It came to my attention today just how crazy Carlos Zambrano has become after signing his massive contract. We know that he has a tendency to be fisty, just ask Michael Barrett's face. He also refuses to drink water/stop emailing his brother that leads to constant cramping in his forearm. He is also very bipolar on the mound given the fact that he threw a no-hitter last september, yet still finished the last two months with an ERA above 7.
But none of that compares to the bat-shit craziness that comes out of his mouth. Recently he said that his favorite team in baseball is the White Sox. Seriously Carlos? You couldnt pick any other team in baseball? Couldnt just say the Red Sox or Yankees or maybe even the Cubs perhaps. You know, the team that sends to a million dollar check every other Friday. Might want to reconsider your words next time, i dont care that Ozzie Guillen is your homeboy.
After a 2 day trip to the new Yankee Stadium, Carlos suggested that the Cubs tear down Wrigley Field and build a new billion dollar stadium to make Carlos feel better. Seriously Carlos? Only the most historic, renowned, loved ballpark in the entire country. You want to tear it down. I think Carlos just wants a new, bigger clubhouse so his ego can comfortably fit inside, let alone his ERA. Yes, the new stadiums are nice and pretty, but you cant replace the 80 year stench of beer that only Wrigley can provide.
Just pitch Carlos. Just pitch
