For his antics during his last start, Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano was suspended for six games. If you haven’t seen it yet, be sure to watch the Carlos Zambrano video of his epic meltdown.
Following his tirade, the star Cubs pitcher was apologetic.
Said Zambrano: “I apologize for that. Like I said, I should have more control of myself in that situation. I just wanted to get out of that inning and win the ballgame. I didn’t say a bad word.

Don’t look now but the Chicago Cubs are inching ever so close to a playoff appearance, and dare we say… a possible World Series bid? Shhhh! But where would the Cubs be without guys like Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez, Alfonso Soriano and, let’s not forget, Carlos Zambrano? Probably not in first place!

Another great quote to pass on. Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Carlos Zambrano had to be lifted from Thursday’s game again the Cincinnati Reds for a cracked molar. Here’s what Zambrano had to say afterwards:
“I think I ate too much gum, and the gum has a lot of sugar,” Zambrano said. “I keep telling my daughter not to eat a lot of gum and I’m not a good example. I think my daughter today will be all over me at the house. I accept it.”

You heard it right. On New Years Day 2009, the Chicago Blackhawks will host the Detroit Red Wings within the frozen confines of Wrigley Field. No, there won’t be any ivy on the wall, but I’d imagine there would be plenty of snow on the field. I’m sure the bleacher bums at Wrigley will be in full force for this event. I wonder if the they will sell out the seats that sit across the street on top of the apartments? Hmm…
I guess the only other question is will Wrigley Field dwellers try to sing …read more

Today on the Thursday 10, I am going to post the top 10 current players I’d like to see become managers one day. And no, there will be no catchers on this list, because that would just be too realistic. On with the list!
10. Randy Johnson – The Big Unit – What a site it would be for Randy Johnson to walk out to trade lineup cards and go over ground rules. The 6-10 lefty would make for great television to see him running out to argue a call with an umpire.
9. Scott Rolen – One can …read more
