The Cubs' medical staff is keeping a close eye this week on pitcher Carlos Zambrano, who has had stiffness in the right shoulder/neck area since his start Saturday against the Pirates. It's not considered serious and didn't appear to have a significant effect in his no-decision Saturday. Zambrano (6-1), who has minor discomfort when he turns his head to the left, threw a full bullpen session Tuesday and remains on track to make his next scheduled start Friday.

I hope Big Z is healthy, but then again he pitches in the NL Central, so I hope he needs some time off.

Zambrano's a jerk-off!

Hard to imagine him running into issues in May given his decathlete-like workout regimine, diet and physique.

Maybe he's suffering because he cut back on the caffeine a few weeks back...

What's he pointing at in the picture? The gigantic blimp that looks like a bratwurst?

Injuries happen, no big deal. Better now than in September

Some baboon told me he's seeing an extraterrestrial on the sly.

Damn, those were some of the funniest responses I've read in a while, thanks guys.

Haven't the Cubs already played the Pirates like 39 times this year??? The Pirates do nothing but lay down for the Cubs, and the Cubs have them on their schedule 5 series every month......

rhymeister,does that massage come with a happy ending ? if so,order me one too !

TenRings,
Your sorry Cardinals play the Pirates the EXACT same amount of times, genius.

May 21, 2008  01:27 PM ET

They should be more concerned with his continuing failure to reign in his emotions. Big Z needs to see ze shrink. But it wouldn't surprise me if the Cubs have another pitcher with arm problems due to overusing him.
