    Cubs Cubs fight, Zambrano not involved

    Per ESPN.com
    Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Silva and third baseman Aramis Ramirez scuffled in the dugout Wednesday during a game against the Milwaukee Brewers in Maryvale, Ariz.

    Silva did not want to talk to the media, according to a Cubs spokesperson.

    In the first inning, Ramirez made one of three Cubs errors and Silva gave up two home runs as the Brewers grabbed a 6-1 lead. It was after the inning when the scuffle ensued.

    The Cubs made headlines last season when Carlos Zambrano confronted Derrek Lee in the dugout on June 25 during a loss in U.S. Cellular Field. Zambrano was suspended and had to undergo anger management classes.

    Silva is vying for a spot in the starting rotation. He has maintained that based on his performance early last season that he already has proven he should be a starter. Cubs manager Mike Quade has not named a fourth or fifth starter at this point.
    Silva and Ramirez are some big boys so I hope there is a tape of it somewhere. I wonder if Silva will have to take anger management like Zambrano. To be fighting this early over errors is just silly to me, if that's what they were fighting over.

    I dont know whats more epic fighting on March 2nd or that Zambrano was actually a good cub scout and not involved.

    No matter what happens the truth remains they are still the Chicago Cubs and they will figure out a way to screw up anything including a 2 car funeral procession.

    I just hope this is the beginning of the end of Silva's tenure with the Cubs.

    Perhaps they were fighting over Zambrano. Like Zambrano insulted Ramirez, Ramirez gets heated, Silva defends him, and boom. So technically, Zambrano is still to blame.

    If that were true, Aramis would be dead.

    That would be true only if Carlos Silva happened to be a Negro.
