8/7 Cubs (Zambrano) at Mets (Zambrano) 7:05 PM CT ESPN

[bhogg]

even joe morgan knows the cubs stink.

[eburgcub]

Watching family guy also.

[abuck1220]

80 pitches thru three for carlos.

 

40 pitches thru three for one of the most bb prone SP in the league.

Cut off man cut off man cut off man cut off man........holy crap Dusty Baker should be screaming at his players because they don't play fundamentally. But no this idiot allows them to do whatever they want and now Lawton figures he'll do the same garbage cause Dusty doesn't care. My high school team could have beaten the Cubs if we were able to hit the pitching. The only difference between the Cubs and the high school teams are that they Cubs can hit a 95 mph and the Cubs can throw a 95 mph. This team is pathetic

 

I wouldnt go so far as to say Lawton's defensive lapse is due to Dusty. Lawton has never been a good defensive player. The Cubs knew what they were getting into when they picked him up.

 

I'm not saying it is Dusty's fault that the players do it, but I am saying he needs to hold them accountable or they will continue to do it. If you don't get on a player or players for continuing to make the exact same mistakes then they will just continue to make those mistakes. Being a players manager doesn't mean sitting on your lazy a$$ and letting people do whatever they want.

[YearofDaCubs]

Wow, Z just left the game.

[abuck1220]

wow, did they just show zambrano quitting???

[Blueheart05]

WTF? Did Carlos just quit on us? That's BS!

[XZero771679666304]

Oh Jeez. Looks like Z is out of the game.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Okay guys, do you watch

 

 

A: Road Rules

 

B: Cubs losing

 

C: WNBA

 

 

 

They're all equally as bad.

 

You mean I'm missing Road Rules?!?!?

[YearofDaCubs]

I hope he flipped Baker right before he left. I can;t say that I blame him. This is Bakers doing.

[Blueheart05]

I'd make his butt go right back out there. Zambrano doesn't dictate crap!

 

That's a Pippen move.

[abuck1220]

most of the team quit weeks ago...carlos was just the first to come out and say it.

[CardsFanInChiTown]

I don't have cable. What happened?

Hey, the only thing that could get Baker fired quicker than losing is if he loses the control of the team.

[LuvChicagoSports]

I hope Carlos refuses to play for Dusty Baker again. That would make for a hell of a predicament for the front office. Keep your young incredible arm or keep your pathetic manager....oh wait that isn't a big predicament. Get rid of this sorry manager.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

wow, did they just show zambrano quitting???

 

Hopefully he refuses to come back as long as Dusty is managing this team.

That didn't work last year.

it's most likely they took Z out of the game.

 

 

THose were some grueling innings. Sometimes 80 pitches isn't just 80 pitches.

[XZero771679666304]

I don't have cable. What happened?

 

Hard to tell. Z went to the clubhouse, and there appreared to be some confusion in the dugout. The Weurtz got up in the pen.

three seasons in chicago for dusty, three meltdowns to end the season. time to go, my friend.

Unfortunately, the Lawton trade is looking more and more like a mistake. Lawton is unlikely to be a Cub in 2006, while Gerut would have been a nice player to have next year, especially as a fourth outfielder and a left-handed bat off of the bench (even with his arbitration increased salary). The only bright side to all of this is the possibility that Lawton nets us a compensatory draft pick as a free agent.

Did his players rebel against him personally? If so, I don't remember it.

z walked into the dugout shaking his head. rothschild came up to him, but z did the finger across the throat thing and walked right past him to the clubhouse. rothschild followed him for a second with a confused look on his face before turning around.
