After another fun time at the old ballpark gagging away a lead to the Cardinals, Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano decided to do something that apparently you just can’t do.
He told the truth.
He wasn’t ranting and raving like a lunatic, he was standing in front of his locker relatively calmly saying everything that everybody who watched Sunday’s game…and the 56 games before it, already knows.
Hey, where did the rest of this go?
Well, it’s become my debut article for SB Nation Chicago. It still exists, it’s just “there” now. I’ll be writing about our exciting Cubs there from time to time, and instead of running this column in two places today, just go over there and read it, OK?
I will now haunt you forever when I play you guys
Actually, we stinx.
Listen, just put the heat on me. I decided to pitch to Albert again even though I couldn’t sleep Saturday cuz I know I screwed up. I screwed up again, but that’s part of the game ok? ok? I still feel like we will turn this season around.
I’ll admit it. The two game winners by Albert got a
“SWUNG ON AND BELTED!!!!!” from me as I sat in my chair drinking some apple juice as I ate animal crackers
That Albert is a great guy. He left me 30 boxes of Krispy Kremes outside my hotel door. With a note that said “add a million after 30”. What does that mean? I’m getting 30 million donuts??

How come we can’t use our SB Nation names to comment on your post over there? I can’t stop laughing that you and Al now write for the same site. Do you guys go to staff meetings together?
Does Al work for you now?
Al’s office is just down the hall. Actually, he doesn’t have an office, he shows up two hours early and sits on top of a cubicle about 480 feet away from the conference room.
Good article. Of course I never tire of complaining about Samarzdjia and the 13.23 ERA he is on track for. If you could have gotten a shot in on him it would be the perfect article.
