Ouch!
‘He’s full of [it] anyway,’’ Brewers second baseman Rickie Weeks said Sunday. ‘’You can’t believe a word that man says. But that [stuff] happens. He pitched good, but we’ll see what happens next time.’’
While explaining the difference between his poor outing last Monday in Cincinnati and his good one Saturday, Zambrano said the key was the quality of the lineups he was facing.
‘’In Cincinnati, they’re better hitters than in Milwaukee,’’ he said. ‘’I don’t say that the Milwaukee Brewers are nothing, but the offense of the Cincinnati Reds is better.’’

''Seriously, that guy doesn't have much etiquette as far as I'm concerned. Zero mound presence. We'll face him a lot, and maybe we'll get him next time.''
As for his comments, I'm not a fan. I'd prefer it if Carlos let his playing (and gesticulating) do the talking. I don't think the Brewers have a player as good as Dunn, but 1-8 in the lineup Milwaukee is at least comparable, if not better than the Reds.
By my reckoning Zambrano is now 8-7 in his career against the Brewers with an ERA right around 4. In case anyone is interested.
Based on Zambrano, Guillen, and Hugo Chavez, Venezuela seems like it'd be a fun country to visit.
I'm not sure "fun" is the word that comes to mind when I think about Ugueth.
You must be a gardner, Kiko.
That's right. (I looked it up: 8-7, 4.17 ERA.) It's notable that he has a better career mark against the Reds, 8-6, 3.06 ERA; and last year, Zambrano was hit harder by the Brewers (6.35 ERA, 1.68 WHIP, .276 BAA) than he was by the Reds (3.76 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, .209 BAA).
Also, from what I recall, Andujar took his exile to Oakland like a man.
I have had the pleasure of seeing Carlos be Mr. PoutyPants after a lowly Brewer has whacked one of his offerings into the gap.
It's up to the Crew to show this young man the error of his ways. And if Carlos shoves another game up Milwaukee's rectum good for him.
We may be discussing semantics, then. To me, that reaction you describe is disgust at himself for letting it happen. I see sulking as more of a self-pitying kind of thing. YMMV.
