The Cubs got trounced in their last two games, but that stopped after tonight's 4-3 Cub victory! Maddux is a GREAT guy to have in the rotation to stop the bleeding, and he did just that tonight. The Cubs never trailed tonight (I think) buy the D-backs did tie it up late after Steve Finley's third home-run of the night.

During the top of the 8th Richie Sexson tried to check his swing and seemingly popped something in his left wrist. He went down to his knees right afterwards so I'm thinking it's something serious. The guy's a notorious Cub-killer but it's never good when somebody gets hurt. He's not in our division anymore anyway. Hopefully it's nothing too bad.
