attack buddy cubs fans feels grown love quest surrounded time tip weary white win won
Fans have grown weary of the complacency that surrounded the Cubs. I know from my buddy back home. He's 42 and he's been a Cubs fan all his life. He feels like he's going to have a coronary attack every time we lose. Cubs fans love this team. They're not front-runners. And now that the White Sox have won the World Series, the quest to win a championship is on the tip of (Cubs fans') brains.

We all feel responsible that he didn't get his 15 wins. I don't believe that it's as much a reflection on the way he's pitched as it is a reflection on the way the whole year has gone for us.

Last year, we saw him have a couple starts like that, and I don't know how to explain it. I know he has good stuff and that he's a competitor, and he's one of those guys who, when he's pitching, everybody wants to help play and win. Sometimes things don't add up.
enjoyed game guy helped incredible playing regardless season year
Let's be truthful: The way the game has gone, it hasn't helped him. You can say what you want, but the guy has put up some incredible numbers, and he did a lot for this organization, and I enjoyed playing with him. That '98 season is a year that will never be forgotten, regardless of how you want to look at it.

When things like that happen, it sort of brings everybody down. If it doesn't work out for one teammate, everybody sort of feels the same way. ... We just didn't do what we needed to do to win last year.

I still can't believe it. What an awesome weekend. I don't know what's going on.
balance ball couple early guys keeping last late locate mixing starts today trying vintage
It was vintage Maddux. He's been able to locate the ball really well early in the count. He's getting the ball down and away. Late in the count, he's keeping guys off balance by mixing his pitches. You can't say much more than vintage Maddux. He did today what he's been doing the last couple starts -- not trying to do too much.
