But Two Zambranos is the Best

[Theoldmole]

Last night's matchup of Victor Zambrano (Mets) and Carlos Zambrano (Cubs) was the seventh time in Mets history that pitchers with the same last names started against each other:

You're forgetting that time that Takashi Kashiwada squared off against his brother, Bob.

The Rockies played a DH yesterday starting Sun-Woo & B.Y. Kim in each of the games.

"The Zambranos" would make a great circus act name


No- "The Lucky Zambranos"

How bizarre that five of the seven times were against the Cubs, featuring four different pairs of pitching names.

You will lose your mind when Zambranos aren't two of a kind...
