    Barrett comes through again.
  2. jersey cubs fan
    saw that coming from a mile away. Surprised they sent him.
  3. jersey cubs fan
    Was that an 0-2 count?
  4. jersey cubs fan
    Jones with an 8 bouncer to the cutoff man. He wasn't even running for that ball to begin with.
  5. jersey cubs fan
    I'm pretty sure Barrett was trying to hit into a DP right there. That swing was the ugliest thing I've seen that actually made contact.

    I'm right here dude. I've been here the whole time. He's still the 2nd best OF on the team. No one likes you. 2nd best OF lol. Fans like you are content with below average players. Only a below average player misplayed that ball Wait, only below average players make errors? That's an asinine statement, just like the rest of the trash you spew. Unfortunately he is the 2nd best.

    wow, that's classy. What happened? Just got back to my desk. The Cubs needed Murton to play regularly and play well, he's not playing regularly and he's not playing well either. He's looked pretty poor out in the field. It's been said before, but that just reiterates the point the Cubs don't have a single OF playing where he should be playing. And they've got a couple guys on the infield who aren't ideal for their position either. Lee and Ramirez are the only everyday players playing where they belong everyday. Regardless if he plays once a year. A MLB player should be able to catch a routine fly ball. I'm not saying otherwise. The regular time comment was not an excuse for poor play. I said he's looked bad. My point is that the Cubs aren't getting what they need from him (regular productive play) WTP. Man. I didn't think that had a chance but it sailed much further.

    Lots of soft contact today.

    I think he can legitimately be a good defensive major league catcher who brings something to the table offensively. He'll never be a star. And he's probably not going to be a 6-8 year starter either. But I think that a team with a solid 1-7 lineup and good pitching could benefit from paying a guy like him minimum wage while spending the big bucks on other difference makers.

    I see what you are saying, but it's not like Soto is some raw young prospect who needs the playing time. He's 24 with well over 1500 pro plate appearances. He's either going to make it or he's not. Sitting on the major league bench for 2 weeks won't kill him.

    Barrett swung at a lot of junk in that at bat. Silly mimbo.
  13. jersey cubs fan
    Zambrano is laughing at Soriano's goofy play.
  14. jersey cubs fan
    BB/PA is .073, last year was .076, 2005 was .069, career is .066
  15. jersey cubs fan
    I counted 42 names with 1 on the 60-day.
  16. jersey cubs fan
    That double was the first really well hit ball of the inning though.
  17. jersey cubs fan
    I love that the defense of AA flameout label is that he'll flame out in AAA. If best case = Larry then I'm guessing we'll find out really soon, as Chipper was a pretty productive near 1:1 K:BB guy coming out of the gate.
  18. jersey cubs fan
    Just turned on TBS as the adorable red head was emerging from the dugout. Hopefully he has a game. Theriot never saw that one.
  19. jersey cubs fan
    Yeah, I was hoping playing Murton everyday was also going to be a part of the article. I disagree with trading him as well. But I think the point was, "if they aren't going to play him everyday". I say trade him if they aren't going to play him. Because the longer he stays as a part-time player, the more baseball will think of him as a part-time player, and bring down his value. But if you do trade him, don't do it for bullpen help.

    I'll bet, in his mind, there is no validity to any of a sportswriters ideas (or message board poster). And that's quite unfortunate. Because, he could learn a lot hanging out here. At least he earned enough money from the Cubs these past 5 years to retire, since that's probably what he'll have to do once he's gone from this organization. Who, in their right minds, would give him another chance? He was given the GM job with an ever increasing payroll, one of the top minor league organizations in baseball and much roster flexibility (limited guaranteed long term contracts. The sky was the limit. Basically, he was given what any GM would dream of having at their disposal. How is that working out right now? Not so good. I'm sure the baseball world will find a job for him somewhere, Ed Lynch style.

    Indeed. They seem to have a knack for playing well against good teams and playing sucky against teams that aren't worth a damn. Unfortunately, the NL Central is full of the latter. The recent run of poor play against LA, SD, NYM and PHI says otherwise. I do think that was a trend in 2004/2005. But they've only been beating bad teams. The last 4 series wins were against STL, Pit, Washington and the White Sox. The last good team they beat in a series was Milwaukee in week 1. They did pull off splits in 2 game series against SD and ATL.

    Sullivan comments suggests that he thinks ARam has been our best hitter and that's why he should bat 3rd. As for those of you who think Marquis as DH was tongue in cheek, I certainly didn't get that impression from the comments he wrote in the article. Sullivan's entire writing style seems tongue-in-cheek to me. It's his de facto mode.

    I think they should go with Blanco and Soto, unless they can get rid of Blanco. Get your offense elsewhere. there's not enough positions on the field to make up offensively for having blanco catch every day. I wouldn't want him everyday. Ideally he'd be gone. But if he's here, he can backup a rookie. i see...i didn't realize you wanted soto as a starter. It's far from ideal. But they have to let Barrett walk, if not trade him. Find offense elsewhere. They probably aren't going to find a solid everyday catcher elsewhere. So save money and take what you can get there with a guy who has shown some ability to hit, and shore up the rest of the lineup.

    Maybe they are going on seniority. What are they doing about the 40-man roster, he's not on it right?
