Slightly OT: Big Z/Theriot

Someone in yesterday’s game thread mentioned the fact that Theriot was one of the first to give Z a big hug and then alluded to how winning cures all animosity or something. Did I miss something that happened between those two??

Zambrano was not happy

that Theriot didn’t throw out Pence on a grounder in his previous start. Supposedly led to Zambrano showing him up and players not being happy about it.
