I'm sorry sorry I missed this one, but Carlos Zambrano really had a temper tantrum for the ages on Wednesday against the Pirates. For those who didn't see, check the link:
Zambrano is known for getting excitable at a moment's notice, but there are many issues at play here. One, isn't it time for Zambrano to can this act? A suspension is surely on the way, and the Cubs can ill afford to be without Zambrano once again. It's time to grow up. Two, it does appear the umpire initiated the contact with Zambrano (thus Z "ejecting" the umpire) I think the umpires are getting out of control and Baseball needs to start looking at this instead of assuming the players and managers always being at fault.
It was a nice run for the Blackhawks, who are now out of the NHL playoff picture. They took the champs to three overtime games out of the five. I firmly believe in next year for this team.
Big news out of Memphis is that the men's basketball is being investigated for major violations from the 2007-2008 season. That was the Final Four season with 38 victories and Derrick Rose. One of the violations involved a fraudulent SAT score involving a player from that team. This could mean forfeiting that season and the Final Four. I know Kentucky is a gem of a job, but does it make anyone wonder now that coach John Caliperi bolted so quickly (although I don't believe he was personally involved in the violations)????
The big bad Yankees are now tied for first place after their poor start. I will review all things baseball in my weekly Sunday recap. Always a treat to write (and for you to read)!!
My last thing for the day is that the world lost a genuinely nice man yesterday in Dr. Jim Tiffany. You're in a better place and I will miss you as will all of your colleagues. I'm sorry about the end and hope you won't hold it against me.
Hopefully a calmer Friday...
