7/8 Cubs @ Marlins. 6:35 CT, CLTV Who Cares.

I think I am going to start a Barrett for clean up bandWgN. Even that strikeout went to a full count, lets not make him bat behind neifi, corey, and holla all year long, it just isnt humane.

 

I'm not sure whether Corey's coming back, unless he really gets on a tear in AAA. And even at that, he may be brought up just long enough for trade bait. Let's see, is anyone in the market for a poor man's Mike Cameron?

 

I know corey is gone. I just meant that he has batted behind him and the other two all year long and will prolly have to continue to do so.

Is Z getting tired?

[KatJ]

If Z can't get the other AGon, it's high time for Larry to pick the splinters out of his butt and take a trip to the mound.

This AGon is actually good for more than a few game-winning homers.

[texascub]

AGonz with a sac fly, time to get Wuertz up maybe?

According to Sportsline, Bump is up in the pen for the Marlins. Interesting name.

I hate to be the pessimist, but if we actually win this game, it makes Dusty look like a little better manager.

 

I think it's blatantly obvious that this was forced on him from above.

[otis89]

Darn. Messenger no longer has the best average in MLB. :lol:

[KatJ]

Good job, Z. Time to call it a day.

Nate Bump! He went to Penn State. I met him a couple of times.

SHHHHHHH, some people can't grasp the blatantly obvious.

Especially because Murton is starting 2 out of the first 3 games. I got no problem with that too. But no way Dusty would play him 2/3 unless Hendry didn't have him by his ballsac.

[E.J.]

What's Neifi's AVG and OBP at now? He's pretty horrible.

If my last name was Bump, I'd name my kid Speed. Yeah, I know. Bad joke.

God, or Jim Hendry?

No way? I'm not so sure. Dubois might have very well have started the two games that Murton is going to start. And we'll have to see what Cedeno does the rest of this series.

 

I'm certainly not getting my hopes up about it until I see this against right handed starters.

.259/.285

 

But he's Dusty's guy. (Not that cedeno is lights out, but he really hasn't had a chance, Dusty cooled him off nicely on the pine).

[sethuel1]

Unbelievable.

[Jon]

Murton with a double!

[E.J.]

Murton is God!!! :D

[E.J.]

Why is Z hitting?

 

Dusty you were doing so well up to this point. :wall:

[chicubs]

man on man. Murton is probably 21 NSBB posters' new favorite player. Edited July 9, 2005 by chicubs

[Schwarber Fan]

I think Neifi needs to join Corey and Dubois in AAA

 

Its Murton time!!!!!!!!
