Zambrano finished anger management in October: "I'm Cured"

[Garwilly]

I'll believe it when I see him not stomping around on the mound like my toddler when I tell him he can't have candy.

Why would he care about candy if he's pitching in a game?

 

I lol'd

 

the better question is what's erik's toddler doing on a pitching mound at that age?

 

Kid's got an arm. He'll be a Cy Young winner one day.

 

Does McDonald's give out Cy Youngs?

Insulting my 2-year-old son? Really? Do you feel like a big man now by insulting someone who can't even defend himself? Say whatever you want about me, but only a true piece of crap brings another person's family into it.

[Sammy Sofa]

He's just furious that someone is at McDonald's instead of him.

No, I'm furious that someone feels the need to insult my family. I don't care how much anyone here hates me, there is no need to bring my family into it. And if the mods don't want to do anything about the insults toward me, that's fine. I can defend myself. But if my family (especially my son) is insulted again it damn well better not go ignored.

nobody insulted your family, they insulted you.

Really? I said my son was going to win the Cy Young award, and the response was "McDonald's gives out Cy Young's?" Are you really so dense as to think that was directed at me? If so it makes absolutely no sense. It was a shot at my son and was completely uncalled for. But I'm not going to sit here and argue this all night and have yet another thread derailed, although I'm sure the insults against me will go on for at least another page or so before the thread either gets buried or locked, so have at it!

I'm so dense that I don't understand why a 2 year old getting a cy young from McDonalds is such an insult. Seemed pretty harmless to me. I have a hard time believing that the OP meant it the way you are taking it.

 

This was mostly a dumb, unnecessary thread anyway so no need to worry about it getting derailed.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Don't bring up your family if they are supposed to be off-limits.

 

You guys can make fun of my kid if you want. He's one and a total jerk, and can eat an entire McDonald's ice cream cone already.

[Four and Twenty]

This is the internet. Nothing said here is an insult to your family unless you make it so. Why let another individual wield so much influence over your sensibilities?

[Four and Twenty]

But, yeah, really, Carlos is 29. I know his arm has logged an avalanche of innings, plummeting him toward Camp Orthopedic Surgery, but that day could still be long off. After the final months of last season, I can't wait to see him get back to work. Edited February 25, 2011 by Four and Twenty

Mentioning them, yes. Insulting them? No. There is a difference.

 

But, I guess it's too much to expect people to know that.

[Four and Twenty]

People in need of anger management in the anger management thread.

[Sammy Sofa]

Nobody cares about your damn kids here.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I'll believe it when I see him not stomping around on the mound like my toddler when I tell him he can't have candy.

 

Lets try this again here with a bit less douchebagery shall we? Erik raises a legit point. Yes, Z came back at the end of last year looking like an ace, but by then, the Cubs were wel out of it, there was no pressure, and nobody really cared whats going on. Lets see how he comes back for a fresh season when people start paying attention again, and hopefully, the team is relevant again.

[Sammy Sofa]

Let's not.

 

The funniest thing is that most of the people who get worked up over Zambrano are the same that go bonkers over players and managers acting like they don't care.

Zambrano has pitched well in the past when the Cubs weren't out of it, when there was pressure, and when people really cared what was going on.

Doesn't matter. Too many fans only see him as some kind of bloated psycho who is a much, much worse pitcher than he actually is.

I think hes a great pitcher. I didnt blame him for getting fired up last year, although Derrek Lee wasnt the guy to go after. Im truely relieved that they didnt trade him for some fringe prospects and salary relief or something awful like Oliver Perez and/or Luis Castillo, although if the Cubs do fall out of contention early on, I wouldnt be surprised to se them dangle him in front of the Yankees. Hes one of the main keys to the 2011 Cubs success.

I would gladly take a Cy Young award from McDonalds.
