Funny.

Cubs optioned outfielder Matt Murton to Triple-A Iowa.
Murton had a nice May while playing more than he did in April, but the move to recall Felix Pie left him out in the cold once again and he had fallen into a 1-for-18 slump over the last 16 days. The Cubs either need to find a larger role for him in the coming months or trade him. He certainly doesn't belong in the minors.
