Carlos Zambrano

[Old_Style]

Zambrano was scratched from today's lineup. The team didn't say anything about injury, but said he needs a few extra days of rest. Stay tuned...

tired arm...I am hoping they let him sit so he can be a two start pitcher for playoffs with weekly lineups....

[Neato Torpedo]

Good call on their part. September will bring 2 series each against the Cardinals and Brewers, no need to risk a late season implosion from Zambrano on a non-division team.

He''s going to go on Tuesday.

It just seems to be a bit of the August blues, as usual,for Zambrano.
Looks like he's back his normal self tonight.

Nevermind....

At first I thought it was just a typical August for Big Z, maybe not...

From Rotoworld:

Carlos Zambrano admitted to arm soreness after allowing three runs in five innings Tuesday against the Astros.
"He told our pitching coach he wasn't feeling good," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said after Tuesday's game. "He went up with the trainer, and he'll see Dr. [Stephen] Gryzlo tomorrow, and we'll know more by then." Sean Marshall will join the rotation if Zambrano needs to be shut down. Sep. 3 - 2:01 am et
