Thunder Thighs Murton!

 

It's really great to see his smiling face again. Is he always in a good mood? :D

[Roast]

Is he always in a good mood? :D

 

Seriously, I think so. I met him at the cubs caravan two years ago and i shook his hand and all that. And while, of course, everybody is pleasant, he seemed genuinely happy. Him and Michael Barrett both. They were both just exuded happiness and genuine kindness.

I hear people compare him to Grace, one of my all time favorite Cubs, but he's got the build to have some power. I'm of the school of thought that you develop your stroke first. Learn to hit line drives... and the power will come. Worked for me. I think his stats this season will exceed most predictions I've seen, both in HR and OBP.

Ofcourse he is! He's Matt *freakin* Murton! :lol:

If I got to

 

A) play baseball at Wrigley Field for a living and

 

B) make 300,000+ a year, with prospects for much, much more,

 

I'd be happy a lot of the time too.

Wow, I've always known those statements to be true. But for some reason, when I just read that, it really made me feel crappy about my life, haha

He may have looked angry at the time, but he did it for the good of mankind. Do you know how many people around the world he made smile that day? :lol:

Plus, roast mean he is generally kind and happy to CUBS fans. A.J. is completely moot to the point.

Umm

 

this picture is such an accurate metaphor for the usefulness of small-ball since the end of the dead-ball era.

 

Ya, but even this old geezer can bunt better than any Cub could last year.

 

no, the cubs problem with bunting is that they did it too much. i think it was tangotiger that argued that a missed bunt was more valuable than a successful one, at least, with less than 2 strikes.

There's one to quote. "Missing bunts is good dude".

Oh I understood it as a joke. Just because I'm generally boring doesn't mean I don't get it. I'm just boring, like Derosa. We'll arrive at the location in approximately 2.5 seconds sir.

Lilly seems more boring than DeRosa. So you're only sort of boring. :wink:

No pictures today or even photo day pics available yet?

 

 

Also, I posted this in spring training discussions under Game Threads but was hoping to field a response. Any thoughts are appreciated.

 

"Anybody ever buy into the MLB tv option as opposed to Gameday Audio? My Gameday Audio renews yearly, but I'm contemplating switching to the MLB tv package. Anyone know if they use local telecasts, i.e., are Len and Bob commentating similarly to Pat and Ron's broadcasts on Gameday? Thanks!"

On MLB. They show whoever is the HOME team broadcaster. Len & Bob will be on every wrigely feild game and it's replays. Any AWAY game for the cubs and you will see the other broadcasters. .
