Screwed Up

Back a few months ago, I told the Six Year Old to watch Matt Murton closely. See, the Six Year Old is really starting to be a pretty good T-Ball player. He also watched a lot of Cubs games. I wanted him to pay attention to how Murton approaches batting. Taking pitches. Working the count. Going to the opposite field. What red hair looks like on an elder.

I might have to tell him to stop watching Matt.

Given how well Matt played last year. Given how poorly he's playing this year. And given how well Korey is playing over in Baltimore, one can only conclude that this coaching staff has screwed Mr. Murton up so badly that all his line drives from 2005 are now pop ups and whiffs.

Dusty Baker isn't only costing the Cubs in 2006, he's screwing up the Future, too.
