Zambrano blew up, but it was caused by Hendry and Lou's ultra short-sightedness. Zambrano's always been a time bomb, so why the fuck would you jerk him around the way they have this year? Makes no sense. Someone needs to go, but that person ain't Zambrano.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Why must everything devolve into an argument about Hendry/Lou? Zambrano is a professional baseball player and is expected to act like one, and though moving him to the bullpen wasn't a good idea I don't see how it justifies Z throwing a bat-shit insane tantrum because he's been shitty this season. Derrek Lee has never been anything short of a hard-working class-act.

I never said Zambrano was devoid of blame, he acted like a fool.
However, there's a track record here and it doesn't start with Zambrano. First it was Sosa, then Walker, then Mercker, some Hawkins, then a little Prior, Alou, and Patterson, some Barrett, Jones, and Marquis, a dabble of Bradley, and some Zambrano. The Cubs track record of throwing players under the bus is fucking outstanding.
