How has Z's behavior reflected poorly on anyone but Z?

 

I don't think anyone has defended Z. What he did one the field was wrong. What he did in the clubhouse was stupid. However, overreacting to it by management is not helpful. Who cares about how it makes Cub fans look?

Yeah, I still don't give a [expletive] about the crazy stuff Z does. I still find it funny and don't really think it matters that much.

How has management overreacted?

 

And what would be the proper reaction?

Z gets angry and does dumb [expletive] like this all the time its lost meaning. It seems to me every time he gets pissed at the team is when HE does poorly. What was he fed up with yesterday? Take him out back and shoot him in the head for all I care. Dudes done, dudes a frickin goon. He clearly hates being on the cubs. He'll never say exactly that, but you know its true. If the team was winning, none of this would ever happen with Z. A Z that wins is a happy Z

That would be another contract off the books that we could put back into the team.

 

Carlos, if you really want to retire, I'll drive you to the airport. Go act like a petulant child somewhere else.

I never said anything about pitchforks and torches or that he's a monster. Calm down.

 

What I said, had you been paying attention, is that his contract could be put toward other players that can help us win, and if he wants to go they should let him. Call his bluff, and if he's not bluffing then it's really not a big loss. Just don't end up convincing him to come back only to trade him for crap while still paying a good portion of his contract.

Just like there will be consequences for Z's behavior, there should be for yours. I don't think Z needs you to drive him.

Yes, buy why does he have to leave the city/state/country?!??

 

Maybe he wants to retire in Chicago and become a saucy, well-to-do man about town.

I just assumed he'd want to. Stop trying to derail.

Good to see the 'enablers' out in full force.

 

Very telling that the Braves dugout empties, but not one Cub on the bench moves to come to his defense. Says volumes on how his teammates feel about him.

 

Wouldn't this:

 

Byrd disagreed with manager Mike Quade's assessment that Zambrano "walked out on 24 guys," saying that he was "just frustrated."

 

"If he goes home for good, it's a different story," he said.

 

say more about how his teammates feel about him?

why would he have to go to an airport to retire?

 

To fly out of Atlanta to go home, perhaps? Do you expect him to walk?

 

I thought we agreed we were going to murder him? Does it really matter where we bury the body?

I love that the first sentence of the post is calling other posts ridiculous. He had a temper tantrum. He'll apologize and be back. He didn't leave during the game, or do anything that was so awful that he can't come back. Silly overreaction.

It was my understanding that he cleaned out his locker and left before the game was over. Is that incorrect?
