Opening Day 4-3 Cubs (Zambrano) v. Reds (Harang) 1:10 CT WGN

Murton! Robbed the grand slam to end the inning!

 

No he didn't. That fence is about 15 ft. tall.

[Soul]

Oh man, I'm starting to like this guy.

[bc2k]

What can't Matt Murton do?

 

Tan.

[treebird]

less terrible music plz

[XZero771679666304]

Got out of that. Hopwfully that zone loosens up as the game progresses.

Murton! Robbed the grand slam to end the inning!

 

No, he robbed a double at most, not a grand slam, the wall is high over there

[St.Paul Cub]

Thanks for the updates. I'm following online, but it's not the fastest thing. Of course I think watching it live I'd have had a heart attack already.

 

Murton = The Natural

Tan.

 

:golf clap:

"One time I was with Murton in the back of a pickup truck, along with a live deer. Murton goes up to the deer and says, 'I'm Matt Murton! SAY IT!' Then he manipulates the deer's lips in such a way as to make it say, 'Murton' ... It wasn't exactly like it, but it was pretty good for a deer!'"

 

"He'd eat a homeless person if you dared him!"

 

"His poop is used as currency in Argentina."

 

"He sweats Gatorade"

 

"He once breast-fed a flamingo back to health."

I can't remember...am I going to be this worthless at work EVERY TIME the Cubs play or is it just opening day? :D

He snagged it over the padding...I thought clearing the padding was a HR, my mistake. The black backgroudn above it looks confusing on MLBTV.

Could anyone have imagined Alou or Dubois with that ball?

 

Thank you, Matt!

[Andy]

<3 Murton. I agree with Cubbies75, a Murton jersey shirt is headin my way.

[UMFan83]

1 inning down, roughly 1,457 more to go!

[Radar3454]

This could be like Z's 1st outing last year - Hopefully he has a couple of low pitch innings so Baker doesn't have him pitch 120+ to get thru 5 innings for the W

[erik316wttn]

Let's go, Slappy!

[Rob]

Zone appears to be loosening up.

[Jehrico]

another trivia fact from the announcers...this is the youngest opening day lineup for the Cubs since '77.

[LoneStarCubFan]

President Bush on with the Reds' radio crew.

[moorecg]

This is the first time I've heard Bush come on the radio and not changed the station :D

No problem.

[Wilson A2000]

Z had a .300 BA last year, unfortunately he had a .300 OBP. Selection Z! :D

[Mark_R]

That woulda scored three runs. Nice catch by Dunn?

From time to time you'll work during a dull game, but that's about it.

[Rob]

That coulda been messy.
