After the game, Cubs manager Mike Quade was as confusing as his teammates upon his arrival Zambrano in the clubhouse and saw the pot is gone and his locker was empty. "I am very disappointed," he said, according to the Associated Press. "His locker is empty. He walked 24 guys ... I do not know where to go or what he does."
After ejecting the Braves bench clearing, but were warned by the main plate umpire Tim Timmons for not charging the field.
