The only reason for that is Maddux got hit on the head by a ball, and thinks it is 10 years ago and hes back pitching for the Braves.

Thats the ONLY reason.

He can be a martian that's replaced the real Greg Maddux for all I care; as long as his ERA is under 1 I won't ask silly questions.

Has anyone thought it has something to do with the fact hitters are no longer on steroids ?

Oh, and for the person that said Jacque Jones is a good hitter, I think the Cubs would be happy if he hit .260 and 20 HRs, he is definately no middle of the order guy.

the steroids havent got "that" much to do with it.

Look at Giambis run last year, that was impressive steroids or not.

And my prediction for jacque - .275, 23 Homers.

That's quite funny, while I said i'd do it someone else actually did. Ahh the good times, you shouldn't insult the cubs with this many fans around. It'd be like walking into into a shithole bar in southern texas and hitting on the first cowboy you see. Starting off of course with a reference to brokeback mountain. Just walking into a shitstorm.

Did I read that right? Aramis is only hitting .180? What the hell, he needs to pick up the damned pace here.

I'm holding up my end of this, I already umped four games this week (missed the league tourney for one of the second end of a double header). And where are the cubs? Perez bunts w/ runners on the corners 2 outs and down by two runs. It's like the gods of baseball are laughing in my face.

Without Lee this lineup sucks. Ramirez has absolutely no protection in the order and hence his .220 average. I picked him in the 4th round in one of my fantasy leagues and boy was it so not worth it.
