Go into work and act the way he did to one of your co-workers. Then let me know if you still have a job.

 

I'll be ready to see if you still have a job.

 

That is my point. Why should some guy be held to different standards then everyone else. He should not be allowed to act that way. I know if I acted that way at my place of work that I would be cleaning out my cubicle right now.

 

Psychiatric evaluations should be a mandatory thing for all sports at this point. If you are not mentally stable, you shouldn't be allowed on the field, court, etc. On top of everything now people think they found out why Chris Henry might have been "crazy". The leagues could save lives if this would be implemented. If the damage that Henry, Benoit, etc had in their brains really do affect and change that person they need to be immediately taken out of sports. It changed Benoit so much that he killed his whole family. Extensive studies need to be done. Maybe Zambrano has taken one too many shots to the head. I don't know though? Could be linked, could not be linked.

 

First you say that they should be held to the same standard, then you want to make every professional athlete undergo a psychiatric evaluation? Isn't that a "different standard"?

 

The entertainment industry is out of control. They all act like they can do whatever they want. I just don't agree with it. You may think they should be allowed to since their job is different. They are a human being no greater than me. Someone with that short of a fuse doesn't need to be down any career path until he gets help IMO. My big thing is just putting everyone on an even ground. Noone should be put above anyone, but the entertainment industry (counts all sports) seem to go against that. That is really the root of my point. You can disagree all you want but that is my way of thinking.

 

So you want to prevent someone with a short fuse from having any career? You'd rather the American taxpayers support someone with a short fuse as opposed to them working and providing for themselves?

Baseball players do get hit in the head from time to time.. I don't know about Zambrano, don't watch him enough. He might have enough chemical imbalances without any shots for all I know? I don't know much about psychiatric things.

 

I think he's got the perfect makeup for a closer.

 

Agreed.

 

I know that Big Z has a history of blowups, but I didn't think this one was that bad at all. Just a lot of barking. Personally, I love his passion on the mound, although it does seem to affect his pitching at times (which is not good).

The Cubs got a decent pitcher in return for Milton Bradley. There is a market for him.

 

Rumor has it Derrek Lee actually hit Zambrano but grounded into a double play.

 

Calling Carlos Silva a decent pitcher is a bit of a stretch, although he has had a great year thus far for the Cubbies.
