Dem Fightin' Cubbies

So when the Twibsters write about their Fightin' Cubbies tomorrow, will they mention Derek Lee, when he a clear shot at Chris Young, running behind 63-year-old Lou Piniella? (Nice, Derek, start a fight and then hide behind an old man. Lee sure fights like a Northsider). Will they mention Carlos Zambrano being more interested in preserving his doomed no hitter than in retaliating for Lee's hit-by-pitch? We'll see.

UPDATE: They didn't mention either. Paul Sullivan quotes Alfonso Soriano saying, "If they throw at somebody, we have to throw at somebody, too, because that's not fair," but then Sullivan doesn't mention that Carlos Zambrano didn't do that. Mike Downey notes that Lou Piniella fell to the ground but doesn't mention that Lee was hiding behind him. He also gets Piniella's age wrong: "Lee's impulsive actions even could have led to a serious injury for his own manager, inasmuch as the 66-year-old Piniella was knocked to the ground during the brawl."
