Zambrano Is Out Of Control!!!!!!!

Carlos Zambrano will make $18 million this season while he has a record of 3-6 5.66 ERA. This has been a common theme with the Chicago Cubs, players making a lot of money and not producing numbers to equal the pay they receive. He is making $18 million dollars, and is not even ranked in the top 100 in the MLB with that ERA.  That is only half the problem, the other half is between his ears. Zambrano has had anger issues for a while now, and it finally became an issue when he went ballistic and Derek Lee called him out on it. So Zambrano is suspended indefinitely and he should be, but what do you do with him? He makes a lot of money, and his numbers are Triple-A numbers. You can't send a $18 million dollar a season player to Triple-A Iowa, you just can't. I think the Cubs should hold onto him a for a little bit, see if he can start to pitch good again, and then trade him. Right now he is worth less than he has ever been, so don't trade yet, and don't release him, this is a business, you got to get a return for the guy if you can. Last year it was Milton Bradley, and this year its Carlos Zambrano. I think its Cub fans turn to be ballistic about this so called product of a baseball team. Instead of the famous White flag with the Blue "W" flying, it should just be WHITE!

The Cubs are 9.5 games behind the Cincinnati Reds for first place. And yes I said the Reds, and that is the thing, nobody is running away from the pack in this division. It has been an average division, but the Cubs are trying to gain ground on Pittsburgh who is 16.5 games out of first. Pittsburgh is a 34% winning team, yet they have beaten the Cubs 9 out of 12 games this year. I'm convinced that Triple-A Iowa could beat Chicago in a best of seven series. Pittsburgh is no different than a Triple-A team, and they have been since the day they lost Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonilla. Its like Major League 3 when the Salt Lake City Buzz beat the Minnesota Twins. The Cubs are just like that Twins team in that movie. The movie wasn't good, so don't bother wasting your Netflix one movie at a time on that thing. Its time to clear house in Chicago. The General Manager has made his last bad decision. I like Soriano, but he is way over paid. The Cubs are #3 in MLB in payroll behind Yankees, and Red Sox. 11 teams in the National League have a better record than the Cubs, and 10 teams in the American League making it 21 teams ahead of them. The Kansas City Royals only have one more loss than the Cubs, and have the same amount of wins. I can only name one Royals player and that is Zach Grienke because he won the Cy Young Last year. Living in Des Moines, there is a huge difference between the Cubs franchise and the Royals franchise. One is a classic car, and the other is a Dodge Neon, but right now they are both sitting in the junk yard, just one has a lot more money sitting in it.
