CHICAGO (AP) — Now the Chicago Cubs are really getting beat up — by each other.Carlos Zambrano and catcher Michael Barrett shoved each other in the dugout, then the pitcher busted his teammate’s lip in the clubhouse so badly that Barrett wound up in a hospital.

Even before Friday’s slugout in the dugout, the Cubs were a lost cause, writes Gene Wojciechowski.

Oh yeah, the Cubs lost again, 8-5 to the Atlanta Braves on Friday.”I only have so many players that I can play. You know?” manager Lou Piniella said during a postgame media session with reporters that escalated into shouting. “And it’s about time some of them start playing like major leaguers! Or, get somebody else in here that can catch the damn ball or run the bases properly! All right? That’s all I can say!”Piniella left the interview room, muttering a profanity along the way. It wasn’t clear if he was singling out Barrett, who had a baserunning blunder earlier in the week, or referring to the whole team.Both players will be disciplined Saturday, according to the manager.

Zambrano and Barrett were forced off the field and continued their fight in the clubhouse, meaning we don’t get to watch the impressive punch that resulted in Barrett’s trip to the hospital. But thanks to the miracle of science and photography, we do get to see the fight starting in the dugout.
