Not just we fans, but baseball people in general. <!--colorc-->
<!--/colorc--><!--coloro:#006400--><!--/coloro-->In '03 when Patterson was tearing it up, nobody knew he would go straight down the pooper when he tore his knee up, so why should Hendry be held to a higher standard of premeditation? <!--colorc-->
<!--/colorc--> <!--coloro:#ff0000--><!--/coloro-->As for Pie, there are very few people that thought Pie was a bust. VERY few. As it stands the jury is still out. He had a great minor league career, was bounced around and sat on the bench a bunch with the Cubs, and then was given regular playing time and thrived with the Orioles. He's 24 years old right now. You can't possibly say his love affair with Pie was bad judgment just because you "know" Pie is going to be a bust.<!--colorc-->
