Game 68 Thread/Padres @ Cubs (#3 of 3)
Game chat
Rich Hill (5-4, 2.81) vs. Greg Maddux (5-3, 3.86)
This will be Maddux’s second start against the Cubs since he donned the blue and gold and brown and tan or whatever the hell the Padres’ colors are. The Mad Dog threw five innings in Wrigley back on April 17th, coughing up a 3-1 lead and settling for a no-decision in a game the Pads would eventually win in 14 innings.
By the way, since Jim Hendry shipped Maddux west last July 31st, the now 41-year-old Hall-of-Famer-to-be has gone 11-6, 3.59.
With a win, Hill will equal his victory total for 2006. The young lefty is coming off a no-decision Tuesday against the Mariners, in which he had a very spirited and well chronicled dugout discussion with his catcher, Michael Barrett.
I hope someone has spoken to Hill since then. He needs to know that displays of raw emotion are simply not the Cub Way.
