* Joe Maddon And Anthony Rizzo Are Dead To Me Now:
"I like the United States a lot, I like living here a lot, I like everything about being here a lot," Maddon said. "When you get a chance as a citizen to go to the White House you go. Whether you like the person who is running the country or not, out of respect for the office itself you go. I don't agree with all of the things that are going on right now because I have a different perspective."
"I'm going because it's the United States of America, and I'd rather not live anywhere else except this country," said Anthony Rizzo.
