We All Go a Little Mad Sometimes. Carlos Zambrano, More Times Than Most.

Carlos Zambrano is known for his emotional outbursts during games, but what he did Wednesday was even over-the-top for him:  after getting tossed by the ump for arguing a bang-bang play at the plate, the man known affectionately as Big Z (the “Z” does not stand for “Zreally Freaking Nuts”) expressed his irritation by taking up a bat and smashing the bejesus out of the Gatorade machine in the dugout, almost taking out Cubs pitching coach Larry Rothschild in the process.  Carlos is lucky there’s no such organization as People for the Ethical Treatment of Sports Drinks Dispensers, cause he’d be on the wrong end of a backlash right now.  Miraculously, given that these are the Cubs, the episode did not end with Carlos pulling something and ending up on the DL.
