Now that Carlos Zambrano is gone, that is. At least according to Gordon Wittenmeyer of the Sun-Times.
You have got to wonder where they get these sportswriters. According to Gordo, the clubhouse is such a relaxed place now that the evil demon Z has moved on to Miami. It must feel great now that the burden of unreasonable expectations of professional play has been lifted.
But, hey, they are unified. They are together. These guys can finally concentrate on business. Like going 3-7 in the first ten games. Now that the pressure is off, Chris Volstad, Zambrano's replacement in the rotation, can pitch two rotten games, going 0-1 with an ERA just south of 5.
Zambrano, incidentally, has pitched pretty well in two starts for the Marlins and would be 2-0 had his closer, Health Bell, not blown safe leads in the ninth inning of each of his outings.
Go Cubs! Lets lose two tonight to celebrate.
