0-3, 5.40 ERA in May

0-3, 6.14 ERA in June

2-2, 1.83 ERA in July

It's kind of weird how Wells was allowed to work through two months of shitty pitching and Z got yanked from the rotation after 4 rocky starts in April.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->


Butch's world:

Hendry: "Hey guys, you know who has had four bad starts? Zambrano"

Lou: "I know, but what can you do? "

Rothschild: "Well, if it were anyone else, I'd say give him some time to pitch through it. But not Zambrano. At the very least, he needs to be punished"

Hendry: "I know, let's stick him in the pen!"

Lou: "That would be totally fucking awesome, but we can't get by with a 4 man rotation. Especially in April"

All three: "Crap!"

five minutes pass.....

Rothschild: "HOLY SHIT!!!!! I just remembered, Lilly is going to be coming off the DL soon!"

Hendry: "A perfect storm!!!!!!! We get to punish Zambrano, like we all agreed, but we also have a body to fill out the rotation!"

Lou: "Yet again, fate smiles on the Cubs!"

Yep. You nailed it. Way to go.

I can't think it's weird that Zambrano was given such a short leash while the rest of our rotation was given all the slack they needed without it being a conspiracy theory?
