I have been as patient as anyone with Z over the past 2 years, but this particular incident was on a whole other level of petulance and lack of class. I'm guessing that Z is frustrated with his career right now and trying too hard to show maturity and has kept everything bottled up for way too long. He needed to explode and let all the pent up frustration out at some point. That is good, I'll admit. The problem is that he picked the wrong fight at the wrong time with the wrong person. I have a hard time believing that Z will apologize to anyone this time, or even if he does, none of his teammates will buy that he is genuinely sorry. I think his time here is up and needs to go. Maybe not this season, but at the very least in the coming offseason. Such a typical Cubbie occurrence too. Our most successful pitcher in the past 20 years getting dumped at the lowest point of his career. It hurts me to say it, but Z fucked us this time, and hopefully for the last time. I sided with him when Lou moved him to the pen, but I'm over that now. The man is completely out of his mind, and I doubt he is either dedicated to or in any way loyal to this organization any longer. He needs to go away. This is most likely irreparable, possibly even moreso than the Bradley situation. Maybe the Mets would consider taking him off of our hands so that I can rekindle my dormant hatred for that team again.
