Carlos Zambrano Good Quotations

I've been working hard on strength and conditioning. When you do a good job and take care of your body, at the end of the season you feel strong.

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.

We're hanging in there, staying within two or three games of first place. That we're pretty close without Prior and Wood is a good sign.

I was behind in the count too much. Today was a tough game. I wasn't hitting spots good. I missed a lot of pitches and missed spots a lot of times. When you do that, you have to come right down the middle. That's why they hit the ball good today, because I was missing my spots.

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

I don't want to talk about my hitting. My job is to pitch a good ballgame every time out. The triple was a gift. I take pride in my hitting, but I'm not a hitter.

I will do that. Everything that matters right now is that I'm with the Cubs, and I'm in a good position now. I don't have to get hurt. Like I said, my main concern is to be with the Cubs and help the Cubs.

That's amazing. That proves that Venezuela has a lot of players good enough to be in the Major Leagues. I'm very proud for my country, for all those people who are playing in the Major Leagues from Venezuela.
