Z walks out on team. Cleans out locker before end of game. Said to have talked of retiring. Q fuming

[Bruno7481]

Sullivan: "Z cleans out locker. Tells trainer he's retired."

[Little Slide Rooter]

[expletive]. why do I get the feeling that while this isn't the end of Z's career,it's the end of him as a Cub and we'll end up with a pile of cow dung to show for it. [expletive].

If he is retired, that's more money off the books for 2012, is it not?

Hey Carlos, it's not Chipper Jone's fault you sucked tonight, k?

I'm fairly certain Chipper didn't figure into whatever Z is thinking.

But he won't retire, but rather be traded and we'll end up with a handful of fringe prospects and paying 95% of his salary. If someone took Milton Bradley, someone will take him.

Can't wait for The Kapman, Rosenthal, and the rest of those douches to get ahold of this one.

The key is not to read their columns or listen to them.

What would be wrong with them doing so?

 

Zambrano has become a clown, and he deserves whatever he gets at this point.

[Sammy Sofa]

Because they're idiots who don't offer any kind of insight or thought out analysis.

 

Zambrano's throwing a tantrum and it's ridiculous, but it's not like Kapman and co. are going to have anything intelligent to say about it.

Q Quotes

 

Said Quade: "I can't have a guy walking out on 24 guys, that's for damn sure."

 

Quade said he is "really disappointed" in Zambrano and said "he's talking about retiring."

Whatever they say isn't going to make things any worse at this point. They say some idiotic stuff, but hard not to when they are continually fed this type of crap on a silver platter.

Quade said he is "really disappointed" in Zambrano and said "he's talking about retiring."

Yet another chance for Quade to take the spotlight off what a horrible job he's done with this team.

[Bruno7481]

The team is bad, no matter who the manager is. I don't see how Q commenting on the situation is somehow his way of trying to escape blame for the season.

 

What do you want him to say?

my reaction to this:

 

"whatever"

It's hard not to? Really?

Yeah, pretty much. If he wants to retire, I hope someone encourages him to do so.

[Iceblink]

Please let it be true.

 

And then someone foolishly puts in a waiver claim on Soriano, Randy Myers style.

 

And then Hendry resigns to play shortstop for the Cardinals.

Hard not to comment on Zambrano and the incidents he's been involved with?

What do you want him to say? Zambrano is a clown and just because some Chicago media types love batting average and scrappy white guys doesn't change that. He deserves to be called out by his manager and anyone else.

These guys were/are tripping all over themselves to get to their computers to type whatever racist, sensationalist swill they will spew forth on the issue. They love it.

 

It may be hard not to comment on a story like this at all, but it's not difficult to not get off on using it to instigate.

Yeah, it's not like I'm expecting people to not talk about it. I'd just prefer a less meatball, sensational/hysterical approach.
