Greg Maddux has now won his first four starts for the first time in his entire career. This includes 1994 and 1995, both awesome seasons for him. Unreal. I don't know what this guy ate in the offseason but I hope it has a few more months in it. Can you imagine if he won 20+ games and the Cy Young? I probably should stop saying stuff like that.
The Cubs demoted Jerome Williams and brought up Angel Guzman from Iowa. Because really, 1-2 with a 6.61 ERA against Triple-A hitting is way more impressive than 0-2 with a 7.30 ERA against major-league hitting. And didn't Williams pitch pretty well against the Pirates and just have the bad luck that the team couldn't hit Duke that day? Seriously, what? It seems a bit early in the year to give up on the guy after one bad outing (against, you know, the best team in the league, more or less). I wonder if the Lee injury just has the front office more panicked about any bad play and more willing to shake things up. I guess that really isn't such a bad thing in the long run. Still, bit of an odd move. But let's hope Guzman pitches well.
