08/15 CUBS (Mateo) @ Houston (Clemens): THE BIG MURT!!!!!!!!

[texascub]

hill has a chance now to get 2 wins on the same day.

 

If he still starts later today....I'll personally kill Dusty with my own hands...and post the pictures too.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Wanted 20, 18's enough I guess.

[cheapseats]

HOW MANY TIMES has murton come through with men in scoring position with 2 outs? Didn't the astros know Murton was CLUTCH!?

 

Hendry's plan of stocking up on players good with RISP and 2 outs finally pays off!

[mhuber92211]

This game is why Baseball is better then ANY other sport. A team that is playing out the string provides great entertainment. You see something different in every game!

[circlechange]

Is it worse for Hill to give up 2 or 3 here?

[ZMovieman]

Mental overload. Cannot compute. Craziness abounds.

How much do you want to bet that Murton rides the pine tomorrow.

100% chance he won't play tomorrow. It's now Wednesday, which means "tomorrow" is Thursday, the off day.

Matt Murton....ULTIMATE CLUTCH.

 

Big Papi has a slight lead on him IMO...he had another game-winning hit today as well.

Definitely 3. I want him to give up the tie so we can play more.

[jjgman21]

I highly doubt Murt gets benched against the lefty.

 

TT, damn, quick on the pessimism trigger there. at least let a couple get on ahead of Berkman first.

Game-tying. Tigers won.

[CubColtPacer]

How much do you want to bet that Murton rides the pine tomorrow.

 

Dusty plans his LF rotation out in advance most of the time, so it will probably depend on if he's hit Petitte or not.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Don't get smart with me, I'm tired. :D

I want Izturis to pitch and blow out his arm.

[Brian]

Cubs use all 25 for the first time in 20 years.

Fine, rain on our parade. :P

pfft, that's optimism, seeing the Cubs win a meaningless August game is nothing compared to seeing how many innings they can play, or seeing what happens if anyone on the field were to get hurt right now.

[ToupeeOnFire]

Cubs use all 25 for the first time in 20 years.

That is weird, wild stuff.

[danonwaveland]

Hill had better hold 'em. I WILL BE VIOLENT IF I HAVE TO SEE THE DIET MOUNTAIN DEW COMMERCIAL WITH THE SHARK ANOTHER TIME!!!

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

Now you can hear the Cubs' fans more clearly. Stro's fans went home.

If I could exalt you on this board, I would.
