Here’s to you, Joe Maddon. We have to give you a little credit here. As much of a little garden gnome troll you are; we respect you. You were the ONE guy to make this dumpster fire organization known as the Chicago Cubs relevant.

Here’s to you, Joe Maddon. You found a way to whine and complain about pretty much everything when the Cardinals, Brewers, Reds and Pirates were in town.

Here’s to you, Joe Maddon. You were the guy in charge of the team that was supposed to be this dynamic dynasty. And, in the end, you failed.

So long Joe Maddon. The National League Central will NOT miss you. Oh, and hey – FLY THE L, Joe!
