Zambrano and Barrett fight
- Thread starter CYdTracked
- Start date
I wish they could hit a baseball, much less get punched in the face.
If only Z could hit the zone like he did Mr. Barrett.
Do you really run into a lot of unrealistic Cubs fans? I am a Cubs fan and hang out with a whole bunch and we're usually waiting for the other foot to fall, just like when I'm cheering on the Cyclones. The last thing I'd call our fanbase is unrealistic. Of course you have the morons who call themselves "fans" saying we're going to win it every year but that happens with all teams.
It is going to be great when Zambrano leaves the cubs next season and signs with the Cardinals. The cubs will then go another 100 years with out a WS ring.
I have not seen the scrubs in the playoffs recently. They must be too busy gathering talent and waiting to make that push next season on their 100th anniversery of winning a meaningful game.
The birds also let Dan Haren go to Oakland. That kills me. LaRussa and Duncan screw up every young pitcher or dump them. I still want to know what the Hell they did to Ankiel to ruin him.
Must be true because you said it and backed up your claim with A LOT of evidence and/or arguments.
If anybody should go it's Hendry. The common denominator in all these crappy years. He's assembled the worst defensive outfield in the league, and locked up the worst of the lot for 8 years. Soriano doesn't really have a position on a NL team. Whoever buys the Cubs should bring in Billy Bean. He's done the most with the least over the years. They could spend the same amount of money and actually compete.
Well I'm a little late on this conversation!
The thing about all this, is you should have seen it coming. You look at how hard Z gets on himself for his mistakes, then add on some mental errors by others that costs even more runs, Z is definately going to show emotion on that. And with the incident last year with Barrett, I think he has anger management problems as well.
Its a shame to see such hostility coming from the clubhouse, but the fustrations are there with everyone. You dont think D-Lee holds a players only meeting, and the mangament have their meeting for nothing. There is an issue here and for whatever reason there seems to be no fix.
Jacque does seem to only be baggage at this point in time. He is a good player that could fit well as he did last year, but has no place this year.
As or championships, they usually cannot be bought. Most times than not you have to build within. The Mets tried last year and had no success. The Yanks have tried for years and still no success. Instead you get teams that just seem to have the chemistry for the year and everything just falls into place.

I can't believe Lou got an indefinately suspension from that tirade yesterday. Ok, maybe 1-2 games would have made sense so I'm curious how quick he is back in the dugout after he meets with MBL tomorrow. He kicked a little dirt, you knew with all the frustration the Cubs have right now he was going to blow up soon. I don't buy that he initiated the contact with the ump though, it looked like the ump was the one that bumped him.
My guess is 5 games. It's just a guess I really don't have anything to back it up.
What we do need now is a win, a win, and nothing but a win.

Baseball just needs to let these guys go and start at it with the umps. At least then it will be exciting to watch.
How are the Cubs so bad? I mean seriously...Zambrano has been their worst pitcher. Marshall, Hill, and company all have good ERAs. Their lineup is stacked but just aren't hitting. How can you not have 1 or 2 relief guys that are even serviceable???
You can ask the White Sox about that last part.
The Cubs are just constructed in a stupid way. Jacque Jones should not be the starting CF on any team. Alfonso Soriano should be a DH somewhere.
