Ghosts of Wayne Fontes:
In case you hadn't noticed, ever since Carlos Zambrano popped Michael Barrett in the face and Lou Pinella threw a temper tantrum on an umpire who did make the correct call, the Cubs have started to play a little bit better.

First, Carlos Zambrano took a swing at his catcher, Michael Barrett. Then he and Barrett shared a loving moment and a good cry. Then he came out yesterday and dominated the Houston Astros in a 2-1 Cubs win. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Carlos has "emotional issues."
