Carlos Zambrano. Feast or Famine?

Well, quite frankly, this season's success depends upon two players earning their money: Big Z and the cock fighting king of the Dominican Republic, A-Ram.  Without big performances from these two, you might as well just fast forward to 2012.  Now we all know that Big Z is fucking joke, but sometimes that big fucking joke can really pitch.  Last year, after apparently getting a brain transplant mid season, he came back and was essentially unhittable putting up an impressive 7-0 record and sub 3.00 ERA.  Now, was this reality is the big question.  Big Z appeared to learn how to pitch.  He no longer is throwing in the mid 90s.  He is relegated to the high 80s now and an array of sinkers and sliders.  Was his awful early season performance due to poor coaching and head games by Lou? I don't know, but putting a guy in the bullpen after three bad starts, who is already a fucking lunatic is probably a really bad decision.  While Big Z was awful, he is not a bullpen guy. Dude is a horse, and for the better part of a decade the rock in the rotation, opening day starts excluded.  This season with Coach Q at the helm, I'm predicting big things for Big Z this year.  Somewhere in the neighborhood of 14-7, 7.5 k/9, 3.46 ERA is pretty fair I think.  Quade appears to be loved by the players and I have no idea why because he seems like a total energy and in your face guy, which most professionals think they are way to good for. In my opinion, a guy with his attitude is far more suited to coach the Chuninchi Dragons of the UIC 12' inch softball league , but what the hell do I know. Hopefully his attitude will rub off on these guys like Big Z, Rammy, and Soriano and they can play like the impact players they have been in the past.  So to conclude, if Big Z can keep up what he started at the end of last year, things on the north side of town should be pretty promising.
