This is the one and only Michael Barrett action sucker punch!



As if things couldn't have gone worst for the Cubs. I assume that they just couldn't continue to lose the way they are. How can they be so bad? Yesterday, Amanda and I went to the Cubs game. Carlos Zambrano had the game wrapped up with a no hitter until the 7th inning. They still lose the game in the 9th because there isn't any moral or motivation to win.

They have a great team if everyone was healthy. But as of right now they are struggling, especially since Barrett has been sentenced for his actions, they will continue to hurt offensively. Michael Barrett was behind the plate Friday after appealing his 10-game suspension for his role in a bench-clearing melee last week when he punched A.J. Pierzynski of the White Sox. Shortly after the suspension was announced, Barrett said he had already filed an appeal, hoping to get the suspension reduced.

White Sox outfielder Brian Anderson got a five-game suspension and a fine for his participation in a brawl that led to four ejections. He was also appealing. White Sox third base coach Joey Cora was suspended two games, and Pierzynski, who knocked Barrett over at the plate prompting the punch, was fined. Barrett and Cora were also fined. Pierzynski said he is appealing the $2,000 fine. After he was punched, he went back to the dugout waving his arms and slapping hands with teammates.

Pierzynski is such a jerk, he really got everything that was coming to him. Especially after the incident in the next game, Pierzynski hit a home run and rubbed it in Carlos Zambrano's face. What a jerk! Glad to see the Cubs win that one, especially since Cubs victories come few and far between.
