Cubs Had Big Z on Trading Block

My initial reaction to seeing that headline - Duh!

Of course Zambrano was on the trading block.  The Cubs have had to deal with a lot of head-cases in the last couple of years, but Big Z may be the worst.  At least Milton Bradley was just bad mouthing the fan base.  Zambrano went after his own teammates.  I can just imagine how the conversations went:

Hendry: Hey buddy! We've got a fantastic starting pitcher on the trade block that we're willing to deal!

Random GM: Really?  We could use a lefty.  What's your asking price for Lilly?

Hendry: Ted?  Oh, no, that's not who I was talking about.  I'm talking about Carlos.

Random GM: Zambrano?!? *click*

Yup, that's about how it went.
