Carlos Zambrano admitted last week that he was lazy. But he doesn’t like it when other people mention his laziness. The Cubs hurler blew up on Friday about an article published in the Chicago Sun-Times. Zambrano blasted writer Carol Slezak saying he wanted her to see him shirtless “so that she can see my body and she can see what type of body that I have.” He went on to say that he got hurt because people get hurt and he’s not a machine. Makes sense to me. I hope that this verbal sparring does eventually turn into “physical confrontation.” If not, maybe Zambrano can at least call Slezak fat at some point in the near future.
Via Chicago Sun Times:
He was particularly upset by a Carol Slezak column in the Sun-Times this week that included this message: ”If I were running the Cubs, I’d be looking for a way to make this lazy pitcher somebody else’s problem.”
Zambrano’s response: ”That lady that says I was lazy, I want to see her on Tuesday. I want to be with no shirt so that she can see my body, and she can see what type of body I have. If I’m lazy, lazy people don’t have this body, so I’m going to show her my guns so that she can call me lazy again.
”I’m sorry, people get hurt. We are human, and we get hurt. … We are not machines.”
