    Although Lee has been the best player all year, it will be between Pujols and Jones. I can't see how the writers could not vote for Pujols. We're all very used to saying that the cardinals lineup is loaded, but this year they lost Renteria to Boston, Rolen to injury, and Edmonds is declining. Pujols has carried the best team in baseball. He (if not Lee) should win the MVP.

    Although it looks like we will yet again fail to score with runners on third and less than 2 outs, it's kind of understandable since Murton is always on and we're hitting him so low in the order. Check that: Prior drives in Murton.

    Murton clogging again. That OPS is nearing 1.000.

    Based on what? I haven't heard anyone within the organization say that they prefer Furcal over Nomar and don't want Walker back. Recent Chicago paper articles and Gammons. Gammons has been throwing out that the Cubs don't really want Nomar in the infield anymore, and there's been a few articles about Chicago being a likely destination for Furcal and the Cubs having interest. Haven't we all learned not to trust Gammons by now? Especially when it comes to Nomar Garciaparra. If Gammons stated "Nomar is a man" I would become very suspicious.

    Actually that was all four of Derrek's K's tonight. They all looked the same, though. :cry:

    Based loaded. Nobody out. Top of the order. Zero runs. Unreal.
  7. muntjack
    Of course we can. We're the cubs!!!
  8. muntjack
    WOW. Strike one was called at the letters.
  9. muntjack
    Walker pops out. Two down. Can we do it?????
  10. muntjack
    Okay, bases loaded 0 out. Don't screw it up Neifi. Brewers announcers "one guy you don't want to see up right here...Neifi Perez" :lol: If they only knew how right they were. Neifi grounds into a force out at home. Let's see if the cubs can get three outs without scoring a run.

    He doesn't. Usually, he tries to bunt the first 2 pitches, but fails. He ends up down 0-2 and swings at the next pitch which he usually pops up. It looks awful, but Dusty loves it. I understand he has had a truly dismal season when looking at the important statistics, but even to have a batting average above .270 with this approach at the plate is a complete miracle. Even his grand slam swing in St. Louis looked like he closed his eyes and prayed. I firmly believe that he's predetermining whether or not he's going to swing at the ball before it's even thrown. I remember a game within the past week where it was a ball that would have hit his back foot... but he swung at it. I remember the one you're talking about. If this approach "works" (even to the tune of an empty .270) why don't we all showup in spring training demanding a tryout? I'm pretty sure I could pull a few out with this approach.

    And Brewers fans chanting "overrated" at Derrek.

    Not to take anything away from Neifi's double, but my lord was that a HORRIBLE swing. He takes his eye off the ball and throws his bat at it. Isee this from him ALL the time. How does he keep getting hits like this?
  15. muntjack
    Milwaukee totally had a cub inning right there.
  16. muntjack
    And he thinks right along with a thinking pitcher. The Brewers announcers are in love with Matt Murton.
  17. muntjack
    Oh, well... I really don't care much about the outcome. Watching Murton learn keeps me tuned in.
  18. muntjack
    I really don't see how this guy could ever put up an OBP of .320. He has shown arguably the best eye on the entire team, he goes the other way, he doesn't look lost against even high quality breaking balls, and he seems to have an intense desire to keep improving. Projected over 588 ABs, Murton would have 30 homeruns this year. I can't see his slugging being that low either. When he first came up, I said I thought this kid will be a star. I still believe it.
  19. muntjack
    Even though he struck out, I love watching Murton take bad pitches that just about everyone else on our team swings at.
  20. muntjack
    I still fail to see why this is implausable. We'll have LOTS of money to spend, Hendry and Baker will have a great deal of pressure to improve and Manny WILL be shopped. The question is, do we give up a big prospect (Pie) to entice Boston to eat some of the contract? I almost guarantee that this deal will at least be discussed this winter.

    But it wasn't his fault, the books were old, the air conditioning was on the fritz, the curve shifted, his favorite teacher went on maternity leave, they switched his schedule, the test was immediately after gym, he's young. Well, unfortunately Son, I happen to know that your school has the highest budget in the state, they've brought in a lot of talented teachers and they're teaching you stuff you should already know......I for one am HIGHLY dissapointed.

    LoL "takemeouttothe baaaaallllllllgammmmmmmeeeeeeee"

    1 run in six innings against Aaron Harang and a horrible defense. Can you blame Dusty for not hitting? No. Can you blame him for completely ruining the lineup? Yes. Already twice Murton would have hit with runners on instead of Jose Macias. "Hey, dude, we're trying to win games, here"
  24. muntjack
    I think you're reading Dusty's mind. Dusty setting the kid up to fail=sad Isn't it? Not to mention how obvious it is to everyone. Grounds for getting fired, if you ask me.

    Matt Murton's projected homeruns over 600 AB's= 32
