Wrigley return nothing special for Maddux

Mon, 12 May 2008 10:36:06 +1900

The drama was taken out of Greg Maddux's return to Wrigley Field this week when he won his 350th game late Saturday, becoming only the third pitcher since the 1920s to do it. San Diego closer Trevor Hoffman handed Maddux the ball after saving a 3-2 victory over Colorado. "I'll take any free ball I can get," Maddux said in typical low-key fashion.

Cubs interested in Edmonds

Tue, 13 May 2008 12:40:00 +1900

First of all, be sure to read Harry’s piece on the pitchf/x summit below this one. Good stuff. It appears inevitable that the Cubs will sign Jim Edmonds on Wednesday (Edmonds reportedly told his agent to talk to no other team). Sullivan and Whittenmeyer have written pretty much the same thing this evening. Look, there’s not much to say about this. I ...

Great article on a topic that I totally agree with. Every time I've seen the Cubs this year, they've had the Fonze batting lead off. How many walks does this guy get a year? Like 12?
