Carlos Zambrano has proven to be an interesting offseason quote machine. First he enjoyed referring to himself in the 3rd person with regards to his contracts desire and now he's tossing out the guarantees. Perhaps one that has to do with a 99 year streak?
"I believe this year I will win the Cy Young, and I will enjoy that," Zambrano said "Beside that, we will win the World Series, I guarantee you that." All Headline News
Note to Carlos, the Cubs haven't won the World Series in 99 years and finished the 2006 season with the worst record in the entire National League last season. I understand that they went out and signed Soriano, Lee is healthy, and they added Lilly and Ponderosa, etc. but they doesn't mean they are going to win the World Series, and how meaningless is a guarantee at the beginning of the season. I just enjoy how Zambrano phrases everything. 'I will enjoy that', 'Beside that', quite humorous if you ask me. While he was throwing out absurd guarantees why didn't he say that neither Kerry Wood or Mark Prior would spend anytime on the DL this season. Now that's bold. I'd expect that one to come out in the 3rd person, kind of like this.
"Carlos guarantees Mark Prior is going to make 33 starts this year, Kerry will be dominant in the Pen and neither will spend anytime on the DL. Big-Z will enjoy that."
Although it might be valid, look at the picture, its apparent Carlos is in constant communication with God.
