Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano was ejected from today's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates after he argued a call at the plate and bumped umpire Mark Carlson.
After getting ejected, Zambrano "ejected" Carlson, threw the ball in the stands and then took his frustrations out against the Gatorade machine with a baseball bat.
I'm no marketing genius (heck, I'm no any kind of genius), but perhaps PowerAde should contact Big Z about a marketing deal?
Maybe it'll help offset the lost wages from the fine and suspension that is soon to follow...

Cubs place Carlos Zambrano on DL
The Chicago Cubs have placed pitcher Carlos Zambrano on the 15-day DL.
Zambrano tweaked his hamstring yesterday while beating a bunt in the fifth inning.
Per the Chicago Sun-Times, GM Jim Hendry expects Zambrano will "probably need two to two-and-a-half weeks" to recover.
The Cubs recalled infielder Bobby Scales from Triple-A, but they will likely call up a starter from the minors to make what would have been Zambrano's start on Friday at Milwaukee.
Per Hendry, one pitcher it won't be is Jeff Samardzija, who has been working relief for the past 11 days.
