Can't win 'em all, but Cubs can get Joe Maddon more pitching
San Diego Padres closer Fernando Rodney pulled back his pretend bow and shot an imaginary arrow into the foggy sky on Wednesday afternoon, celebrating a 7-4 win over the Cubs in Game 1 of a doubleheader between two teams that appear to be heading in opposite directions: Buy vs. Sell.
That tilted-hat look and trademark final-out routine would normally bother fans at Wrigley Field, but the Cubs caught lightning in a bottle with Rodney during last year’s playoff run. It’s hard to complain when your team has the best record in baseball, even after a sloppy loss that featured three errors and a bullpen meltdown against the last-place Padres.
