As the player's union challenges the Cubs' placement of Carlos Zambrano on the disqualified list, fans are wondering whether or not the team's winningest pitcher over the last 10 years will ever pitch again for the Cubs.
Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal says the White Sox still have a chance to win the AL Central Division if their two top hitters improve, but it's time for the Cubs to look forward to future seasons.
Throughout the season, the White Sox have been plagued with an inconsistent offense and, at times, a shaky bullpen. It's their starting pitching that's kept them afloat, and can keep the season alive.
Carlos Zambrano has been the center of several Cubs storylines this season, unfortunately they haven't been because of stellar pitching performacnes.

Starlin Castro remains to be the most exciting player on the Chicago Cubs, but he's also the player with the more uncertain future.
The Chicago Cubs have a 4-5 record on the season, but only one of their losses have been by more than two runs, so with a little more offensive production, the team could be off to a much better start.
