Posted August 17, 200718 yr comment_8332 CHICAGO (AP) -Carlos Zambrano's long wait paid off. The Chicago Cubs' talented and emotional ace agreed Friday to a five-year, $91.5 million contract extension that features a vesting option for a sixth season. Zambrano skipped a shot at free agency and its lucrative payday to stay with the only club he's ever known. "Not everything is about money, you know," Zambrano said. "I know if I got to free agency there were a lot of things that would come to me and offer me. I feel comfortable here. I feel good here and my family feels good here." The 26-year-old righty is 14-9 with a 3.86 ERA this season. The two-time All-Star is 78-51 lifetime. http://cbs.sportsline.com/mlb/story/10300205
