I love this! After you read the story you will see why Bobby Cox is destined for the Hall of Fame. He stands up for his guys and lights fires. That in turn makes them play harder for him.

In the past week we've had Clements tossed for dinging a batter in defense of his guy, and now Cox getting the hook. We see this almost every day, but I don't think we see it enough. I believe 'ol Bronson Arroyo could take a hint from these guys.
