I really hope thats it. We have 2 months left and a 4 run lead. he's putting on his batting gear... Better hitter than we have on the bench. Might hit one out! :lol:
Tomorrow's lineup... Sori, Theriot, Lee, Aramis, Griffey, DeRo, Pagan, Kendall I wouldn't mind seeing both Fontenot sitting awhile and Theriot gettiing a day off. Cedeno at SS and DeRosa at 2nd and Murton in RF. See what happens.
Come on. There's no way Murton gets traded straight up for Payton. Payton is basically the RH version of Jacque Jones, and look how hard it's been trying to trade him. We basically had to agree to pay all his contract and get crap back in exchange, and even that didn't work. There's no way Hendry trades Murton straight up for Payton. While I agree it would not make sense to do it we are talking about Jim Hendry...the guy who thought Cesar Izturis was a steal for Greg Maddux.
Haven't read this whole thread but I hope there is nothing to this. I have a feeling if Hendry acquires Payton (or a Jeff Conine) it will be for Murton. I think they brought him up to make it appear to other teams they were getting a major league player in return instead of a minor leaguer. I've never been on the Murton die hard bandwagon but he has a lot more value than Jay Payton and/or Jeff Conine. Don't do it Jim.
I'd like to trade Murton and Jones to Cincy for Dunn but I'm not sure Cincy could be convinced. :wink: Of everyone the Cubs have to play RF I'm not in love with any of them. DeRosa is about the best option at this point unless you want him at 2nd instead of Fontenot. In that scenario I'd just as soon see Murton in RF with Floyd coming off the bench where he MAYBE could stay healthy enough to PH. Pagan can be useful if used correctly. Which means you bring Pie back up and let him play CF most of the time.
Really? Bipolar much? :P The team is going to lose some games...and the D-Backs always do well against the Cubs for some reason. Fortunately, especially recently, the Cubs have the Cardinals number. Lee is back, Dempster is back...this should be a good week. Bipolar? This IS the Chicago Cubs we're talking about, right? Hey, I hope I'm wrong but...hope for the best, expect the worst. :)
