I think I was out of the game mentally, ... I was fighting with the umpires, and I was mad at (Murton). ... I apologized to him. I have five years in the big leagues. I don't have to do that.

That was a good at-bat, and I think that was the key of the game. He's getting more comfortable.

If you walk somebody, you just have to get the next hitter out. You can't be frustrated about walks or who is on base. If you've got good stuff that night, you're good enough to get the next hitter out.

I feel good. Everything is working. I'm more comfortable, more experienced, I know the league better. I just go out there and have fun.
Carlos Zambrano

Maybe next Spring Training, I will work on that.

I believe this year, I can win the Cy Young, and besides that, we will win the World Series. I guarantee that. I have faith in that.

I don’t know. But it’s my option. I don’t want to leave Chicago. I want to be successful here. I want to help this team, like I always say, be in the pennant race… I don’t want to leave, and I don’t think I will leave.

I was lost on that play. I lost concentration a little bit. I thought he was on the bag. I made a mistake.

He told me basically this is your ballgame and the ball is in your hand

When you know yourself, you know you can change and do something. You think of the mistakes you make and don't make the same mistake again.

The thing I've seen about people on the computer and the Internet is that it's addicting. We told him not to get on it, and you turn around and he's on the computer.

That was fun. I wasn't playing like we were trying to win the world championship or the World Cup ... just take it easy.
Carlos Zambrano
-
That's a gift from God. I'm there to pitch.
Carlos Zambrano
-
In the first inning, there is always something wrong. I hit somebody, I walk somebody, there's a blooper. But that's part of the game. You have to be able to control yourself and make good pitches to get yourself out of trouble.

Luck is something you always need to have. We have more chance than the Cardinals. They don't have some of the players they had last year, like Matt Morris. We have to start winning the first month, as many games as possible. We have a good team. We have everything.
Carlos Zambrano
-
For me, mentally I'll prepare like a normal game, like I was the No. 4 starter. I just wanted to be focused for the game and not worry about anything else, not think about it being opening day.
Carlos Zambrano
-
It's going to be hard to win without Wood and Prior. We have to do the best things possible with the other pitchers we have. We have a great offense. When those two guys come back, we'll be much better.
Carlos Zambrano

I told him, 'Run the bases, don't try to be cocky
Carlos Zambrano
-
I pitch with emotion. I don’t know any other way.
Carlos Zambrano
-
Hopefully, it's nothing and he'll be ready for the season. I wish him luck and hope he gets healthy.
Carlos Zambrano

I just said he (Umpire Dale Scott) needed glasses
Carlos Zambrano

I just told him to run the bases and don't try to be cocky.

My dad's very temperamental. Even today, he can be difficult.
Carlos Zambrano

I really wasn't looking to strike people out, ... I was looking to get groundballs.
