Yea, they're saying it was self-inflicted. Was he throwing a fit or just trying to see what would happen if he swung a bat into a wall? "I fouled off the second pitch and did something I've done since I was a kid. I had the bat in my left hand and hit it with my right hand." It's one of those things that people lambaste you for if it goes bad, but I'll bet lots of players do these sorts of things. Who doubts Zambrano would take a pasting if he had to sit out because he badly bruised his thigh after a strikeout? I think the White Sox are still winning that division. i don't know...they don't have crede either...i think the twinkies take it all the way now
