Chicago Fireworks
From this description of Carlos Zambrano reacting to a Pierzynski home run, and givne the brawl earlier in the series, the Cubs/White Sox cross town rivalry appears to be on a full boil. Given that the White Sox are the ones usually ignored in the town, you'd think the Cubs players would have thicker skins. Maybe with the sucess of the White Sox last year and the terrible play by the Cubs in 2006, the team from the northside isn't as loveable as in they used to be.

From talking with Cubs fans, there's a (slightly nasty, but quite understandable) level of frustration right now that I'd be surprised if it hadn't spread to the players as well. Seemingly nothing is going their wauy right now, they've had to watch the celebrations at Comiskey, and they're mightly annoyed at not just a lack of success but a lack of success in crummy ways this year.
