Good luck to Matt and Adam. Matt has been tearing the cover off the ball! Small world, when little Fungo made his debut as a college pitcher against Georgia Tech in the spring of 2003, Matt Murton was the first batter he faced. You might say he helped Matt get a little closer to the pros! (about 400 ft. closer)

Congratulations to Matt and his family!

Absolutely thrilling to read about another call ... congrats to Matt for living his dream.

Congratulations and good luck to Matt. And a word of advice that was lost on his predecessor... If it isn't a strike, you don't have to swing at it.

I was at the Marlins/Cub game last night and Murton got a solid single in his first MLB at bat. He got another hit later on......both off Dontrelle!

Still not quite sure why the Cubs felt compelled to demote Patterson, but I think Murton is a very nice prospect for the Cubs.

Congrats to Matt and his family and all of his former coaches and his friends...from the Southwest suburbs of Chicagoland.

Fan...I agree with you. They sent the wrong guy down. They should launch the manager.

They were so happy when they got rid of Sammy and Alou and their salaries and home runs.

What do they have now...An adequate right fielder; a mediocre centerfielder who is truly a second baseman with no "pop" in his bat; and, ZERO production from the leftfielders that they've tried to play at that position.

Add to the mix...Neifi who is already worn down and gone...a second baseman that can't run or play defense but can hit a little bit...lousy bullpen...over-rated pitching staff with Prior and Wood (Matt Clement where are you?) and Zambrano who is likely to "explode" at any time.

Good thing that the Cubbies are owned by the Trib and WGN sends them all over the US and the Cubbies have made Wrigley Field a tourist destination.

...Otherwise manager gets launched and gm gets launched, too, for not doing anything in the off season except get rid of their top two players.

By the way...DLee is having such an outstanding year because no one is afraid to pitch to him, i.e., pitch around him...because the rest of the lineup is so weak!

Go White Sox.
