[Jurassic Referee]

Here's another good one from today for all the Cubbies' fans.....

Click on the video on the right of this link and watch Carlos Zambrano pick a fight in the dugout with his own catcher, Michael Barrett.

Zambrano busted up Barrett so badly that he had to be hospitalized.

Lou Piniella has to be wondering whatinthehell he's got himself into......

Hell - even Torre says that what A-Rod did was crud.

Methinks A-Rod might be wearing a thicker helmet during his first AB on July 16.

Interesting. Wonder how long until Torre says it would have been better if Whitey Ford never scuffed the ball, Reggie Jackson didn't hip check Bill Russell's throw into right field and Jason Giambi never injected those illegal drugs into himself. Might be nice if he gave his opinion of Peter Rose ending Ray Fosse career too.

I can't wait to hear about the great MLB conspiracy that he's gonna expose.

The Yankees just own Wakefield. He's 0-3 against them this year and he's something like 1-9 in his last 10 starts against them. (And before Dan mentions it, how could anybody forget Aaron Dextering Boone?) Wake started off strong, but the knuckler hasn't been as effective recently.

The next couple should be fun.
