Bringing Patterson up instead of Murton surprised the hell out of me...

you and everyone else.

i think theyre looking for more of a rotation for the outfield at the moment, and with murton, theyd be more obligated to play him every day.

well see what happens though, im sure well see murton sometime in the near future.

Not to mention the fact that Murton may be close to being out of options...

They've been doing that since Soriano was signed.

Another huge win for the ole cubbies, 13-1. This is a great season so far.

yea dude, 11-6 is real good.

so they brought murton up, pinch hit into a ground out.

but thats alright, im just glad to see they called him up.

pretty stoked about daryl ward today.

hustled home on a tag up, made a nice grab at first and hit a two run shot.

It was another great game, Dempster's trouble in the fifth had me weary but it proved no issue for the Cubs coming through with the sweep.
