Jay Mariotti gets it 100% correct.

It's one thing to succumb to injuries and stinking-bad luck, quite another to suffer a pathetic, childish meltdown in the biggest game of a wobbling Cubs season. In one of the damndest things you'll ever see on a baseball field, Carlos Zambrano foolishly waged a purpose-pitch war with Jim Edmonds and the potent St. Louis Cardinals on an embarrassing night at Wrigley Field, hitting Edmonds twice and challenging the opposition as if he were a plus-size Pedro Martinez.

In the end, the Cardinals were the men's men while Zambrano departed as the little boy, ejected in the eighth inning after MVP candidate Scott Rolen rocked him for a two-run homer and Zambrano followed by cowardly plunking Edmonds. This exhibition of petulance is among many reasons why a white flag should be placed atop the center-field pole and the Cardinals should be declared National League Central champions.

It's over. At this point, the Cubs will be fortunate to win a wild-card berth.
