Now we all know that Carlos Zambrano is a fiery person who speaks his mind. We also know that when he does speak his mind it usually leads to good media fodder. Do these rants destroy the team morale? Do they cause rifts between him and management? Does this make Big Z be the real problem in Wrigley? I don't think so.
The issue with the Cubs is not Zambrano alone. Yes he may be part of the overall issue, but certainly he is not the only issue that has lead to another dismal season for the Cubs.
The issue with the Cubs starts right at the top of the organization. When the Ricketts family bought the Cubs, I hoped for a huge change. Unfortunately this hasn't happened. Jim Hendry should not be in the organization anymore. Ryne Sandberg should be the manager of this team, not Mike Quade. Players relate to coaches that were once players, especially those that played at the level Ryno did.
With a few of the terrible contracts the Cubs have tendered coming off the books after this season, lets all hope for big changes on the North Side. Not only with players but with management as well. Mr. Ricketts, please listen to your team's fans. They know a little more than you think.
Big Z, keep up the rants. It's about the only thing us fans have to keep us entertained this season.
