Maddux--Officially a Dodger

This team jumping is getting a little frustrating but it is what it is.

But it's hard to complain too much consdering how bad the Padres are this season (and boy do they stink). Now he's going to be part of a playoff push and if this is going to be his last year than I'm glad
Maddux is back on the Dodgers so that he will have that October opprotunity again (the Dodgers are currently one game behind the Diamonbacks in the NL West).

He pitched well last time around with the Dodgers...going 6-3 down the stretch...and I do think that he did contribute to them making the playoffs in 2006 (not only with his pitching but with his "mentoring" of some of the othe Dodger pichers). So hopefully the magic combination will work again. Plus he gets to be teammates with Manny Ramirez. Now the two of them can share stories.

It's going to be exciting....and that's not even taking into account the Cubbies (who are currently six games up on the Brewers).

There's going to be a lot of baseball watching at 129 S. Vine...I just hope Jenny's prepared for it.
