Just seen on ESPN's bottom line

Good move for LA. If it means keeping Arizona out of the playoffs, I'm all for it.

[JimSorgi]

congrats on winning the race

Does this mean Penny won't help at all for the rest of the year?

I think they've already shut Penny down or are going to soon.

[David]

i hope we get to face him in the playoffs, preferably at Wrigley.

We would knock him around at either venue.

IBL?

[Irrelevant Dude]

Good for Maddux. Maybe he can actually pick up a few wins now instead of wasting away in San Diego.

[sneakypower]

i wonder what they could have given the Padres that was equally as valuable as Izturis

I no longer fear Maddux on the mound. This move doesn't frighten me in the least.

 

(Cue some Dodger Fan quoting this post in October after Maddux beats us in the playoffs)

Maddux needs two wins to beat Clemens. I can't wait for that.

Maddux should have hung it up a few years ago, but at least he got to 350 clean.

Syphillis?

Well thank God his home-road ERA splits won't be affected!

Maybe, but he's been atleast a decent backend of the rotation guy for the last few yrs. And I wondering if Maddux is trying to go for 400 wins as a starter. Go to a team with a very good offense, and pitch at least 3 more yrs (4 tops)---Dodger stadium would be a good place for him to try and reach 400 wins---and give it a shot. Seeing a "clean" pitcher shot for 400 wins, would be better then watching a "alledgely" juiced OF go for 715.

Old Man River to the Dodgers! Nice! Another bad pitcher we can crush in the playoffs, thanks Dodgers!!!

[Banedon]

I'm interested to see what they gave up. This is the second time they've given up players to get him...heh.

Yeah, but what they gave up last time was addition by subtraction. They got Maddux to boot.

There's no way Maddux will make it to 400. He needs 47 more wins, which would mean pitching at least 4 more years and probably 5. He might get in one more year, but anything after that is just going to tarnish his HOF career.

Not really surprised by this.
