First Dempster, then Williamson. I hope Hedry can make it 3 for 3 on reclamation projects with Miller. Chad Fox? Not Hendry's fault, Fox was doing a great job before he became the 2nd of 3 Cubs pitchers to be injured by a line drive. I'm pretty sure that that's not how Fox got injured. Yeah.... Fox just threw a pitch and felt something snap.
