Carlos Zambrano is a fierce competitor with the passion to when. There is no questioning this, but does his composure on the mound sometimes get the best of him? My answer is yes, it does.
Aramis Ramirez made a throwing error that opened the flood gates. You could clearly see that Carlos Zambrano was upset. I felt that Lou Piniella should have immediately came to the mound or at the very least send out the pitching coach to settle him down. Zambrano simply threw fastball after fastball allowing five runs to score. Buy a Carlos Zambrano Jersey Or Customize Your Own
Zambrano left the mound with his lips quenched just trying to hold back the rage building within. Upon reaching the dugout, Zambrano unleashed his frustrations on the gatorade coolers. Repeatedly slamming the coolers to the ground, and kicking them as if they were a soccer ball.
Zambrano needs to harness his competitive edge and understand that there will be miscues behind him, but its up to him to not lose focus. The Cubs need Carlos Zambrano to be their "ace". The Cub players, and their fans need Zambrano to be their "rock" in the foundation. If the Cubs make it to the playoffs, it is imperitive that they can count on their top pitcher to lead the way.
