The 4th game of the latest Brewers series in Milwaukee

Last Thursdays doubleheader loss to Atlanta for their 8th in a row....ugh

ESPN 1000 just read the Cubs' lineup for today on the air:

 

1. Hairston CF

2. Walker 2b

3. D Lee 1b

4. Aram 3b

5. Murton LF

6. Burnitz RF

7. Perez SS

8. Blanco C

9. Prior P

[MeatampPotatoesMan]

at least Murton is playing. we all know Cedeno won't do much besides pull splinters out of his backside with Neifi in the mix.

 

on a positive note, i'm really excited to watch some baseball. :)

I got so excited when I heard this on radio, I started a thread in baseball discussions on it. Murton batting 5th is awesome! Particularly, since I will be in attendance. :D

[E.J.]

I'll be at tommorow's game, but with a righty pitching for the Pirates tommorow I think I'm going to have to see Holla playing. :cry:

 

What are the chances that Dusty does something crazy tommorow and starts Murton, Cedeno, and Greenberg? :smokin:

I gotta believe Greenberg gets his first start this weekend -- maybe even tomorrow. The kid will be grinning from ear-to-ear every time he turns to the bleachers to acknowledge their cheers. Should be fun to see -- I love the pure joy Murton and Greenberg have displayed since being called up.

[Blueheart05]

Greenberg will play eventually but don't expect him to get nearly as many starts as Murton. The Tribune says that Greenberg was brought up to be a reserve player...

Greenberg is being interviewed on the Score right now. He said that they will sit in a "couple more days."

Who is they? Is he still unavailable due to the head injury? With a thin 5 man bench due to the unnecessary 12 man pitching staff they cannot afford to keep guys on the bench who are too banged up to provide some help.

[Blueheart05]

I'm sure "they" referred to the Cubs organization or perhaps he meant Dusty and Dr O'Neil.

[Flames24Rulz]

ESPN 1000 said Murton would be batting 5th today.

[frostwyrm]

We've faced lefties the last 2 games and Ronny's sat for both. He needs to go back to Iowa now.

[Blueheart05]

ESPN 1000 said Murton would be batting 5th today.

 

Yeah, so does 670 The Score. The Score is also reporting that the Cubs are having a team meeting at noon. Hopefully, everyone gets on the same page and an emphasis is placed on patience at the plate.

[dalgreen]

I love that Murton is hitting fifth. He should be at the plate with guys on base (Ramirez might get three IBB today) plenty of times today. Hope he takes advantage.

Is it a team meeting or a players only meeting? I was interested last week in their players only meeting as to who led it. I'm still trying to figure out who the "leader" is. It could be Walker or maybe Lee is the silent leader, I'd be interested in finding out, though.

[Lauf45]

I'm looking forward to getting the season going again. I just would like for them to play well ans see what they have.

It still boggles my mind that you can't see both Murton and Cedeno in the lineup together.

7. Perez SS

8. Blanco C

9. Prior P

 

now isn't THAT intimidating?

[Flames24Rulz]

i don't want Neifi to get hurt, but can he go missing for about 2-3 weeks or so like Woo Woo?

[littleburr24]

7. Perez SS

8. Blanco C

9. Prior P

 

now isn't THAT intimidating?

 

Hey, I'd be scared seeing Prior in there, wouldn't you?

[Roast]

7. Perez SS

8. Blanco C

9. Prior P

 

now isn't THAT intimidating?

 

Yea, Prior is good.

 

 

Anyways, I dont give a flip about 7-9. 1-6 is awesomely amazing.

 

That being said. Cobs suxor.

Can you say "Sac bunt section?" Seems to be the main function of the bottom of our order...

[Butterscup1679666578]

Len and Bob are gonna talk to Murton and Greenberg after the break on The Lead Off Man!

You type faster than me. :?

Greenberg quote: "my head is starting to feel as normal as i am." hahahaha

 

 

wow, Greenberg looks so small next to Murton. :shock:
