Sick Cubs Fans Direct Ugliness at Uggla

'"People have been all over him," Luis Gonzalez said. "Sometimes, you sit next to him on the bench and say, 'Sheesh, take it easy on him.' Especially the Cubs fans. They think they're going to the World Series and he cost them the home-field advantage.Cubs fans are famous for misplaced blame. Steve Bartman can't show his face in Chicago, while Alex S. Gonzalez ... who made a huge error right after that Bartman play during the '03 NLCS, gets off relatively unscathed. Now, fans of a team that hasn't been to a World Series in 100 years has already placed blame for them losing this year's Series on three errors in an All-Star game which had absolutely zero to do with the outcome of that game. Yeah, that's why the Cubs will lose the Series. Must be.' (Fanhouse)
