CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano was suspended for six games by Major League Baseball on Thursday for his tirade this week during a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Zambrano's agent, Barry Praver, said the penalty, which included a $3,000 fine, a source told ESPNChicago.com, will not be appealed. The suspension began Thursday night and barring rainouts Zambrano will be eligible to pitch next Thursday at Atlanta.
The Cubs ace threw a baseball into left field, slammed his glove against the dugout fence, and used a bat to smash a Gatorade dispenser in the Cubs' dugout after he was ejected Wednesday with Chicago leading 2-1 in the seventh inning of a 5-2 victory Pittsburgh.
"I apologize for that. Like I said, I should have more control of myself in that situation," Zambrano said after the game. "I just wanted to get out of that inning and win the ballgame. I didn't say a bad word. I should have gone to the clubhouse and keep watching the game. I apologize for throwing the ball and the other things."
With Nyjer Morgan at third, Zambrano's wild pitch just got away from catcher Geovany Soto. Zambrano covered the plate for Soto's throw, Morgan slid and umpire Mark Carlson ruled him safe.
Zambrano jumped up, argued and was ejected after he appeared to nudge Carlson. Zambrano then pointed in Carlson's face and gave him the ejection sign.
He then fired a ball into left, tossed his glove and took a bat to a dugout drink dispenser before heading to the clubhouse.
Bob Watson, baseball's vice president in charge of discipline, cited Zambrano for "inappropriate and violent actions on the field and in the dugout."
Information from The Associated Press and ESPNChicago.com was used in this report.
I don't think it warranted a six game suspension, but obviously he did since he will serve it and won't appeal. It kills us though cause he was another bat off the bench too. Oh well.
Between coming to blows in the dugout, and this recent tirade, is the a bigger nutjob currently in the bigs than Z? Ironically the only other guy I could think of is is teammate Milton Bradley.
I could see Zambrano pulling a Ron Artest at some point in his career.

I would love to see him attack some Sox fans. That would be so damn hilarioous!
I know, because in crunch time he'd probably lose hahahahaha.
I guess that's why he's the only national league pitcher who's won at least 13 games in every season since 2003. And just in case the playoffs response comes, He's pitched well in his playoff games. In 07, Lou pulled him to save him for game four, which resulted in a loss and the sweep. Last year, His defense let him down with 4 errors for 5 UNEARNED runs. It seems to me that Zambrano comes ready to pitch. His team usually lets him down.

It was more of a cheap shot at the Cubs as whole than Zambrano personally haha.
