Zambrano Responds To Rogers Article

Found June 30, 2009 on Another Cubs Blog:
PLAYERS: Carlos Zambrano
TEAMS: Chicago Cubs

Zambrano responds to Tribune fan pollZambrano was asked by Paul Sullivan about the poll in which Cubs fans effectively trade Carlos Zambrano for a sack of baseballs and he said, “Fine, trade me to Boston.” You have to like Zambrano.“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.”I might finally watch another Rocky movie if it has Zambrano in it. How can you not like this guy?

Z Pays You No Mind

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...

Phil Rogers, Still Wrong About Everything

Via MVN  |  June 29, 2009
Yes, this is a sterling idea, Phil: 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, it's wishful thinking that he'll ever mature into that guy.Proving that I did not attend Kellogg, Wharton or even the Acme School of Business, I offer this proposition for Jim Hendry...

It’s Not Zambrano, Phil, it’s the Offense (or Lack Thereof)

Via The Big Lead  |  June 29, 2009
Carlos Zambrano: Columnists exist mostly to stir passions and make bold proclamations and drive radio chatter. This, from Phil Rogers, qualifies: “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, it’s wishful [...]

Phil Rogers Should be Replaced by a 32-year-old Blogger

As Lou Piniella was saying on Friday, enough’s enough. Alright! I love articles that start out with platitudes like this! Usually, they’re followed by shaky logic and over-reaching, knee-jerk reactions. Let’s see where this one goes… 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...

Great Moments in Selection Bias

Via The Hardball Times  |  June 30, 2009
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...

Cubs won't win World Series until they clean house

Via MVN  |  June 30, 2009
This is not about a billy goat, a Bartman, or some new Century Club Curse hanging over the Chicago Cubs. Yes, the Cubs haven't won a World Series in over 100 years now, but it's no longer about a lack of talent or a propensity to choke. Everybody wants to bury the Mets this week for their underachieving ways, but at least their struggles can be largely related to their lineup...
