This was after San Diego Padres pitcher Chris Young intentionally threw at Cubs First Baseman Derrek Lee, hitting him in his surgically repaired wrist. Lee said a few words to Young, Young said something back, Derrek Lee didn't like the response, and it was on. Lee, Young, fellow Padres Pitcher Jake Peavy and Chicago Cubs hitting instructor Gerald Perry were all ejected from the game. Young may have thrown at Lee because the Padres felt the Cubs' Alfonso Soriano was showboating when he hit his homerun against the Padres Friday. I hate watching guys having baseballs aimed right at their heads, and I don't care what Chris Young says, that was intentional. No doubt, there will be suspensions and fines for all involved in this meelee.
Fast forward to the eighth inning. One Out. Carlos Zambrano has not allowed a hit to this point. Marcus Giles reaches base safely for the first hit of the game for the Padres, putting an end to Carlos Zambrano's no hit bid.
On now to the ninth inning. Full Count to Russell Branyan. He hits the ball deep, and it has just enough to make it over the ivy covered wall, into the basket for a homerun. Padres lead 1-0, and that would be the final score of this game. Carlos Zambrano allows just two hits in this game and gets the loss. However, the bigger story will be: What type of punishment will come from the melee at Wrigley?
