A HandyJ Favorite Hangs 'Em Up

HandyJ Darling and all around model citizen Carlos Zambrano has decided to retire rather than attempt another comeback. Big CrayZ informed reporters during Fridays Pirates/Cubs weather watch at Wrigley.

Zambrano last pitched in America with the Phillies farm system back in 2013. Things did not go well. But he does finish his career with a 132-91 record and also tossed a no hitter vs the Astros in Milwaukee. Zambrano was also a three time All-Star, three time Silver Slugger and finished in the top five of the CY Young vote 3 times.

While he was all types of crazy, Big Z was one of my all-time favorite Cubs. He was also part of two of the greatest Cubs teams ever in 2007 and 2008. However, he was part of two of the biggest disappointments in Cubs history in 2007 and 2008. The best part of Carlos in a Cubs uni was that he was crazy just like all of us.
