Cubs suspend Zambrano indefinitely after incident
Baseball Betting Lines
06/25/2010 -
Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Cubs indefinitely suspended
starting pitcher Carlos Zambrano for his actions during Friday's game against
the White Sox.
After allowing four runs in the first inning of an eventual 6-0 loss, Zambrano
(3-6) was visibly upset and got in a heated exchange with teammate Derrek Lee
in the Cubs' dugout. The outburst ended with an overturned cooler and spelled
the end of Zambrano's outing, as Tom Gorzelanny was on the mound at the start
of the second.
After the game, the Cubs announced the suspension for the fiery right-hander,
who was making his fifth start since being reinserted into the starting
rotation.
For the season, Zambrano has pitched to a 5.66 earned-run average in 22 games
-- nine starts.
The 29-year-old was also suspended six games last season by Major League
Baseball after an in-game incident saw him initiate contact with an umpire,
launch a baseball into left field and take a bat to a Gatorade bucket.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.
Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.
According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).
Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.
''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.
Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.
''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''
Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.
”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
