Failing to bring up Jake Fox sooner, as you note, was the greatest crime of all.

As for 2009, Lou-ney Pinella will be the culprit, based on his insistence of playing Bradley, who is woeful offensively and defensively. Yet, like Dusty, he has an abhorrence to playing young guys, like Jake Fox, who homered two straight games, but still Pinella sat him in the third game. Why sit a hot hitter? That can cool him off, though Jake the Rake came back and homered yesterday in the 9th for what should have been a Cubs victory. Fox has the best HR and RBI-per-at bat ratio on the Cubs, and has NOT been a defensive liability (which Bradley has been), yet Lou plays him infrequently. Not easy to hit when you don’t play regularly, but Fox still keeps hitting. Seems like Pinella is trying to set him up for failure, so he can send him down. He didn’t want to bring him up in the first place, when Fox was having the best minor league season in memory.

What ‘Al says’ is so true! Alex Gonzalez blew the game for the Cubs, definitely not Bartman…How AG escapes all these years relatively unblamed for his botch is amazing.
