Maddux Throwing A Gem in Cincinnati Tonight

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Going to the bottom of the 6th.

 

He has a no hitter through 5 innings.

 

3 walks / 2 strikeouts

 

Dodgers leading 2-0.

[Mizzou]

He just doesn't look right wearing that LA hat.

 

2 down in the 6th now for Greg.

[UMFan83]

Figures

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

No hitter through 6 innings now.

[minnesotacubsfan]

Godspeed Maddux

[oldstyle81]

he has been de-cubed

[abuck1220]

his performance tonight will be worth more win shares than izturis will provide in the next 1 1/4 seasons.

[daske17]

And the rains have called a temporary halt to the game. . . I still blame the Cubs.

[E.J.]

Good for Maddux. I'm glad for him. I hope he pitches well for the Dodgers the rest of the year.

[chuckywang]

No hitter through 6 innings now.

 

It was just mentioned on ESPN, so look for it to end soon.

[Chocolate Milk]

If Mad Dog throws a no hitter in his first game out of a Cubs uniform, I think I will go into a coma.

[minnesotacubsfan]

If Mad Dog throws a no hitter in his first game out of a Cubs uniform, I think I will go into a coma.

 

considering he never has thrown one, I agree. but hey, look on the bright side, we got Izturis

 

 

:x

[fiver]

good for maddux....bottom line....he's not a good option at 5-6 million plus for next year. That said, I'm pleased with his results tonight. He pitched in the very first Cubs game I saw at Wrigley in the early '90's on the way to his first Cy Young award.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Good for Greg.

[Chris]

Good for Greg.

 

Agreed

[Cubzfan64]

I know nobody will believe me, but I heard them announce the pitching lineups on the radio on the way home from work tonight, and honestly I found myself thinking "wouldn't it be just typical if Maddux went out there and tossed a no-hitter."

 

Good for Greg - I'd like to see a guy like him eventually leave the game of baseball on a relatively high note and I just don't think he would have had that as a Cub.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

So they have been in a rain delay for a little while now. Here you have Maddux on a new team and it's a rain delay and he can't even talk to his teammates because it could disrupt the no hitter. :lol:

[don_kessinger_was_good]

Greg Maddux--No-Hitter (first of his career)

Neifi Izturis--0 for 7, 6 men LOB

 

Discuss. Naw, this franchise ain't jinxed.

[Laura]

If he wins 3 more Cy Youngs, I'll be convinced.

[Mizzou]

If he wins 3 more Cy Youngs, I'll be convinced.

When I read that I laughed. After thinking about it, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

The game is starting back up, but Maddux has been pulled due to the rain delay.

 

So in his first outing as a Dodger, Maddux did not give up a hit in 6 innings of work.

[Laura]

Good for Maddux.

 

And the first Reds batter gets a hit.

[Chris]

Maddux pulled for the 7th, Beimel immediately gives up a hit

[chuckywang]

That's a shame. A freakin' rain delay ruins Maddux's night.

[fiver]

That's a shame. A freakin' rain delay ruins Maddux's night.

 

eh...I see the glass half full on this one. He'd likely have given up a hit if he had gone the distance. This way, a certain mystique will always be associated with this performance.
