Cubs Pitcher Zambrano Slams Team After Loss

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Carlos Zambrano slammed his team after the Cardinals finished their sweep yesterday with a walk-off homer from Albert Pujols. Zambrano's rant went a little like this...

"The problem wasn't Pujols," Zambrano said. "The problem was [Theriot's] at-bat. We should have known better than this. We are playing like a Triple-A team. This is embarrassing. Embarrassing for the team and the owners. Embarrassing for the fans. Embarrassing, that's the word for this team."

"We should know that Ryan Theriot is not a good fastball hitter," Zambrano yelled after turning in the direction of Marmol's then-vacated locker. "We should know that as a team. We should play better here. We stink. That's all I've got to say."

And I think that's the last we'll be hearing from Big Z for a while. Reports are the Cubs are looking at teams who'd be willing to trade, among other options for the pitcher. This is still one of the best meltdowns ever...[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tTuZir2420&feature=related[/youtube]
