Zambrano Rips Marmol, Calls Cubs 'Embarrassing'

After watching another strong outing ruined by a blown save and loss, Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano vented on Sunday.

He called the Cubs "embarrassing" and a "Triple-A team" and criticized closer Carlos Marmol's pitch selection on the �tying hit in the ninth.

It all began with an innocuous media question about Albert Pujols' second walk-off homer against the Cubs in as many days.

"The problem wasn't Pujols," Zambrano said. "The problem was the previous at-bat [in the ninth]. We should know better than this. We played like a Triple-A team.

"This is embarrassing," he added, "embarrassing for the team, for the owners, embarrassing for the fans. Embarrassing. That's the word here for this team."

I expect he'll be gone soon.

Big Z is having a nice year, but not sure if anyone wants that contract.

they have to eat some of it then
he has to go

and if they eat his contract, maybe they get a better package

just send him to the yanks already

I'm glad he said this. Nothing wrong with what he said IMO. I'd be pissed too if I played my entire career for this joke of a team. Z deserves better than the Cubs. While I would hate not having him on the team, he should be dealt to a contender, because we sure aren't going anywhere until we can get some of the young guys up and get some experience under their belts.

Also, Bob Brenly (Cubs color guy), called the Cubs a "deadass team." If he gets fired for those comments, which is a possibility, then I'm probably not watching anymore games the rest of the season. Brenly is the man and has really become a Cubs fan calling games from the booth. I wish we could get him down in the dugout as the manager, because it appears that Quade's little run last year was a fluke.
