Zambrano done after 2012? - Destined - 06-06-2009
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Randy Johnson won his 300th game on Thursday for the San Francisco Giants. Zambrano just turned 28 on Monday, and could reach the goal. But he dismissed it.
"Three hundred? Me?" Zambrano said. "No, I'll be out of here in five years."
How does he know?
"After this contract, I'm done," said Zambrano, who is signed through 2012 with a vesting option for 2013. "I'm serious. I don't want to play. I want to help this team, I want to do everything possible to win with this team, but after five years or four years, or whatever I have left on my contract, I just don't want to play.
"I want to stay home and see my daughters grow up and hang out with my family more," he said. "Do you know how many Mother's Days I spend with my mother? Do you know how many things I've lost in my life?
"It's good to be here, it's good to play baseball -- don't get me wrong," Zambrano said. "But five years, four years, whatever I have left in my contract, I will retire. That's it."<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

WTF?
Zambrano done after 2012? - Clapp - 06-06-2009
We'll see about that. Zambrano isn't one to always speak the truth. Still, he'll be 32 or 33, who knows what he is then anyway. Hadn't he also talked about going to the White Sox and/or Cardinals as well? I'd much rather he retire than do that. Z loves playing though, more than anybody on our team, and more than maybe anybody in the league. If he doesn't have a title by then, I'd expect him to keep pitching.
It's not worth worrying about now.

Well this just makes me feel sick inside. I mean, I know the world is ending in 2012, but the thought of him pitching for only three more years is gut wrenching.

Worry about it in 3 years. If we can win one before that, I don't give a shit what happens.

Eh, I think Z is just fucking around with the media. I highly doubt he has made up his mind what he wants to do in 5 years, and a lot of things could happen between now and then.

I read those comments last night. I don't believe a single word of it. If Z feels that he could have won a championship here and it doesn't happen, I'm pretty confident that he'll try to go somewhere else and win one.
Zambrano done after 2012? - Ace - 06-06-2009
I thought his comments were refreshing, and sincere. It might not actually play out like that, but I have no doubt that he meant it, and that it was one of the most mature things he's ever said.
