Maddux in Prime?

That's right. With a 3-0 record, some believe that Greg Maddux could be on pace for an excellent season. With only 20 wins behind Roger Clemens on the all-time list, Maddux doesn't have much to go. The question is, can he keep this pace up?

Report: Sosa leaning towards retirement

For the Nationals this is not a good thing. For Sosa it is probably the best thing he can do for him self. I say that because I think Sosa was on the juice and if he was not then he was definately still using corked bats -- or maybe he stoped using the 'roids and corked bats.

Chicago a Sox Town?

I've been a White Sox fan for ten years and a season ticket holder for seven. While I would love for the Sox to be more popular in my home town I do not want them to reach the same level of popularity as the Cubs.
