Baltimore is not a very good team.

The Nationals should be able to beat them today. Stay crafty, Livan. And score runs, the rest of you.

he has a share in the poor showing the Cubs have had this year. And this is not his first tantrum. I still think Michael Barrett was treated unfairly back in 2007 after Zambrano’s and his altercation.
