Maddux to the Cubbies...

[irishkb]

Looks like the Cubbies are serious this year....
they got the missing pitching piece they needed....
could the Cubbies be the team of the National League.....
does anyone care about this... I am just glad that Maddux is not in yankee pinstripes....

Back to where it all started.... (http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/story/7096938)

I'm a Yankees fan & I agree with you. One less Boras client & one less day out of every 5 where we know we'll have to go to our bullpen in the 6th inning is fine by me.

But with him now in Chicago, if the Cubbies can keep healthy all season and just get to the playoffs, I think you would have to make them the favorites in just about any NL postseason series.

Why would you give old, washed up Greg Maddux a 3 year deal?

they're getting a prima donna with diminished skills and a spotty postseason record. its not much to be happy about. he could very easily turn into another glavine.

and i'm glad he's not in pinstripes either.

[schmega]

clemens is a dick, but not a prima donna. he doesnt take himself out of games, or demand a personal catcher.

[WindowSill]

and his skill arent that diminished either, 17-9 aint bad

Can someone please make me a Mets Sig? Thanx

[Freakshow]

Still, he had 'diminished skills' and a spotty postseason records when he went to the Yanks (obviously his skills weren't really that diminished).


I don't know much about baseball, but I see similar things in college recruiting. Someone is just wonderful until they decide to not go to your school. Then all the sudden they have more flaws than you could count. Just human nature, I guess.

I'm not a Maddux fan, BUT I hope he wins 300 at Wrigley and please NOT at Shea or Turner.
