Has Carlos Zambrano Been Hanging Out With Mark Prior?
ROFL Sports — Big Z’s shoulder is suffering from tendonitis. At least he doesn’t need Tommy John surgery. Now, we just need to figure out why the fuck the bats are limper than John McCain’s dick.  I’m sorry, that was uncalled for.  I am sure the bats are just as limp as John McCain’s dick.

The Cubs would be insane to bring him back next week unless the Brewers are threatening to overcome ...

A Pretty Good Off-Day
A Hundred Next Years — Apart from our learning that Carlos Zambrano could be back on the mound by September 14th, presumably minus the discomfort caused recently by his rotator cuff tendinitis, there was another positive development on the baseball front Thursday: The Brewers lost 5-2 at home to the team with the worst record and worst road record in the National League, the woeful Padres. Compounding the Brewers' frustration was knowing that they had been conquered by the habitually woeful Shawn Estes, who was making his first start since May, when he sustained a broken thumb. Yes, it's that Shawn Estes. The one who merited 28 starts for Dusty Baker's 2003 Cubs though his ERA was ...
