The Cubs started the season with four Carlos-es: Fat Carlos, Crazy Carlos, Hot Carlos and Filthy Carlos. They are now down to only Hot and Filthy (heh!). We all know the story on Carlos "Fattie" Silva (I wonder what he's doing now?). Well....I believe the Carlos Zambrano Era has come to an end. Or....at least it should.
Big Z had yet another one of his patented meltdowns this weekend....threw at Chipper Jones on purpose (after giving up FIVE home runs in one game) and was kicked out of the game. Rather than taking it like a man, Big Z pouted, stomped off to the locker room, cleared out his locker and said he was retiring. Mature, huh? Z has since retracted the "I'm retiring" part, but the Cubs, I think, have had it. I think this was the last straw. Z has been suspended without pay for 30 days. I truly don't think we'll ever see him in a Cubs uniform again. And.....I'm kinda sad about that. Sad that a man with all the talent in the world let his emotions get the best of him and affect his career so greatly. He's his own worst enemy. And let's face it, the Cubs have enough to worry about what with their crappy GM sticking around and their owners that know nothing about owning an MLB team...oh and there's that whole not winning in 103 years thing, so, another Z tantrum is not something they needed right now. I hope, for the Cubs franchise, that this was the last Z tantrum in a Cubs uniform. Let him be someone else's problem now.
Vaya con Dios Carlos! (Impressive Spanish, eh?)

We lost two Carloses, but in total weight, it was like 80% of Carloses.
Adios, Carlos. (Me too!)
That is correct Jen. Math is hard.
