It seems like there are "lists" for every scenario. It also seems like Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano(notes) has been on just about all of them at one time or another. After his actions against the Atlanta Braves and subsequently in the clubhouse, Zambrano has a new list to add to his repertoire: the disqualified list.
So what exactly is the disqualified list? Well, it means Zambrano will be unable to participate in any type of team activity for 30 days -which was the duration the Cubs placed on him. It also means he doesn't get pay. After a rocky night against the Atlanta Braves, which ended with his ejection in the fifth inning, Zambrano went back into the clubhouse, collected his things, and told those present that he was retiring. To that I say fine and good riddance.
Zambrano's agent, Barry Praver, says the pitcher is not retiring, despite Zambrano's comments.
Zambrano's Cubs teammates weren't as kind. Pitcher Ryan Dempster(notes) said "He's made his stance pretty clear with what he wanted to do. He's probably got a lot to find out about. He can go do that." Alfonso Soriano(notes) added "he's been doing a lot of things, not once or twice, gotta think a little bit more. He's a big man, but I think that mentally he's weak."
Honestly, I think Cubs fans have been more than patient with Zambrano. I understand sports are emotional, and some people are more emotional than others, but Zambrano has had chance after chance to prove he is a "changed man" on the field only to find new ways to let both his team, and his fans, down. The latest coming in the form of his little tantrum in Atlanta.
The Cubs went on to lose 10-4, and somewhat overlooked is that Dan Uggla(notes) extended his hitting streak to 32 games, hitting two home runs. Speaking of streaks, Starlin Castro(notes), with his home run in the ninth, gave the Cubs their tenth straight game with a long ball.
Concerning Zambrano, there just isn't much left to say. He seems to come up with different shenanigans each time he makes headlines. It's a shame given what he's shown he can do. Perhaps this latest stunt will be the one that puts the Cubs over the edge and take him up on his proposal of retirement. We'll see.
