Greg will make us "legitimate"

Dusty Baker is some champ, isn't he? This is what he had to say about Greg Maddux being acquired by the Dodgers:

"Greg's probably the finest pro I've been around
in years and years," said Cubs manager and
former Dodger Dusty Baker. "He's a man. He comes to play, he comes to pitch, he comes to help. I was hoping [a trade] wouldn't happen. It appears it was inevitable. We got a fine player in Izturis.

"I'm happy for [Greg]. He's closer to home. He's got
a legitimate chance to go to the playoffs."

I like the last sentence. I hope Greg gets over the recent pitching hump and gets us to the playoffs in the fall. We're what, five games out and going up in the standings.

The only way is up, since we're last in NL West ;)
