Gordon Wittenmeyer of the Chicago Sun Times reports that the suspended Carlos Zambrano says that Friday's dugout explosion was "completely misunderstood" and blames Derrek Lee for the incident.
"All he wanted to do was pump the team up" said a Zambrano source when apparently Derrek Lee rudely interrupted him in the middle of his inspirational speech.*
Of course, anybody who saw the video knows this is laughable.
Sources also told Wittenmeyer that Zambranos' rant, much of it in Spanish, included him screaming "This team is horses---!"
Maybe but you can't say it. Especially with a 5.66 ERA.
Aren't guaranteed contracts great?
*Who is this guy's agent? This is not helping one bit if you ask me.

Barry Praver is his agent. He also manages Livan Hernandez and Juan Uribe.
I think he needs to tell his client that he will be the only source of information here for the press.
He should also be composing the apology that Zambrano is obviously going to have to deliver to his teammates.
Apology for what? Zambrano was totally professional and under control.
