Basically calling us scrub fans because the Sox are going to sell out and the Sox have a payroll closer to KC and Brewers than the Mets. Anyone have time to call this blow hard and remind him that the Sox have a >100 million dollar payroll and a World Series ring? This crap is nothing less than a smear campaign. Mariotti has a new soulmate.

i'm sick of Cubs fans making dumb comments about Sox trades. comparing payrolls is just dumb. I guess if you dont spend 125 million a year your not gonna win it.

 

 

 

At least we didnt Sign Ted Lilly.

Mike Murphy is hated by everyone, the listeners and the score employees, let him run his cut down ding dong crap show. I love when he has to talk about the sox success.

 

BTW, payroll is just a dumb factor. The cubs are raising payroll to not compete, but to be more effective when selling.

At least we didnt Sign Ted Lilly.

 

I was arguing with a Cub fan the other day at work and heard the same few arguements....things like "At least WE made moves in the off season."

 

I just stood there and said "Dude...your GM just spent $40 million on Ted FRICKIN' Lilly!!!!! If KW did that I'd be pissed as hell. " Enjoy Lilly when Zambrano leaves next year.

 

There wasn't a reply...lol

And yet people are listening, and probably calling in to argue with him... turn it off and quit wasting your time.

Mike Murphy is an idiot. There is no reason to listen to him.

People who think that about our payroll havent done their homework.

Well i was listening and they said they've been talking lots about the Bears and wanted to take a break. So they start to do Sox talk. Which i was excited about because you dont hear to much this time of year. Than it just turned into a KW hate fest.

 

 

 

 

Is it wasting time if your at work?

Having him tuned in is boosting his ratings. IMO, it's best not to give him any support.

At least his team spent money when they go 76-86 behind their clown crap roster full of overpaid fools. I wish I had that and 99 years of failure to fall back on, it must be great to be a Cubs fan.

Maybe Murphy got bored picking fights with Mike Mulligan.

I love Murphy. He's the ONLY show in town to turn to during the offseason for baseball talk.

Tell me something thats dumber than trading for Neal Cotts, signing Ted Lilly and Jason Marquis?

You have got to be kidding me. Murph runs his show like he is catering to 10 year olds in the 1950's. He has idiotic sound effects and I'd rather listen to fingernails on a blackboard than his voice. He thinks there is always some conspiracy or something and the "Andy McPhail...FAIL" got old about 3 years ago. He needs to stuff a combo from Browns in his mouth and shut up.

Signing a guy who has had over 300 ABs in a season once, to a 4 year contract?

Paying a guy 22 million when he is 39.

how about signing soriano and outbidding the next team by 9 million.

Amen! I find myself turning off both talk radio stations more and more lately.

 

Like most of us I would have liked for Kenny to improve our left field and center field but not at what it woul d take to make it happen.

I love Murphy.

 

Yep, I love him too. I've been listening to him for over 10 years now.

 

If I was just a little bit dumber, I'd be a Murph basher.

 

I couldn't care less about the fact that he's a Cubs fan, though. I think that you're a meathead if you do, but that's just my opinion.

Excellent.

I don't have any respect for Murph's opinion, but he is about the only show that talks baseball this time of year.

That said, he did talk to a minor league analyst from BP and his opinions were:

a. That Haeger should be the fifth starter.

b. Even if Floyd wins the fifth spot, he's nothing more that a place holder (barring a Coop miracle).

c. Danks is a top 5 or 10 lefty prospect. Not a top 2 like KW says. (everyone knew that I guess)

 

He had some other things to say that I can't remember particularly, but I was most surprised by the Haeger comment. I know some people here like him, but this guy liked him a lot.

Perhaps he is leading up to another big Cubs signing like Jim Parque.

What was his opinion on Marquis and Lilly then?

It was all Sox talk.
