Godspeed, Todd Walker & Greg Maddux...

[Sammy Sofa]

Well done escaping this crushing pit of futility and mediocrity known as the Chicago Cubs.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Adios, fellas.

[bleedcubbieblue]

All the while, being able to enjoy Southern Cal living, not a bad gig, if you can get it. Good luck to both of those guys!

Now if the fans can only escape the futility.

GL to Greg!

 

Managed to capture this photo of Greg's last game.

Nice photo!! I look forward to visiting Cooperstown when Maddux gets inducted even if it will be as a Brave.

[hardcorecubfan]

nice photo

 

he will always be a Cub. I wish hi the best and want him in the WS.

 

Unless we make an incredible run :roll:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Good luck with the Fathers, Todd. You will be missed.

Now you're closer to Holywood, but yet far enough away.

Thanks Greg for everything positive you brought to this club - you're always a Cub in my eyes and it's a sad day to see you leaving. Good for you - you're closer to your family and you're now away from that toothpick sucking imbecile. I pray for your sake that if you hang out in LA next year he doesn't end up in some capacity with the Dodgers after we finally give him the gate. Nah, won't happen, Cub management seems to be to delusional to make him go away. He'll probably be here long after you retire.

Todd - I'm sure you're shaking your head wondering what you had to do to be looked at as a major contributor here. I know I am. Thanks for all the hustle, professionalism, and base hits.

Good luck to you both.

I'll miss you and I love you still, Todd Walker.

 

Greg Maddux....meh.

[DiamondMind]

Honestly, I can't see Todd having a fun time trying to play 3B.

I'll miss you and I love you still, Todd Walker.

 

Greg Maddux....meh.

 

The love fans of this team have for Greg Maddux has always baffeled me. One of the funniest moments in professional sports was the befuddled look on Greg's face when all you could here were boo's when they announced the rosters for the 2003 NLDS game 1....which you might remember was in Atlanta.

Is that Mark Prior in the background, quietly yearning not for his arm to be 100 percent, but to have said arm wrapped around Jennifer Aniston?

I absolutely love the slide photo vs. Oakland with Sammy in the background,

 

That game was insane. I saved the WGN720 call from Jon's site -- it's that awesome.

[DiamondMind]

I love his loyalty and love for the Cubs, but the fact is he's just not a good 2B.

Top Todd Walker Era Moments:

 

1) The Slide scoring the winning run vs. Oakland.

 

2) Drawing a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 9th after being down 0-2 to force in the winning run and complete the Cubs' sweep of the White Sox at Wrigley in '04.

 

3) Almost hitting for the cycle vs Clemens but getting 2HRs instead of a double.

Boy, did things go downhill for Jennifer Aniston. I mean, getting dumped by Brad Pitt was pretty rough, but then becoming a Cubs fan? She's really hit rock bottom.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'd say going from Brad Pitt to Vince Vaughn is trading up.

I'd say going from Brad Pitt to Vince Vaughn is trading up.

 

But I have a feeling most women would disagree with you.

My wife says if there was a choice, she'd choose Vaughn.

Just watched Walker get his first hit as a Padre, a double to right field off of Brandon Backe.

[Laura]

He's at 3B!! Any reviews?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

He's at 3B!! Any reviews?

 

I just tuned in...and he just made an error.

 

He scored the only run, but he just made a low throw that pulls the first baseman off the bag.

 

The announcers said it was his second throwing error tonight.
