Bruce, any reasoning behind Murton 8th that you know of?

 

Jesus H. Christmas. He's in the freaking lineup. Quit whining.

 

You can go ahead and back off now. I wasn't whining, I am not a Murton apologist, I was just curious. Put the gun down.

[gerby23]

someone call Dan Shulman and Steve Phillips, Craig Monroe is in CF

 

He kills lefties...when will he start doing that for us exactly?

The same way that a Cadinals uniform resurrects long-gone (or never-existing) ability from corpses, so is the Cubs uniform itself completely incapable of hitting lefties.

 

Sounds plausible; I like it.

Well, I don't like it, but I like the reasoning.

I think Murton should hit cleanup every day and play all 3 OF positions because he is so awesome

Jesus H. Christmas he was asking a valid question. Take some Prozac.

Lou didn't give any reason for hitting Murton eighth. He didn't seem to think it an issue.

Oh wow we have a comedian on our hands

You know what I love about this board? That absolutely no one goes to extremes or jumps to irrational conclusions.

Me asking what the reasoning behind him hitting 8th was in no way saying whether I agreed or didn't agree. It certainly should not have sparked 4 or 5 random comments that ultimately are unhelpful.

Thanks Bruce. Appreciate you taking the time.

[Roast]

Is there an AIM chat going on?

[Schwarber Fan]

Soto!

[Keener98]

And it looks like instead of the Jim Macomb infomercials tonight, I get to see a screen of black yay! Seriously its Sept and they are showing games on CSN+? Take one of the April or May games against the Pirates, Nationals, Marlins, etc.... off and show all Sept games. I know it doesnt happen often that they have to think about that chance we might be in a race, but at least do it just in case. GAH I HATE CSN+!

[Roast]

I hate my college for not giving me CSN (or csn+)

 

Thank god for pat and ron.

Its a sensible question seeing as I dont believe hes ever hit 8th before with Lou here, and I dont know if he has even with Dusty here.

Soriano with a lazy flyout to get things started.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

ugh, get rid of those damn red jerseys

[Schwarber Fan]

Anyone need PBP?

 

Soriano flies out to CF

Wait, you are in Chicago and dont get CSN+?

Yes please, I have no radio in my apartment!

[weatherdood]

2 up, 2 down as Theriot grounds out weakly

[Guest]

Nice to see Murton and Soto in the lineup, not a fan of Monroe in CF.

[Schwarber Fan]

Theriot grounds out, 5-3

[Keener98]

Better than Jones vs a lefty

Thanks. I thought so too, but apparently it was extremely inflammatory and some people not named Bruce Miles had an (un)witty or over-reactionary response.
