Is Garner’s obsession with finding a voodoo curse to put on Zambrano actually the result of a failed romance?
Well, you might remember this story breaking a few weeks ago about Houston Astros manager Phil Garner wanting to put a voodoo hex on Chicago Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano. At the time, it was a cheeky, funny, quirky little suggestion by a laid-back old-school baseball guy. Now, however, it seems to be getting a little too creepy.
Garner still hasn’t dropped the issue, and is apparently talking about it with more seriousness and detail than ever. Old Scrap Iron’s comments from the Houston Chronicle:
I’m confused. I went online now and looked for my voodoo guy, and I’m going to have to pick one here tonight and try to get it, but most of these curses are against lovers, and get your lover back and get revenge. I got to find one that puts a curse on a baseball player. I went on there, and 50 of them popped up there. How to get your lover back. How to get even with your lover…’
Personally, I think this is all just a sham cover-up. I bet Garner and Zambrano are actually estranged lovers, and Garner just wants it to look good when he goes online and buys one of these lover-revenge voodoo curses. Even if that’s not the case, Garner’s obsession is about one step short of Robert DeNiro’s obsession of Wesley Snipes in The Fan. Next thing you know, Zambrano’s going to end up getting carved up (sorry - all YouTube had was a German re-enactment of this scene) by Garner in the steam room.
Besides, with all the steroid controversy in baseball, we don’t need a voodoo controversy on top of it. Unless the name Pedro Cerrano is in the same sentence, I don’t want to hear anything else about this voodoo nonsense.
