As most of you have read, Carlos Zambrano has reportedly been moved to the bullpen for the Chicago Cubs. How one comes to the conclusion that Zambrano is the weakest link of a starting rotation featuring Carlos Silva and Tom Gorzelanny is a question no baseball follower can answer. Zambrano has made six straight Opening Day starts for the Chicago Cubs and has been the proclaimed ace of this staff for the ...

Good evening Bronx Baseball Daily readers. Some of you might have noticed our lack of updates this morning. First, we didn’t have a game recap because the Yankees' West Coast trip is hard to stay awake for and, in an effort to stay up late last night, I accidentally caused myself to sleep in today. Also, we had some server issues this morning and it may have been ...

In one of the more bizarre moves you'll read about, the Cubs announced today that Opening Day starter Carlos Zambrano will be moved to the bullpen. Zambrano, 1-2 with a 7.45 ERA so far in 2010, figures to be the primary set-up man for closer Carlos Marmol. The Cubs' bullpen has been atrocious this season, and there is no question that a move had to be made.  You can't fault manager Lou Piniella ...

On a day that has Michael McCaskey retiring and getting replaced by his younger brother George, and the day after the Bears schedule is released, the Blackhawks lose to the seventh-seed Nashville Predators, and LeBron James gushes about how awesome Chicago is, we have news that trumps all those stories.  Cubs beat writer Paul Sullivan has reported via his Twitter page that three-time all-star starter Carlos Zambrano will be moving to ...

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution is a part of the Bill of Rights that protects a right to keep and bear arms.  It provides: "A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." San Francisco Giants Manager Bruce Bochy is pushing the envelope on this constitutional right with his current starting pitching staff.  Riding the wave ...

"Because of his stuff," Chicago Cubs manager says Opening Day starter Carlos Zambrano is moving to the bullpen beginning Friday. So now the Cubs have Alfonso Soriano making $18 million to play seven innings in left, and Zambrano making $17.875 million to pitch 3-5 innings per week. Jim Hendry: EPIC FAIL. Manager Lou Piniella went on to say that this isn't a "panic move," but has indicated to Chicago media that it might be ...
