Not to worry, Evan. If it were, the headline would read Murton Electrifies Crowd With Standing Double In Loss.

You’re selling the organization short. Jim Hendry spearheaded a deal with the Texas Power Rangers that brought a pretty good Japanese guitar player in exchange for Paul McCartney tickets and also traded one of Michael Brenly’s shoes for the head of the Chicago Sting mascot.
Quite the power surge on Tuesday. I didn’t watch the game after the third. Did Wells give up 16 runs in the 5th?

What kind of season would Matt Garza be having for a better team?
-Matt, Chicago IL
We’re going to find out. He’s the player to be named later in the aforementioned trade with the Chicago Sting.
Four in a row! Suck it, Redbirds!
-Matt, El Paso IL
Matt’s not really that excited about Wednesday’s win in Pittsburgh. He just beat his Native American friend at a board game.
