Maddux on the road.....Pedro vs. one of the worst teams in baseball so far.....

Wouldn't it be something, though, if after three mediocre seasons, Maduux (at age 40) went and put together a season or two that resembled his peak years of the early and mid-nineties?

From 1992 thru 1998, 7 seasons, Maddux was 127-53 (.706), an average season of 18-8, with an E.R.A. of around 2.20 or so.

From 1992 thru 2002, an amazing 11 year run, he was 198-88 (.692), still an average season of 18-8, with an E.R.A. of around 2.45 or so.

This year he's off to a 5-0 start with a 1.35 E.R.A..

I don't think anyone expects him to go 30-0 with an E.R.A. under 1.50, but how about a 20-5 with a 2.25 or something, which would be similar to his 1997 season (19-4, 2.20)?
