This should have happened earlier. As soon as the Dodgers made the play for Manny, they had to know they were still in need of a starter.

Non-story.

So what did San Diego get?

does he collect jerseys

And so they remain.

Maddox can throw a mean 40mph curveball. What is this guy, like 50?

**** 7TH!!!

Bad move on the dodgers part...IMO all he is doing is bringing a great name that is much closer to Cooperstown than a World Series. Purchasing big names doesn't win championships....ask Steinbrenner.

More like 44 but clearly a leader and still throws nasty stuff. This is a good move for the dodgers. His experience alone is productive.

My Padre fan heart is hurt with this one, greatly. But my baseball fan head realized this transaction was a "when" and not an "if" as soon as Penny was gone. Thanks for the memories Mad Dog. Sorry there was no run support for you.
See folks, the Padres are a factor in the NL West race! By trading away effective players in the division...

I would share this on my blog on ??? AffluentMeet.Com ??? It's an online dating service where wealthy singles can join who are looking for younger unattached people to enjoy their wealthy lifestyle with.

So you're saying you think Maddux has one last hurrah in him before retiring, and this change of scenery is just the thing to render it out of him? Don't know if I can fully buy into that, but who knows, you may be right.

Maddux is one of the greatest of his era and his numbers stack up to almost anyone to have ever pitched.

He has to hang them up though, like yesterday. His numbers are tarnishing a legacy. Classic case of a star who never knew when to hang them up.

This will help the Dodgers......won't put them over the top, but it will bolster their rotation for the stretch.

The Dodgers are a symbol or white racism

His actual home is in Dana Point, which is half way between Dodger Stadium and Petco Park..... he's kept his options open there..... if he keeps any home in San Diego, it's just for convenience, but he's only an hour away from either ballpark from Dana Point..... not counting traffic..... convenient for him getting traded to whichever team is better....

Well I guess getting him couldnt hurt...Cubs dumped that old timer a awhile back, hes done for.

3.99 ERA...he might be able to contribute, even if he is not their savior.

Maddux knows how to pitch. He will help most pitching staffs in MLB. He also handles the bat well, so he won't be an automatic out in the 9 hole. Nice pick up and just maybe they can make a run.
