08/18 St. Louis (Marquis) @ CUBS (Marmol) 1:20 CDT, CSN TV

It looks like Murton is sitting about once every 3 days. It is bad for his development, but probably will actually inflate his numbers this year-he has tended not to start when he has any bad indicators against the opposing pitcher. It is not as big of an effect as other days (he's 0 for 5 against Marquis with a BB), but it is still following the trend.

Mike Shannon on St. Louis radio talking to Bob Brenley: It's nice to see Lee back and healthy.

 

Drunk already, Mike?

[woodchip2153]

Did you guys hear the Yankees and Red Sox are playing?

[soapy]

6, 7, 8 of Pagan, Mabry, Cedeno. Marquis must be terrified.

 

The beauty of if of course is that you now have Pagan, Mabry, Cedeno, Pitcher, Pierre and Izturis in succession.

 

Hopefully Izturis' glove will have a few RBIs today.

Apparently with DirecTV, I can watch CSN...except for Cubs games.

 

Okay then.
