I hate Carlos Zambrano

[ugafan247]

Every time I see Zabrano's constipated looking face, I want to punch it

Step right up!! 3 Swings for a dollar folks!!

My favorite thing is watching his blow-ups. He's up and down vs. Milwaukee, but when a team lays the wood on him, it's like watching and annoying child get beat....soooooo satisfying.

Not too shocking, but the Cubs fans haven't come in to defend him.

The only bright side of this whole mess is atleast he wasnt throwing at his head.

Zambrano is, at heart, a self-centered baseball player. His retirement would be a glorious moment for the Cubs but there's no way he'll pass up on those millions of dollars Jim Hendry was stupid enough to give him.

Thank goodness for Carlos Zambrano

Aside from the fact that these players all commited actual crimes, there are people here old enough to remember how Bob Gibson, Al Hrabowski, Tommy LaSorda, et al from that era reacted after a player homered off them, right?

Zambrano is a head case and a tool, but he is far from the worst individual in baseball, and Bonds was and is WAY more hated than Z

So Zambrano isn't a colossal ****** because he didn't commit an ACTUAL crime. Cool. Charles Manson was a model citizen because he didn't ACTUALLY murder anyone. 

And yes, I remember how Gibson reacted. He took his subconscious anger at himself (for his own failures) out on someone who had absolutely nothing to do with it, by pelting him with a 94 mph fastball. Bob Gibson was a bitch. So is Carlos Zambrano. So is everyone else who blames others else for their own suckitude

Man up, *****

Hard to defend him this time after finding out he cleaned out his locker.

I will say this though, I would love to play with guys like this, as opposed to playing with a bunch of players who play the game by just "going through the motions" and playing for the paycheck. I would love to play with guys who cared so much about winning that they show a lot of emotion when things aren't particullary going well.

I do not condone his actions at all, but guys who play the game with that much emotion and fire are good for the game of baseball.

Look the real fans. I'm one of them will not defend him. So don't be surprised. We have seen this act before and it needs to be handled and then Jim Hendry needs to be fired for not releasing him when he did this the last time. He is a head case.

 

[alabamalongsnake]

Gilmore you are dead wrong on this one pal -

As a Braves fan it's a guaranteed win. Like taking batting practice when he's out there.

About Bonds?

I didn't mention it because this thread isn't about Barry Bonds

 

[sportscardtheory]

The guy is only 30 years old with a career ERA of 3.57 and 1,500+ Ks. He just needs a change of scenery.

I've wanted him outta Chicago ever since his fight with Michael Barett.

Look at the 47 second mark of the ejection video.

If I was in Chicago right now, I would be partying in the streets like they just won the series.

I was at the game a few years ago in Seattle ago where they announced Betancourt(worst WAR that year) had been booted. ... everyone was shitfaced by the 3rd inning :lol:

Id also be partying in the streets, and Im not even a Chi fan

To be fair, Michael Barrett was a massive bitch too.

two schools of thought:

1) Cubs have a tradition of losing, Zambrano is a loser, marriage made in heaven. Zambrano went out there and did what the cubs needed - a loss.

2) Zambrano should get an Academy Award! If the Cubs and Zambrano behind the scenes orchestrated a trade, I could see Zambrano going out there and acting like a headcase (instead of it just happening) and it makes it easier to get him through the waivers process to trade him as I don't think any team in their right mind would pluck him off the waiver wire in the next few days after seeing his actions on Friday.

 

[ChasHawk]

The Cubs have a tradition of losing?

WS wins aside, I'm guessing nobody here realizes they have the 2nd most wins in MLB history.

They're also 817-801 over the last 10 seasons and have won their division 3 times.

Not saying that Zambrano's not a POS, but I'm tired of all the random Cubs-hate ********.

And just for the record, Zambrano has a career record of 125-81 with a 3.60 ERA and a 123 ERA+

He's among the league leaders in win% If he doesn't retire, somebody will pick him up...period
