I Dont want Maddux Back If...........

.....it costs a chance to get Ivan Rodriguez. I liked Maddux in 1992 also. He was one of my favorite Cubs then also. Not anymore. This is the year 2004. I moved on, and i think the rest of the Chicago Cubs fans should move on also. The organization is different than it was in 1992, the team is different from what it was in 1992.

We no longer have a horrid pitching staff. We are lead by 3 young arms named Wood, Prior, and Zambrano. We have a stocked minors with guys named Sisco, Brownlie, and Guzman. Why do we need Maddux again? Because it will correct the mistakes of the past? Big deal. What is done is done. Yeah it would be nice to see him in Cubbie Blue again, but I don't dream of it.

Its like having not enough water, but you got a lot of food. You know you need more water to live, but food tastes soooooooooo damn good. Like an idiot you chose more food and end up dead in a week. But hey you died happy and full right?

For a team that struggled mightily on the offensive side you would think they would try and do a bit more to improve itself in that area instead of choosing more food. Which is what baffles me the most about the "Maddux Love in" going on. We know we need more offense but people cant get off the Maddux kick.

We laughed at Texas when they got A-rod, because we know they needed pitching. But Cubs fans are funny when the tables are turned on them. When it happens to them, its ok. So now we sit and wait to add more food to the table, completely forgetting that we will die without some water.
