Benches clear at Wrigley

[Sepolevne]

Chris Young lands a good punch on D-Lee.

[wisconsinfan47]

Holy cow. What provoked this?

[B2k1121]

Young hit Lee with a pitch, Lee was walking down to first and talking to Young, they got closer and Lee threw a punch.

[nullbyte]

Young hit Lee with a high inside pitch... nothing happened immediately, but Lee seemed to express his feelings to Young as he walked to 1st... Young responded, and Lee threw a punch.

 

Doesn't look like any punches really landed in the initial fight, but there was a BIG tangle of people after that...

 

Kasper just mentioned the quote from Peavy, saying he'd hit the next batter if someone showed him up the way Soriano did on his HR yesterday.. may be relevant.

[DougJones43]

Thanks for the heads up. I love watching this kind of stuff happen to the Cubs. This is awesome!!

 

The Cubs have NO CLASS,

[Sepolevne]

Young ran one up on Lee that almost hit him in the face. Lee instigated, so he'll probably get suspended.

[T B0NE 10]

its on wgn..was zambrano hitting people with his belt?? because he was holding his belt in his hand when he was pulled away from the fight

[brettac1]

Aw, man. Way to help the fantasy team, Young (I would assume he got ejected if he punched Lee in the face).

[nullbyte]

He just now did get ejected. I think Lee is still in the game, strangely enough (for throwing the first punch).

 

Edit: Never mind, Derrek is gone.

[T B0NE 10]

lee has to get ejected

[CportBadger]

Yeah they said Lee has just been ejected.

[Sepolevne]

Seeing Giles tackle Chris Young was pretty funny looking.

 

They just said Jake Peavy got ejected too.

[Braminano]

This is especially shocking considering that Lee has always been considered a "classy" guy. Out of all the players on the team who would throw a punch, he's the last person I'd expect to do this. It will be interesting to see how this impacts them with Lee's inevitable suspension.

 

That said, if it was intentional, do it to Soriano, not Lee.

[T B0NE 10]

the suspensions are gonna help the brewers http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[JohnBriggs12]

Lee threw the first punch. He's certain to face a suspension.

 

It wasn't all that clear but Zambrano was mixed up in the pile and ended up with his belt off. He did not get tossed though.

 

Umpire should have gotten between them.

 

Will be very interesting to see what Zambrano does now on the mound. He's got a no-hitter going.

"...considering that Lee has always been considered a "classy" guy. Out of all the players on the team who would throw a punch, he's the last person I'd expect to do this."

 

Being the classiest guy on the Cubs is kind of like being the best bull-fighter in Alaska.

 

Dang, now they start hitting?

[Dmiles23]

I thought it was funny. Lee threw the first punch against Young, who is a stick. Once Young swung back, Lee chickened out. If you watch, instead of going after Young further, he backs off. Then, takes an out-of-the way rout back at Young behind Pinella.

 

I'm guessing both Lee and Young get pretty lenghty suspensions.

[LUKE232323]

Couldn't happen at a better time for the Brewers, with the Cubs starting to play pretty good baseball. The fact that it's Lee makes it even better.

 

Lee should get around 5 games, he threw the first punch and I believe it did connect.

[Ennder]

First guy lined out afterwards, then an error on Theriot and then back to back walks. Hopefully Zambrano flips out here.

 

edit: lame, double play.

[Boy Jeenius]

Not. DP keeps the no hitter intact.

[trwi7]

Speaking of this game do the Padres have the absolute worst offense in the majors? God they're terrible.

[Fatter than Joey]

someone should have a meltdown graphic on standby

[Boy Jeenius]

Wow what a throw by Bocachica. Theriot was out by 10 feet.

[LUKE232323]

Yes, the Padres offense is likely the worst in baseball. Unreal how bad it is.

[Bruce Ciskie]

Just turned on WGN and saw the replay. Anyone got it on YouTube yet?
