I think it is tough to truly rate Silva. He has had success in the AL before, and he got paid, then got fat and happy. He absolutely sucked in a Mariners uniform, but the guy was in a revolving buffet line the entire time he was there. He looks like he took the offseason seriously this year and showed up to Cubs camp in shape, and he looks like a totally different pitcher now.

 

Even if he didn't win another game it still make the Cubs getting the better end of that Bradley trade.

Silva could have spent the duration of his contract on the DL, and the Cubs would still have gotten the better end of that trade.

Did Bud Selig pass a ruling that the Cubs must face Dave Bush in every series between the teams? Heck, he got demoted to the bullpen, and he's still finding a way to start against the Cubs!

Brewers win on a Cubs error on a bunt with Carlos Gomez running on the play.

Cubs handed that game to the Brew Crew, Castro had a bad error that kept an inning alive scoring the 4th run and the pitchers walked the world today.

OMG! Lou went OFF this morning. Absolutely ripped Steve Stone asking "what has he done?".

 

That makes for a fun Sox broadcast.

 

Both teams are just going in the toilet on and off the field.

Stone criticized Lou for how he's using Colvin.

 

I actually agree with Lou here. Who out of Soriano (.898 OPS), Byrd (.910 OPS), and Fukudome (.843 OPS) is he supposed to regularly sit for Colvin?

The argument I think Stone is making that if you arent going to play a guy with his talent on regularly, it is counter productive for his development to ride the bench. Send him down to get ABs.

Bah, with as successful as Colvin has been so far, sending him down makes no sense.

 

If they're not going to play him this year or soon, frankly, the right move is to trade him to a team for bullpen help.

They should trade someone. It's also worth noting that Colvin is hitting .176 vs. lefties and has been used primarily against righties because of this. He doesn't hit near .300 as a full time starter, especially not with that ugly K rate.

Man the Cubs clubhouse is imploding. Between the Wells presser and Lous flip out, this team needs to be taken out back and shot.

This team was not built to grow old gracefully.

Atleast the Sox got a World Series title out of their self-imploding disaster - the Cubs haven't even gotten a playoff win!
