The Zoner:
Good ol’ Phil Rogers never disappoints. Here’s a bit of his (over) reactionary piece about Big Z’s performance on Sunday against the White Sox.
Get Carlos Zambrano out of here, even if the Cubs have to give him away. He’s not the guy you want as the ace of a curse-busting team, and at this point, [...]

Yes, this is a sterling idea, Phil:
Get Carlos Zambrano out of here, even if the Cubs have to give him away.
