Chicago Cubs manager Mike Quade says pitcher Carlos Zambrano cleaned out his locker and ''walked out'' on the team after giving up five homers in Friday night's 10-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves.

Quade said he is ''really disappointed'' in Zambrano and said ''he's talking about retiring.''

Zambrano (9-7) gave up eight runs on eight hits. The five homers allowed set a career high.

Zambrano was ejected by plate umpire Tim Timmons in the fifth inning after throwing two inside pitches to Chipper Jones, the second going all the way to the backstop. The brushback pitches followed homers by Freddie Freeman and Uggla.

Jones and Jose Constanza also hit homers off Zambrano.

Said Quade: ''I can't have a guy walking out on 24 guys, that's for damn sure.''
