Predict who will have the best season of the 3 main starting pitchers - Zambrano, Dempster or Lily.

I'm going to go with Dempster but still very good seasons from Z and Lilly.

And am I the only one who thinks it would be cool to have Z's citizenship ceremony at Wrigley maybe the home game closest to the 4th of July (if it's done in time)?

The thing to remember about Big Z is that, as you well know, he has a tendency to lose it mentally from time to time. Earl Weaver used to say that 90% of pitching is half mental, and I really believe that's true. That's something for you youngsters out there to remember.

Does Carlos have the talent to perform at the highest level? Absolutely. Has he been a dominant pitcher in the major leagues? Yes, he has. But will he reach his full potential if he can't learn to settle down on the mound? Time will tell.

Smells like a WZ, but maybe that's because of Joe Morgan I'm thinking that.
