Carlos Zambrano has been tricked into thinking he’s had such an awful season that he will retire at the end of 2010 he is not better than 2009. Someone should tell him that he’s had his best season since 2005 and that he needs to stop listening to the dumbass fans. “Look, this is the only season I haven’t won 16 or 18 or 14 games,” he said. “If it happens again next season, two seasons in a row, I’ll quit. Believe me, I’ll quit. I just have to put this behind me. Zambrano announced earlier this season that he would retire in 5 years and shortly after he won his 100th game he pushed it back to 5-7 years. Who knows what Zambrano will do? I’d just like to think he’s more intelligent than the average Cubs fan who shows up to boo him and give him **** because he’s richer than they are. I’d like to think that after the season ends he’ll take a look at what he did in 2009 and realize he had his best season since 2005. Zambrano’s 3.58 FIP is the best it’s been since 2004. His xFIP is the best it’s been since 2005 and his ERA is the best since 2005 as well. I’m probably being silly. It’s unlikely Zambrano is significantly more intelligent than the fan base that wants to trade him for a bag of balls. This is just pathetic. Zambrano has had a really good season and Cubs fans have convinced him otherwise.
