  1. that's a very sportsmanlike approach to the game
  2. just hope you don't get doctor murphy Well, he never became a real doctor...if I see him, I'm already dead. exactly
  3. game's not over. Is there any doubt that the Cubs will go down 1-2-3 in the ninth? they might do something to get some people's hopes up, and then find a way to screw it up
  4. wait now i bet some of you people actually believe that the cubs are going to win this game, right? the tooth fairy isn't real, either
  5. don't blame other teams for having good defensive shortstops... besides, you should be saying thank you every time he comes to bat
  6. what pisses me off most about Murton's approach this year is that if you look at his splits from 2005-2006, he crushes pitchers when he gets ahead in the count. So now why is he putting so many 0-0 pitches in play or putting himself in an early hole? I don't get it.
  7. have you seen this ump's zone for maholm? does it matter? If it were a one-run game, I'd be annoyed, but the Cubs would lose this game if Ernie Banks were the home plate ump.
  8. if luck is evening out for the Cubs, we should expect a few World Series titles in short time
  9. let's not blame the ump when our starting pitcher sucks and our offense hasn't seen a first pitch it didn't like oh yeah, and our defense blows
  10. hey let's all keep swinging at the first pitch
  11. this was like 5 years before Dusty had anything to do with him
  12. I'd like to take this time to say goodbye to synergy. It's been (not) nice having you, and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
  13. Hey, guess what player ranked immediately behind Murton in GB/FB ratio last year in all the NL? Jacque Jones. I guess he becomes a light hitting OF too... since your only qualification for that seems to be that he "can't hit past the infield." And his arm is too inaccurate to be a RF and his range is too poor to be a CF. That pretty much means he can't play anything else besides LF. Just ask any Twins scout. :roll: This argument would play a lot better if Jacque didn't hit around 25 HR a year, and play RF almost exclusively his last two years in Minnesota.
  14. 13 AB, 44 pitches seen... take out Pagan's 10 pitch AB and it's 12 AB, 34 pitches, or fewer than 3 per hitter. Great approach to take when behind by a few runs.
  15. Leaving aside the rest of your ignornace, are you really trying to say this game brings to light why the Red Sox dumped him? Wow, that's just plain stupid. That's more stupid than truffle trying to pretend Murton didn't have a great approach last year. Or more stupid than you pretending that I said Murton had a bad approach last year?
