Who’s Running the Show? (Part 2)

Luis Gonzalez might be as popular in Arizona as Maddux is in Chicago. But even nice guys can do dumb things, as Gonzo did a few weeks ago when he found out that rookie Carlos Quentin was starting in his place.

So Gonzalez has a hissy fit that he wasn’t playing and said some things he shouldn’t have. These things are reported, of course. And being unable to let a bad situation die, Gonzo comes out with this response:

I was upset about the way I was perceived...When I picked up the paper, it made me look like an (expletive), and I’m not.

Gonzalez later said, “I’ve been playing long enough. I know what’s going on.”

You’d think someone who knows what’s going on would acknowledge that he was perceived as an (expletive) because he had acted like an (expletive).
