So...who do we fire first? That was the one of the first questions that came to mind after hearing the news that Carlos Zambrano was the new 8th-inning set-up guy. The other questions were:
1. Have they all lost their fucking minds?
2. Why do I root for this team?
3. What is the square root of 1,758? (It's 41.92851058647326)
The following garbage is from Cubs.com:
Chicago manager Lou Piniella had to make a move because of Lilly’s impending return from the effects of an arthroscopic surgery on his pitching shoulder, and he felt Zambrano made the best fit for a number of reasons. The Cubs didn’t want to move Carlos Silva into the bullpen because he’s been on a hot streak, and southpaw Tom Gorzelanny wouldn’t fit as well in relief.
Z goes to the pen because Silva is on a fucking hot streak? Have you gone mad?
“This makes all the sense in the world and I appreciate Carlos doing this,” said Piniella of the decision. “It gives us some power at the end of the ballgame. With Zambrano and [Carlos] Marmol, it gives us some firepower.”
This makes as much sense as wiping before you poop. You know what? Let's make Chad Tracy our everyday goddamn third baseman so we can have Ramirez give us some firepower off the bench.
