Alas, I am an Atlanta Braves fan. Very sad day. I will greatly miss my favorite Brave, Greg Maddux. He's a class guy.

Indeed he is a class guy.
But so was Tom Glavine - look what happened to him when he got out of the Braves.

Is it wrong for me to hope Maddux loses 30 games?

Maddux really is my favorite player. I want to see him get 300+.

I liked Glavine too but, situation was a tad different. Seems like the Braves turned their collective back on Maddux. However, Glavine's agent conspired to get Glavine to sign with another team. From what I read, Glavine was p.o'd that his phone call to John Schuerholz wasn't returned. He thought he was being snubbed. So instead of bargaining he signed with the Mets. Story goes that Glavine's agent never relayed the message of Schuerholzs'return call to Glavine and prodded the guy to go with the Mets.

That's what's wrong with sports today, no loyalty in any game. No loyalty from players to team (Glavine), or from team to player (Maddux)
