Crap. I guess we won't find out if Murton would have batted or not.

 

Murton was in the on deck circle.

Can I sit and finish my beer?

Geez, Jack. If you're gonna come out and get your player, at least argue a little bit with the ump. He looked like he was taking his reluctant grandson out of a toy store. Edited July 9, 2005 by PackLandVA

NEVER EASY, tieing run to the plate....

[badger1679666666]

Ouch, not what you want on a 1-2 pitch.

[David]

ahhhh... tying run at the plate... 'tis ok.. I feel good about it. I'm actually confident in save situations with Demp out there.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 6-17 when they hit an opposing batter, 34-27 when they don't

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[badger1679666666]

Well LoDuca only has 2 HR, so he probably won't tie it.

I really haven't been worried at all with Dempster on the mound. Should I get my head checked? It's a really wierd feeling after seeing Latroy Suck forever.

[E.J.]

Murton the player of the game. Great ML debut. Now it's time for some shaving cream.

Did they get him? I'm sure he'll have to wear a dress on the way back to chicago.

Too bad DishNetwork went straight to the logo so I can't see Murton get nailed in the postgame interview.

Unfortunately, MLB EI pretty much cuts off as soon as the game is over so I have no idea.

Anyone here think Murton is here to stay? Will he get sent back down?
