Maddux wins #350

I somehow glossed over this earlier in my attempt at a speedy post....but Greg Maddux won his 350th game yesterday matching a number that will likely never be matched again when judging by the 5-man rotations, and decreasing number of starts/wins per year by the top pitchers.....Congrats to the Mad Dog on his fantastic 1st-ballot HOF career and I believe him to be the best pitcher of this generation regardless of Roger Clemens' steroids, etc....And he did it all without the blessing of an upper-90's fastball or a devastating breaking pitch...he did it as the smartest, craftiest guy around who perfected his craft of drilling the corners of the plate with high-80s heat and a great change-up and oh yea...he won 15 games or more SEVENTEEN straight years (another record that is going nowhere).....Congrats again sir
