It's clear that Zambrano runs this team... he already ran Barrett out of town in 2006 and now has dispatched DLee while managing to get a contract extension and stay a Cub in the process. Who do you guys think that he'll get rid of next? Hopefully Koyie Hill.
Does anybody else kinda hope this hot streak gives him the numbers to opt out in the off-season? With Vitters looming and Ramirez's age, I think it might be best to have his 14 million to spend on shoring up the rotation or getting an upgrade at RF/2B.

I was just perusing the ESPN Cubs Clubhouse and found that any of the following players would be leading our team in AVG, R, HR, RBI, and OPS: Chase Utley Prince Fielder Raul Ibanez Justin Upton Ryan Bruan Albert Pujols Aaron Hill Miguel Cabrera Torii Hunter Victor Martinez Justin Morneau JOHNNY DAMON I might have made a few mistakes but you get the picture.
