It’s taken me a few days to come to terms with the fact that Matt Murton is no longer a member of the Chicago Cubs. Although I knew it was going to happen, I didn’t expect it to happen this early in July. It’s hard to put your feelings into words when things like this [...]

Matt Murton is back in the Cubs dugout for today’s game. Eric Patterson was sent back down to Triple A Iowa. I though Murton seemed like a more logical choice when Soriano went down. He doesn’t have an extra base hit on the year, yet. But he is a career .300 hitter and is batting [...]
