Carlos Zambrano of the Chicago Cubs, according to ESPN Insider, will retire after his current contract is up.

.Zambrano wants out in 5 years

Carlos Zambrano | Cubs

Carlos Zambrano announced his retirement - five years from now.

The Cubs right-hander earned his 100th career victory Friday against the Reds and was asked to put the win in the context of Randy Johnson's 300th a day earlier.

"For 300, me? No, I'll be out of here in five years," Zambrano told the Chicago Sun-Times.

After his response drew laughter, Zambrano added, "No, believe me. After this contract I'm done. I'm serious. Because I don't want to play anymore."

Zambrano will be 32 when his five-year, $91.5 million contract expires after the 2012 season --33, assuming a sixth-year, vesting option is reached.

"I want to help this team and do everything possible to win with this team. After five years, or four years, or whatever it is, that's it. I just don't want to play. I want to stay at home and see my daughter grow up and be with my family more."

He has since made it clear that he meant after his current contract is up.

And coming from a headcase like big Z, who is surprised?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that either the Cubs or some other team will offer him enough cash to reconsider when the time comes.

      Bills predictions

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      I’ve heard that Vegas looks at only 3 things when predicting games and setting the line 1. HC     2  Qb       3. Injuries  If that flash card is true, then it is the Bills to win   Add to it, , the Bills have lost 2 in a row and coming off a bye   They cannot afford to allow the Patriots to hang around by getting a 3rd loss.   That does not bode well for Carolina  to me though  1. it is all on the Panthers oline.  If Lewis returns at full strength, and perform at a high level, huge. 2 the defense needs to pressure and spy on Allen. Stop Allen and you stop the Bills   He is their biggest threat  he will make plays but make him pay for every single one  3. Canales, lord have mercy, for the love of god, don’t overthink this…start Rico, run Rico and no trick plays…      START RICO.  RUN THE BALL WITH RICO. RUN THE BALL WITH RICO        Control,the clock   Keep Allen on the bench        IF YOU ARE GOING  To PASS, PLAY ACTION ON FIRST  DOWN If 1 thru 3 happen            Panthers 30.  Bills 28 and joy reigns in the Queen City

      To be fair we don't know how Mccaffrey would have looked had he been drafted by the Saints with Sean Peyton and Drew Brees Nor how Kamara would have looked with Mike Shula.

      Not sure why everyone is down on the guy, he's 5x better than Plumber and in equal situations can throw a better ball than Bryce or Dalton
