that's all folks

[illiniguy]

that's awesome lou. don't use murton.

[E.J.]

And Murton still can't get in the game. What does this kid have to do?

[BCVM22]

Well that's depressing.

[Soul]

That sound you hear is coming from Milwaukee..

[imb]

Is Murton dead?

[witty alias]

Hopefully it's just a cramp.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I'm not going to jump to conclusions just yet. From the looks of it, it could be a hamstring or a knee, or it could be as simple as a cramp.

 

Being a Cubs fan, I'm not optimistic.

[CyHawk_Cub]

I hope it's a cramp instead of a shredded hammy.

[CoolHandLuke]

oh poop.

[TruffleShuffle]

give me a break, there's a LHP on the mound and instead of putting in Murton, they insert the lefthanded Fontenot. Did Soto and Murton nail the wives of Piniella and Hendry?

[cubfan1955]

Cramp? Are you kidding? He looked like someone shot him.

[E.J.]

He was rubbing his thigh, so I'm praying it's just a cramp.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Is Murton dead?

 

Nah, he moved to Boise as part of the witness protection program.

[Rusch33]

Please be a cramp.

He probably could have put more pressure on it if it were a hamstring. It looks like something seized up i.e. a cramp.

 

I hope.

[Guest]

Why isn't Murton coming in?

[illiniguy]

Cramp? Are you kidding? He looked like someone shot him.

I take it you have never been running and had a cramp happen. I am impressed he didn't drop like a rock.

[Soul]

Gotta be some kind of major injury.

 

I'd prefer an injury being caused by something tangible, or not at all. These injuries that happen just doing normal things like running, are maddening -- and often, preventable.

Saving him to pinch hit later in the game when we're down 15-1.

Hopefully, it's just a cramp for Sori but even if he's hurt, it's not a devasting loss IMO.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Gotta be some kind of major injury.

 

.

 

Of course it is... It's the Cubs we're talking about...

[anabiono]

why did i have to be excited about this season

 

why

 

oh

 

why?

[TruffleShuffle]

He was rubbing his thigh, so I'm praying it's just a cramp.

 

yeah looked more like the quad than the hammy. Still, there can be bad quad injuries too.

You ever had a bad leg cramp playing sports or running around? Only thing I've ever had that hurt worse than leg cramps was when my knee exploded and my ligaments tore.
