Michael Barrett, You Heated Man
From ESPN.com...
Michael Barrett says he has already moved on past his second dugout argument with a Cubs pitcher in two weeks. Whether fans and teammates will let it go remains to be seen.
Barrett, who got into a dugout shoving match and then a clubhouse brawl with Carlos Zambrano during a game earlier this month, had a heated discussion with left-hander Rich Hill in the fourth inning of Chicago's 5-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday night. Cameras trained on the Cubs dugout caught the two arguing after Hill gave up an RBI single to Seattle pitcher Jarrod Washburn.
"It was the heat of the moment," Barrett said.From FTT's Exclusive Cubs Locker Room Cameras, here's Barrett and Hill later. I think that's Derek Lee walking in at the end.
Update -- Looks like Barrett's grabbing some pine. Work on your dancing!
Further Update -- Cubbies send Barrett to San Diego for a bucket of balls. Cub Nation, your long national nightmare is over. They're going to the Series now!

You should've seen Barrett drop an easy out at home in the top 13th against the Mariners last night. Jose Vidro, who is about as fast as Barry Bonds, actually stopped at 3rd, then took off running again through the stop sign, and was out by about 10 feet, didn't even bother to slide, Barrett received a perfect strike at the plate and DROPPED IT. He didn't notice he had dropped it for about five seconds.
Vidro had wiggled around Barrett, the tag and the dropped ball, stumbled to a stop about five feet past home plate, and had enough time to turn, waddle over to the plate and step on it to score the go-ahead run. It was the most bizarre, comically bad play at the plate I had ever seen.
Philly Fan has a few Rod Barajas stories to share with you. He's Hextall-esque at blocking the plate -- i.e., he gives you the five-hole all day long....
