Since the other thread was closed I will start another one to talk about OUR Chicago Cubs.
Maddux was sensational last night. Eight Innings of 3 hit ball...retiring the first 9 hitters. I never would have thought that he would come out and pitch like this, especially after the past couple of seasons of mediocrity. You know you have to be masterful when your fastball tops 83 mph! The Cubs needed this in a BAD way!!!! Way to go!!!!
Bullpen has been very good this year. I listened to the Cubs GM Hendry on the Rome show last week and he took all the blame for last years club. He said that everyone was alway's bashing Baker for the losses when in all actuallity it was his fault for not getting the players for Baker. I have been a Hendry basher on this board over the winter but I do have to give him props for what he has done. Next line of business for him is to get OF Felix Pie and Pitcher Angel Guzman up to the bigs. Both are great prospects who are tearing up AAA right now.
Zambrano needs to get his act together tonight! LETS GO CUBS!!!!!!
