  1. 2 people have to get on base for Murton to get another AB. Neifi won't, so 2/3 of Barrett, Burntiz, or Cedeno will have to.
  2. He's not a tiny kid, he's a big young kid, he can handle it. 120 pitches really isn't that much. I think pitchers have become coddled too much over the years. He saved the pen (do you really want to see them guard a 5 run lead?). Now it will go Wuertz, dempster if needed. Who will we use if Dempster isn't needed? Ohman? Remmy? Have Dempster ready if it starts to slip.

  4. Care to restate the comment? If 7 IP, 3 ER, and 7 K's (Despite BB's) is struggling, then give me struggling every night. Z's a workhorse. He'll be fine. And actually he normally falls apart EARLY if he falls apart. Most of the time he's gone deep he's had 1 hitters or really good games going. IIRC.
  5. Amidst the man-crushes for Matt Murton, myself included, can anyone watching the game tell me if Cedeno's liner was hit hard? Just want to know how Ronny looks at the plate.
  6. Macias is tired, and no one else is allowed to pinch hit before he does per Dusty's rules.
  7. .259/.285 But he's Dusty's guy. (Not that cedeno is lights out, but he really hasn't had a chance, Dusty cooled him off nicely on the pine).
  8. I think it's blatantly obvious that this was forced on him from above. Especially because Murton is starting 2 out of the first 3 games. I got no problem with that too. But no way Dusty would play him 2/3 unless Hendry didn't have him by his ballsac.
  9. Does anyone besides me find it fun to say the name Matt Murton? Or am I just psychotic?
  10. I'd say Ramirez isn't really that streaky. He had a bad start this year, but he isn't "streaky". I don't think Todd Walker is "streaky" either. Hairston seems pretty consistent as well.
  11. That's what you get with the target population Men 18-45
  12. Has Murton had any defensive plays yet? AND Will Adam play this series, or sit because of all the LHP?
  13. Hard to believe that Murton has made a better first impression than Nomar did. Eh, Garciaparra batted .300 with 40 some RBI's when he came over to us didn't he? I thought he fit in pretty well. And I think everyone loves Murton, because we are FINALLY playing some youngsters. I love Murton too. Just saying.
  14. Wait so we got Murton AND Garciaparra essentially, for A. Gone and Francis Beltran?
  15. So I'm just joining the thread, got back from a good workout. I see I missed that Murton is god, and that the youngsters are providing a spark. We have 3 WALKS already? Neifi is still sucking, Barrett found his rythym again, Z is pitching well, Willis sucks against us in Fla and I haven't seen this much excitement on a game thread in over 2 weeks. Anything else?
  16. Where's the chemistry? That a boy Corey go out in style.
  17. Anyone see how despondent Burnitz looked? This team sucks and is depressed. Great.
  18. Well at least dempster is pretty good. The hit wasn't drilled at least. So Dempster Wuertz Ohman anyone else in our pen?
  19. Your new favorite team is a team that's just one game better than the Cubs?? Well the fact that they could make up that many games on the cubs, says something for the character of their team, and that of ours.
  20. I'm done with this team until major changes are made. I hope they do well, but I'm done wasting my time on a team with a manager who would trot that lineup out. I really wouldn't mind if Dusty fell off the edge of the earth, if it meant not seeing him manage this team again.
  21. Screams from the mountain top: Wood has a no-trade clause, so does Maddux How are they even in a let's talk or see what we can get category?
