If anyone here is still going by the media reports and hasn't actually watched the video, I encourage you to watch it. Zambrano was an ass, there's no getting around it. But he came down the stairs into the dugout and walked past Lee before he ever said a word. He was pacing and yelling but not directly at anyone. He didn't focus on Lee till Lee spoke to him then he turned and yelled at Lee and others got in between him and Lee. All I'm saying is that this is not the way it keeps being portrayed. I have read numerous reports of Z coming down the steps yelling at Lee. This is false. I have almost no information about what exactly Z was yelling and as far as I know it may have been way beyond the pale. I'm not an apologist for him. I'm just saying that the press, and the Cubs have both exaggerated the degree of the outrage. The video simply contradicts details of the reports.
