<b>Zambrano's tantrum S.O.P. for Cubs</b>
By Rob Neyer
Brilliant:
"Boy, every time we come here," Piniella joked.

It's good that Piniella can joke about it. It's good that Piniella can joke about the second time in two years that a high-visibility, well-paid player had to be sent home in the middle of a season.<b> It's good that Piniella can joke about something that almost never happens in other organizations (let alone solid organizations).</b> It's good that Piniella can joke about Zambrano's second dugout fight in three years.

I don't know. Seems to me that <b>while Zambrano's obviously got some anger issues, the Cubs also have some management issues.</b> Their general manager keeps committing gobs of money to players who can't control their tempers, and their manager just throws up his hands and makes jokes.

None of it matters much this season. But I'll bet next spring we see an "Under New Management" sign.

Baseball writers never let the truth get in the way of a story. There was no fight yesterday.
