Let me guess: He blew it?

Hoffman blown would-be Maddux wins tracker: 2.

Let's go Maddux!!!

5th times the charm? Maddux great through 3 innings with only 1 hit allowed. But the Padres have to score in order for him to get a win...

Jimenez just as effective duplicating Maddux's 1hit 3 innings of work.

Let's go Padres!

2 hit given up by Maddux in the 4th, but no runs scored. C'mon Padre's offense!!!

HOME RUN ADRIAN GONZALEZ!!! 3-0 Padres. That should be enough offense for Maddux.

350 WINS For Maddux!!!

Hey, Maddux pitched 6 innings allowing 0 ER. How come I didn't get credit with a QS in my fantasy team? I think this game is rigged...

With Maddux all you get is quality therefore no bonus.

Stupid Padres suck They blew it again for Maddux

He's winless in his last 6 starts and it's not like he's pitching bad - he's got a 2.94 ERA over that stretch. Overall it's 3.33 on the year. Not too shabby.

First post updated, too.

Maddux is a Dodger...again.

First post updated for the first time in way too long.

Cool

Maddux made some nice plays yesterday, couple of nice snatches and a play where he had to hustle to first, and he fanned four.
Not bad.

...and he tied Clemens with 354 wins!!

GO MADDUX

Oh yeah, Maddux's last start he moved ahead of Clemens with 355 wins!

GREG MADDUX 'ALMOST CERTAIN' TO RETIRE

DANA POINT, Calif. -- Greg Maddux, the eighth winningest pitcher in major league history, is almost certain to retire, his agent, Scott Boras, said tonight.

"He hasn't made a final decision, but for now it is doubtful he will play (any longer)," Boras said at the GM Meetings. "As it stands now, he is not going to play."

Maddux is a certain Hall of Famer. He won four Cy Young awards in a row from 1992-95. Maddux is 355-227. He began last season with the Padres and finished up working mainly out of the pen for the NL West champion Dodgers.

Only Warren Spahn with 367 wins has more victories in what is considered the live ball period of baseball, since 1920, than Maddux.

Agent: Maddux intends to retire
DANA POINT, Calif. -- Dodgers right-hander Greg Maddux intends to retire from Major League Baseball, his agent, Scott Boras, said on Tuesday as the first official day of the General Managers Meetings began to wind down.

If it comes to pass, Maddux will go out with 355 career regular-season victories, one more than Roger Clemens, who hasn't officially retired but didn't pitch this past season as he dealt with various legal issues regarding his alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs.

"I talked to Greg at the end of the season, and he said at this point, his intentions are not to play next year," Boras told a group of writers gathered around him.

Boras was then asked if Maddux could change his mind before Spring Training opens in about 15 weeks.

"I don't know," Boras said. "I think he was rather definitive about his statement, and my belief from his point of view is that he will retire."

Maddux, 42, would finish his 23-year career with a 355-227 record and a 3.16 ERA, as compared to Clemens, who was 354-184 with a 3.12 ERA in 24 seasons. Maddux was 11-14 in 35 postseason games, including 30 starts, for the Braves, Cubs and Dodgers.

Unlike Clemens, who relied on a blistering fastball and later in his career a nasty splitter, Maddux worked the plate with offspeed pitches to offset a fastball that had much movement but little heat, especially during the past few seasons.

Maddux was best known for his 11 seasons from 1993-2003, pitching for the Braves and teaming with fellow ace starters Tom Glavine and John Smoltz. Smoltz had right shoulder surgery this past season, and Glavine recently had left elbow surgery. Both could be at the end of their careers, although neither has publicly said what he intends to do next season.

Hot Stove

If all three retire this offseason, they could be together again as part of the Hall of Fame class of 2014.

Maddux last pitched in Southern California, joining the Dodgers from the Cubs for the stretch run in 2006 before signing as a free agent with the Padres in '07. The Padres exercised their option and retained Maddux for 2008, but at the Trade Deadline, they asked him if he would move again and traded him back to the Dodgers.

Maddux was 8-13 with a 4.22 ERA for the two teams in a combined 33 starts this season. He was 2-4 with the Dodgers in seven starts after the trade and worked exclusively out of the bullpen in two postseason rounds. He made three appearances against the Cubs and the Phillies, allowing no runs on four hits in four innings.

NO!
