That's why his teammates are throwing him under the bus today, and why Lou and Jim are basically telling the world that Z is a huge asshole that they can't wait to get rid of.

Sure there is. Like when they moved him to the bullpen originally to piss him off enough to want to waive his no trade clause. If someone is such a prick and terrible teammate, don't sign him to a $92 M deal then. Carlos hasn't changed in the past year (other then pitching worse), he's always been an asshole, a crazy fucker, and a hot head. I've always said if he was on another team, I'd fucking hate him.

Yeah, I think this is a good point. I think the Cubs end up looking like idiots because by now overeating to the Z blow-up they're doing another Milton Bradley, another Sammy leaving the game thing. You know what you've got when you sign these guys, or at least you should. If you're going to treat and react to them one way if/when they produce, and in a totally different way when they're not producing, you're sending out a message that you don't know what the hell you're doing. Is it important that guys are good teammates and are sane or not? If the answer is that it's only important if they're sucking, that puts you in a weird gray area where you look like you have no idea what you're doing.

Am I just so Cubs centered that I don't recall these types of things happening on other teams?

They don't, not with this frequency.
