Farethewell, Greg Maddux
Coming off the high of the four games sweep of the Cardinals, and being in attendance of one of them, I was saddened to hear in tonight’s pregame that future hall of famer Greg Maddux has been traded away from the Cubs [again]- this time to the LA Dodgers.
I watched him as a Cub growing up. I watched him dominate for years in Atlanta after the dumb*sses in upper management traded him. I excitedly watched him come back to Chicago, hopefully to retire here as a hall of famer. Now I watch him leave again…
This, sadly, is the game of professional baseball in the modern age.

If they could just get Wood healthy so they can trade him.

In typical Cubs fashion, after sweeping the Cardinals, they lose the next game to the Diamondbacks 15-4.

Maddux is waaaay past his prime. The Cubs made their only good decision of the year getting rid of him. They should’ve dumped the Humpty Dumpty twins (Wood and Prior) and got some dependable pitching in return while they were at it.
