Off topic: God bless Lou Piniella, the man who was too good to coach the lowly Nats.
In Chicago's game tonight, "The Atlanta Braves had just scored five runs in the inning, including one after a combination passed ball and throwing error by Michael Barrett. After the Cubs players came off the field, Zambrano confronted Barrett in the dugout, pointed to his head, and then took a swing at the catcher. His palm was open, and he slapped Barrett. Zambrano was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the fifth, and Barrett was supposed to stay in the game. But he had gone into the clubhouse and got into another fight with Zambrano there. Barrett was replaced defensively in the sixth by Koyie Hill. Cubs officials said Barrett was taken to a local hospital. His lip was cut from the clubhouse fight."
And we could have had Barrett instead of Schneider!
