Cubs haven’t talked to Zambrano about tirade
The Chicago Cubs must be having a lot of fun with Carlos Zambrano this year. First, he stunk up the joint as a starter and had to be sent to the bullpen. Then they brought him back as a starter, where he decided to unload on his teammates.
On Friday, Zambrano gave up four runs in the first inning. To end the inning, he stomped on first base to make the final out, then headed into the dugout to rip his teammates for not playing hard enough behind him.
So far, it seems that the team has not spoken with Zambrano about the incident.
“I think until something gets rectified, I think probably the less conversation the better,” Cubs manager Lou Piniella said Sunday.
GM Jim Hendry said he’s spoken to Zambrano’s agent a few times since the incident, but not directly to Zambrano. As of now, the team doesn’t know what to do with him and will play with a 24-man roster.
“He’ll have some issues to deal with [regarding] his teammates,” Hendry said.
Manager Lou Piniella thinks there was no reason for the tirade.
“I think [his behavior] was a combination of frustration,” Piniella said, “but again, it serves no purpose. These guys have to play behind you.
“I looked at the film after the ballgame,” Piniella said. “There wasn’t a play that wasn’t made that could’ve been made. Get out of that inning with one run — but four. You don’t want that on a team.”
We’ve heard that many think this whole thing was blown out of proportion, and maybe it was. But, this isn’t the first time Zambrano has pulled something like this and he isn’t pitching well enough to get away with it.
[...] Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano is looking more and more like a certifiable nutjob. His explosion in the dugout Friday, which was directed at his teammates for not playing well enough behind him (there is no [...]

I must say, as a lot as I enjoyed reading what you had to say, I couldnt assist but lose interest after a while. Its as if you had a great grasp on the subject matter matter, but you forgot to contain your readers. Possibly you need to consider this from much more than 1 angle. Or perhaps you shouldnt generalise so significantly. Its far better in case you think of what other people may possibly have to express as opposed to just going to get a gut reaction to the subject matter. Consider adjusting your own thought process and giving other people who may well study this the benefit in the doubt.
