Oh Big Z, your theatrics are always entertaining (and sometimes frustrating). Frustrated with his 2009 season, Zambrano lashed out at himself with a lovely hissy fit:
“Look, this is the only season I haven’t won 16 or 18 or 14 games,” he said. “If it happens...

Confused by that title? Understandable. But get this: Apparently there is some other guy named Jay Cutler who is at the top of his sport. According to Fanhouse:

According to Style Points, this is what the Seahawks will be wearing tomorrow. I hope it’s not true.
I hope the Bears brought special light-filtering goggles to Seattle. As SP points out, the Seahawks gameplan appears to start with cornea rape.

I don’t even know what to say about this, I guess I just felt the need to share the sad sad state of affairs. As the Cubs try to go 7-3 down the stretch to avoid a sub-.500 decade (h/t: @NearlyNextYear), things just continue to unravel. Derrek Lee scored the game-tying run...
