It would be nice to score a run on something other than a sac fly, error, FC, or home run. How about a good, solid single with a RISP to bring the run home?

[erik316wttn]

Not a good start.

Score lots of runs, I don't care how.

 

Good start Silva. :roll:

[Derwood]

Stubbs is FASS

[Roast]

Hahahahahahaha. Our outfield defense is freaking spectacular.

[Guest]

Good start for Silva.

[Outshined_One]

I'm going to get the Benny Hill music queued up for the OF defense.

[genbar]

That was smoked, Carlos Silva. Do not like

[Sosa21MVP]

And so it begins.

[Derwood]

that was quick

[Andy]

2 rockets off Silva. This is gonna be good.

[erik316wttn]

Already tied.

 

I'm thinking both pens are going to get lots of work tonight.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

God giveth, Silva taketh away.

[Roast]

For the record. Kosuke probably catches that triple for an out.

Our pitcher doesn't seem to be that great, either.

[Outshined_One]

And, of course, he Ks Votto.

[Andy]

And then he K's Votto. This is a weird outing.

i like how the basic scouting report on silva says something about "requires a good defense" and we put one-armed nady out in right field for him with fukudome on the bench. smart.

Probably would have been a closer play, but considering how hard that ball was hit, I wouldn't bet on it.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Well, at least Silva limits the damage, but damn is he throwing hittable pitches.

I don't know about that. Even with all the twisting and turning Nady got back there in plenty of time to catch it, he was just all turned the hell around by the time he got there. It wouldn't have been the easiest play, but I'd put my money on Kosuke making it.

You know, I really can't wait until the "Good Old Boys", the old-time philosophy guys who refuse to acknowledge any stat more sophisticated than batting average or errors.

 

Defense is important. I didn't used to think so, but I've been converted.

[Cubswin11]

If Silva can give up less than 5 runs I will be happy, he was throwing meatballs that inning.
