Mark Prior had textbook mechanics and broke down. They're simply cursed.

 

[hvwarrior58]

I agree with that exactly hat. Wood was doomed from the beginning. Just a horrible pitcher mechanically. As for Prior, in his one good year, I was saying that there was no way he would be injury prone because his mechanics are flawless. 2-3 years later, he hasn't pitched a season combined.
