A team source, speaking under the condition of anonymity, said that Carlos Zambrano was still feeling discomfort in his right, throwing wrist hours after the Cubs 4-3 loss, and will undergo an MRI during the Cubs day off on Tuesday.

 

That's just great. Whoever it was (Raw?) that said that this season was shaping up to be just like 2004 was right on the money.

[Bote McBoteface]

Nah, 2004 was a good team. This team sucks and will go 0-162.

 

 

EDIT: But Fukudome will kick ass and win ROY, MVP, Silver Slugger, a gold glove, and they'll even give him the Roloids reliever of the year award just because if he were a reliever he'd be the best.

April Fools, plz

[Bote McBoteface]

Oh, wait, yeah this was an april fools day joke. The article doesn't say anything like that at all.

 

 

I guess it pays to read first, I was actually pretty worried.

Thanx, IMB!

[Soul]

Oh, that was not funny. You are an evil man, IMB. Had me going for a second.

[RazzinGTO]

Is it sad that my heart almost stopped when I read this initially?

[C.C.]

DICK!

[E.J.]

I can't stand April Fool's day. I can't believe a word out of anyone's mouth. Of course, it was easy knowing this was a prank with IMB starting the thread.

I was expecting to be rickrolled by clicking on the link.

[OleMissCub]

Really? A thread started by IMB! on April Fool's Day might actually be a joke?

 

C'mon.

[B]

I came here to see what was done for April Fools. I knew when I saw it was from IMB! that it was a joke.

Haha, awesome pic in your sig, OMC. That's taken in th family room right inside gate K. I sat in that chair once. I almost feel famous now.

 

 

*About as famous as one can feel from sitting in the same chair as a backup SS who isnt thought highly enough of to beat out ryan freaking theriot for a starting job*

Well played.

[NCCubFan]

This joke has carried over to the cubs.com board.

Hmm. Wonder who this "dex morgan" fellow is...

[SouthSideRyan]

I expected IMB to be above April Fool's.

The only reason I posted the thread under the different name is because that's the name it logs me in with when I'm using the mlb.tv account on my friend's email address.

Never.

 

It's really my favorite day of the year. Everyone I know spends all day pumping themselves up to not get got, but they all fall. I'm an unstoppable machine for one day a year.

joking aside:

 

Carlos Zambrano is expected to make his next start after leaving Monday's game with forearm cramps.

"He's fine," manager Lou Piniella said. "His potassium level was a little low. I think that was the problem." Zambrano is scheduled to face the Astros on Sunday.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Should we start Zambrano/banana jokes?

ESPN 2 is saying Z drinks a bunch of caffeine drinks before his starts and that's probably causing the cramps.
