Zambrano

[veryzer]

This is my argument, and has been from day one:

Just because your #1 pitcher (and make no mistake, going into the season, Zambrano was #1) struggles to start a season (as he's done in the past), demoting him is not the wisest decision, especially when said pitcher is a raving lunatic, and especially when there are pitchers whose track records aren't even close to that pitcher's track record.

When the decision was made, I, and many others, thought it was retarded.

So he goes to the bullpen and actually regresses, goes batshit crazy, is suspended, and comes back and pitches the way he always has.

I believe that in my heart, if he isn't demoted, he rights the ship, doesn't get suspended, and wins 18 games while sporting a solid ERA.

I believe this because history says that's what's gonna happen. It's what's lways happened.

The Cubs created a mess when they demoted him, because it was a retarded decision. And it was retarded Gandalf, it was.

Now bt has made his feelings on this subject known, repeatedly, and though I admire his conviction and applaud him for being the lone voice in the forest, and am incredibly impressed with his powers of persuasion and his ability to argue, I am convinced that he's 100% wrong, knows he's wrong, and just likes to argue....or he really does work for the Cubs.

That's my stance, and even Clarence "bt" Darrow can't change it, no matter how hard he tries.
