MURT HURT!

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

A hurtin' from Matt Murton.

[wastra]

The Ginger kid is starting to find his power stroke!!!!

[CubColtPacer]

Murton may not have hit many home runs this season, but he has hit some in some pretty key spots, that's for sure.

[UMFan83]

I'm sorry Cedeno your not a very good baseball player.

It's a night game. Dem whities perform better when the sun isn't out.

[Soriano12]

Dusty Bakeworthless: "Bynum just got a little over excited and got picked off. Gotta applaud his effort, dude."

 

Well, whatever Dusty says about that move, he'll get criticized tomorrow. If he says that, people will say he's favoring the people he likes. If he says he made a bad mistake, people will say he shouldn't call out the young players like the Theriot thread today.

 

So, expect Dusty to get criticized tomorrow-I hope of the options though he says that it was a mistake, because that is the truth-and a bad one.

 

Whatever he says, it won't be as direct and won't be as much of a "call out" as it was to Theriot.

 

I look foward to reading the Sun Times tomorrow morning. If Dusty doesn't critizize Bynum the same as Theriot..he is a downright racist.

 

It's a little different situation. Bynum got picked off at first with 1 out. Theriot got caught trying to steal third with 2 outs and the team's best power hitter up.

 

Theirots mistake is no worse than Bynums.

 

Theriot knowingly did something very dumb and lacking baseball logic. Bynum spaced out and screwed up. Different ways to do the same damage.

 

Its pretty pathetic to get picked off by a right hander with an average move...but..agree to disagree I guess.

 

Murton bails out boom boom.

 

Dusty is cursing in the dugout.

Cedeno looks so overmatched at the plate.

[Soriano12]

Cedeno looks so overmatched at the plate.

 

He looks overmatched on the field at times too.

[baseball7897]

Cedeno looks so overmatched at the plate.

 

He goes to the plate with no approach.

Cedeno looks so overmatched at the plate.

 

He goes to the plate with no approach.

 

Agreed. He's trying too hard and needs to relax.

Agreed. He's trying too hard and needs to relax.

 

IMO..he needs to suck for the rest of the season in order to convince Hendry

that he isn't the 2B solution in 2007.

You can thank Geno for that and pretty much anyone else who listens to him.

A belated YAY MURTON!

[ToupeeOnFire]

Murton bails out boom boom.

Not quite. If Boom Boom doesn't get picked off, the Cubs have the lead. Oh well, I'm sure Dusty will call him out in the press.

Dusty will say that "Freddie's agressivenes sparked the team and if it wasn't

for this spark Murton would have never hit the HR"

[JeffH]

Matt Murton should be traded immediately to an actual major league baseball team.

 

He deserves better.

Why are you so down on the kid? He's what, 20...21? Give him a chance to develop. This team is going nowhere this year, why not see what the kid can do in his first full year before writing him off?

[soccer10k]

Was there a memo I didn't get (insert Office Space jokes here) about not participating in the game threads until after the 6th inning?

Hey you know the ropes. He's got to injure himself off the Cubs like everyone else.

I agree. Let's see what Cedeno can do the rest of this season.

 

Then we will write him off.
