Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano looked good in a single-A level rehab start last night for the Peoria Chiefs, pitching five shut-out innings. Said Big Z on his 74-pitch outing: "I felt good...My slider was a little flat, but I have to settle back, do my rehab, work on my pitches and have some fun and get ready for my start on Tuesday." Z even had a clever response to the Sun-Times' Carol Slezak, who took Zambrano to task this week after the pitcher admitted to being lazy. From ESPNChicago:

"I've been doing my rehab on my core, working hard," he said. "For that lady to say I was lazy, I want to see her on Tuesday. I want to be with no shirt so she can see my body, so she can see the body I have. Lazy people don't have this body, so I'm going to show her my guns."

He then flexed his biceps.

Sometimes, there are no words...
