Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano had to be separated from Derrek Lee in their dugout after the first inning of a game against the White Sox Friday afternoon.
Zambrano exploded in the dugout after allowing four runs and stormed from one end to the other. Lee said something to Zambrano ((we guess)), and as Zambrano headed back, manager Lou Piniella, pitching coach Larry Rothschild and bench coach Alan Trammell stepped between them.
Cubs catcher Geovany Soto grabbed Zambrano and pulled him away on his own.
Zambrano was swapped out for Tom Gorzelanny.
No one knows, really, why Zambrano went after Lee...
But the nutty is awesome...
PM UPDATE: Zambrano has been suspended indefinitely by the Cubs...
"His conduct wasn't acceptable," Cubs general manager Jim Hendry said after the game. "His actions toward his teammates and staff were not acceptable.
"He will not be at the ballpark tomorrow. We'll play with 24. We'll play with 24 before we tolerate that kind of behavior."
Here's more from Hendry, thanks to our friends at WGN-TV...
Zambrano is in the middle of a five-year, $91-million contract...
And he tried to call someone... anyone... from the player's lot at Comiskey after the game... to a level lacking success...

If you listen carefully you can hear Zambrano urinating in the parking lot at just about half way through the video.
