Cubs Meltdown

How could things get any worse?

Yesterday, Zambrano gets in a fight with Barrett once in the dugout and then once in the locker room smashing Barrett's lip so bad he had to go to the hospital.

Today, Piniella loses his freaking mind! The umpire claims Piniella kicked him while he kicked dirt on him and now Loco Lou could be suspended for who knows how long!

I have to admit however that it is always pretty funny watching a grown man throw a temper-tantrum on live television. I love seeing Lou's head go bouncing around as he screams directly in the umpires face and I especially love when a manager kicks dirt on another grown mans shoes. Hilarious! It doesn't get any better than that. The only thing better is when a manager piles up dirt on homeplate or takes a base out of the ground altogether and throws it in the outfield. I love baseball! Where else can a grown man act like a newborn baby??? Awesome!

This all leads me to a great new manager tantrum that happened within the last few days. My favorite part is his army crawl to the pitcher's mound, grabbing the rosin bag, taking the pin out like it's a grenade and throwing it at the umpire. These things are getting so much more creative. There's an art to it. Check it out HERE.

the stench around wrigley really is getting foul. it almost makes me feel sorry for y'all.

by the way, i know the cards suck too. but at least we didn't spend $300,000,000 to pay for our trip to the bottom.
