Greg Maddux BandWGN

[Wheelimus]

Apologies if someone else started this, search is currently disabled and there's a lot of pages to look on, lol. If someone else did, she's still yours, just bringing it back!

 

Anyway, grew up a Cub fan in the 80's, one of my best memories is watching Greg pitch us to the postseason in 89. Broke my heart when he wasn't in blue the next season...

 

Might just be the Cubbie Kool-aid, but I think Greg still has one last run in him. He's hired a personal trainer for the first time in 20 years. He doesn't know if he's got anything beyond next year, so why hold anything back? Maybe, just maybe, if he reports to camp early, works his butt off and gets right into the thick of things, Greg Maddux might surprise us all.

 

He might not be as good as he was, but he might yet be as good as he ever was one time. And that may be all we need for a miracle year :lol:

I am pretty sure he was still with the Cubs in 1990. Anyways, I sure hope for our sake that he has a good year, but I am not holding my breath.

Yea he'll be awesome this year, and we'll sign him to a 3 yr 24mil contract.

FYI, Maddux departed Chicago for the Braves before the 1993 season... and then we all (or most of us) rejoiced a decade later.

And I still want to punch every idiot that says Maddux was traded to the Braves.

He'll look even more like Matthew Broderick now.

Oopsy on having my years messed up.

 

And yet, go Greg!
