Lee not only ran away from the fight he started, but he also ran and hid behind fat, old Lou Piniella for protection! LMAO

Lee should have never thrown the punch in the first place, I agree completely. That being said, he probably realized that after it was too late.

Dude, D Lee is so money. All you Sox fans go back down to the Cell and cut my man some slack. If you never quote from 'Swingers' again in your fucking life then we've got a deal.

I love you people that say Lee was smart by RUNNING AWAY from the fight because he could have got hurt or been suspended longer. Ever think maybe the dumbass shouldn't have thrown a sucker punch to start the whole thing off?

Derek Lee couldn't hit water if he fell off of a boat.

Zambrano was in the clubhouse changing his shirt when all this happened that's why he was out late and his belt was undone. Good thing too (for Young) because I have no doubt that he would have mixed it up a bit.

Exactly. "running away" had more to do with not injuring his wrist again more than anything. Goons? please...fighting in baseball has gone on for as long as the sport itself.

While eating lunch at Micky's on Clark, some late 50's male jackass responded to the fight on TV by saying "Zambrano's a bum! They need to send him back to Mexico! He needs to be sent right back to Mexico where he belongs!" Alas, Mr. A-Hole was obviously too racist and too stupid to realize Carlos Zambrano is from Venezuela ... And to think all Zambrano did was try to take off his belt! :D He then left, with an apparently embarassed wife at his side (not sure if he was kicked out or what).

If Derrek hadn't "run away" and had stayed in the fight, maybe landing a few punches, he probably would be looking at a longer suspension. maybe a busted hand too

Good for them. There still must be some fight left in the Cubs.

I don't understand the recent media scrutiny and uproar of the fighting on the Cubs (except for Z/Barrett. That was just stupid of them). Fighting over hit-batsmen is a tradition in baseball, in general. Without me getting way off topic about my hatred of the AL, it's the only way to hold the pitcher personally accountable for his actions over there. The league over-reacted with Lou, and they'll over-react here, too. They're ruining the game, I tells ya.

The best part of the fight was watching Lee run AWAY from Young. Coward.

O.k., as they like to fight so much, why don’t we send those idiots to Iraq so they can really mix it up!
