Throw the ump out

How come when the Ump screws up or bumps a player they are not ejected.  While watching the Cubs play the Pirates the home plate ump was arguing with Carlos Zambrano.  During the argument the umpire got to close to Zambrano and Carlos brushed him off with his elbow.  The umpire then ejected Zambrano for bumping him.  Are you kidding me!!!  Who holds the umpire accountable in this case the player was attempting to move the umpire who was clearly in the wrong.  All individuals on the field should be held to the same code of conduct.  I can only hope that the league will do something to remedy this issue.
