Re: Joe Maddon leaving the rays
Does Maddon do anything special that separates him from almost any other manager?

Urine-soaked curb? That was one of the urine troughs at Wrigley Field.Hoot45 wrote:You're obviously remembering it wrong.

Everything is urine-soaked in Wrigleyville, so sometimes it is hard to know what you're looking at.

I kind of wanted to get Maddon just so I could hear people complain about him.

These were his quotes:

"They do extremely well from a baseball standpoint and from a revenue standpoint," the Chicago Cubs' president of baseball operations said Wednesday. "It's probably the last organization in baseball that needs that kind of annual gift that they receive."
"It's not necessarily the type of thing [the Cardinals] need, given their performance on the field and off the field," Epstein said. "They do a fantastic job, and it just doesn't seem like something they need at this point."
"I could talk all day about the Cardinals and how we hold them in high regard," Epstein said. "That's a fantastic franchise. They have been for the better part of a century."
But Epstein remained confident that the rebuilding Cubs, who boast one of baseball's top farm systems, are closing the gap in their rivalry with the Cardinals.
"It'll just make it that much sweeter when we get to a point where we can compete with them and ultimately, we hope, prevail," he said.
