Years before you scream at somebody or embarrass one of your teammates without even thinking about it. That's not the case anymore. They are there for you. You have to be there for them. They don't want to make errors.

I explained my situation in 2002, when I was in Triple-A and [Kyle] Farnsworth got injured on the fourth day. I explained that since then, I'm here. He was pretty calm yesterday at the house.

My crazy times are over. That's when I was a rookie. I've got seven years in the big leagues. I think some hitters say, 'Oh, Zambrano is crazy.' I used to be. Now I try to pitch my game and do my best to help this team.

Sometimes I get lucky and hit some pitches, ... I don't try to hit the ball like [Todd] Walker does, just try to make contact.

That was fun. I wasn't playing like we were trying to win the world championship or the World Cup ... just take it easy.

I tried to throw a fastball inside, and the ball kind of slipped out of my hand where I didn't want to throw it. That was a big mistake. If I walk Chipper in that situation and get a groundball with the next hitter, then nothing happens and I should win the game 2-0.
