Sweet Lou's love for Murton continues....

[C.C.]

Redhead ready: Piniella might have to use Murton as an emergency catcher this week if Henry Blanco misses a game to testify in the trial of his agent.

 

Murton, who last caught in high school, would back up Barrett.

 

"The only guy who's ever caught is Murton," said Piniella. "Hopefully, we won't have to use that adorable redhead at catcher."

Um is this serious or another silly April Fools thing?

[C.C.]

No it's serious...

I don't care if the two them engage in a passionate, Shaksperean love affair so long as the Cubs win.

If Lou loves Murton enough to give him 600 PA, thats fine by me.

[Sammy Sofa]

This just makes Lou sound as drunk as he always looks.

Me too. He loves him enough to bat him second against a right-hander in Aaron Harang. Murton at the top of the order makes a lot of sense. It will also get him a chance to get to the plate 6 times in a game. That will help get him his 600 PA.

I don't care who's lovin' him... just as long as he's in the lineup. Go MM. Hope he's the player of the game on Monday!
