[JC]

Murton is tough. I really like watching him hit.

[Rob]

I would so let Matt Murton screw my wife... if I had one.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

Murton should be sent down to AAA immediately.

Murton is tough. I really like watching him hit.

Murton almost doesn't seem like he should be a Cub prospect, he knows how to hit. Weird.

[moorecg]

I about had a heart attack when the reds brodcaster (incorrectly) said Eyre was going to hit for himself.

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

In case anyone cares - Rollins is 0-3 and probably has 1 AB left today

 

why is that important? seriously. does he have some sort of streak going?

 

I'm assuming that is sarcasm.

 

no. i was serious. why rollins?

[Coach C]

Oh, and for those who thought Aramis was slow, Mabry was worse on that one.

[C.C.]

Eventually you need Murton to hit higher in the order if he keeps this up.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Mabry might be slower than Aramis.

I'm guessing that's why u don't have one.

 

Just a guess. :wink:

35 or 36 games to end the season, to be exact.

He ended last season on a 36 game hitting streak I think is the longest hitting streak since Paul Molitor hit in 39 straight.

Well, he really wasn't a Cubs prospect.

We probably haven't taught him anything, I'm sure he learned everything he knows in the Boston system before we got him in the Nomar deal.

[YearofDaCubs]

Hello Scott, welcome to the Chicago Cubs and enjoyed your 37 pitch first outing on opening day..

[fishbulb]

there's still 2 more long innings...the way the bullpen is working Dempster might need to save this.

Part of scouting is knowing who to fleece from other systems in trades.

 

Murton = Cubs prospect IMO

Griffey with a single to start the 8th
