Carlos Zambrano doesn't much care what you think:
PITTSBURGH -- Carlos Zambrano had some fun with an unscientific Tribune fan poll in which 57.2 percent of respondents said he should be moved, as Phil Rogers suggested in a column Monday.
"Fine, trade me to Boston," Zambrano said.
Last weekend Zambrano said he would play for only two other teams than the Cubs -- Boston and the White Sox. But apparently he changed his mind about the White Sox now that he knows pitching coach Don Cooper doesn't care for him.
In truth, the Cubs can't send Zambrano anywhere without his approval.
"Got the no-trade clause, man," he said.
Any other team in the National League he would consider being traded to?
"The Dodgers," he said.
Why the Dodgers?
"Can you see me in Hollywood?" he said. "Me and (Sylvester) Stallone? Rocky VI."
Zambrano then began shadow boxing in the middle of the clubhouse. Very strange, this Cubs bunch.
If Paul Sullivan thinks you're strange, well, that's saying something I suppose.

Great Moments in Selection Bias
Yesterday, the Chicago Tribune's Phil Rogers opined -- ridiculously, I noted -- that the Cubs should waive Carlos Zambrano. Tribune readers agree:
Your team wants Carlos Zambrano? Go ahead, take him.
That's what I proposed after Zambrano turned in another knuckleheaded performance on Sunday at U.S. Cellular Field. I suggested Cubs GM Jim Hendry put him on waivers and essentially...
