If given his druthers, I’d imagine Joe Maddon would not have picked Tuesday afternoon to join Laurence Holmes in his new daily slot on 670 The Score. Not that LoHo isn’t a wonderful host who conducts a great show, just that Maddon would rather have been prepping for a game instead of twiddling his thumbs on the Cubs’ second scheduled off day in less than a week.
That’s doubly true after Monday’s stinker of a game in which the Cubs booted the ball all over the yard en route to an embarrassing 8-0 shutout for their third loss in as many games.
