Admit It

The best pitcher on the Cubs, right now is Carlos Zambrano. When everyone on the staff is perfectly healthy, he's no worse than the second best (to Prior). In fact, Cub fans would be drooling over this kid were he ever to throw a 20 strikeout game. If Carlos Zambrano got the kind of press that Kerry Wood gets, Carlos would be getting Cy Young talk right now. In fact, a few more losses by Clemens, and you could see Carlos taking the Juice Box mound for inning #1 of the Mid Summer Classic (This Time, It Counts! Again!). When reporters talk of having two #1 starters, they better mean Prior and the Big Zamboni. Anything else is insulting.

Note to Desipio: He's not a lawnmower. Z's much more powerful than some half horsepower Toro. While he may not be a Zamboni (after all, Zamboni's are Italian), Z's at least a steamroller.
