BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Imagine a rotation of Carlos Zambrano, Jake Peavy, Rich Harden, Ted Lilly, and Ryan Dempster. They'd win 110 games!

I like Roy Halladay here, but if he gets taken Carlos Zambrano or Roy Oswalt would be fine too

It wasn't Aramis Ramirez or Alfonso Soriano or [Ryan] Dempster or Carlos Zambrano. It was the whole team that struggled, and that's why we lost.

It was a good experience, and I’d definitely do it again ... Now we know what it’s all about and we’d have time to prepare. You can see in a couple guys who didn’t play winter ball, they didn’t have good timing. I think Carlos Zambrano was practicing and throwing early, and it didn’t make any difference for him.

Like our midseason move bringing in Rich Harden, or signing Carlos (Zambrano) last year, we try to make good long-term decisions for our organization. We use that guiding principle in whatever we’re doing. We assume the new owner will appreciate those things and not have a difficulty with them

Let him be ... I like it. I've got no problem with his antics at all. Z's better when he's crazy.
