Dugout fight erupts after Zambrano sees Barrett take last Gatorade


The last Cubs fan.

A fight ensued in the Cubs dugout Friday between catcher Michael Barrett and pitcher Carlos Zambrano, but the dispute wasn't about the five-run fifth inning at all. In fact, Zambrano became upset when he returned to the dugout to find Barrett holding the last Gatorade.


"Carlos just lost it when he saw Mike taking the last drink from the cooler," manager Lou Piniella said after the Cubs dropped an 8-5 decision to the Braves. "After those two started swinging at each other, I told 'Z' there were more in the clubhouse, so he went down there and that ended the fight pretty quick."


Apparently this was not an isolated incident. Two weeks ago, Zambrano snapped a towel at Scott Eyre after seeing the portly reliever taking the last bar of Irish Spring soap in the clubhouse showers.
