Wow, Silva's ERA creeping up near 4. How quickly he came back to earth.

[Old Style]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Little Slide Rooter]

So much for selling high on Silva.

[Sammy Sofa]

There's nothing to explain, Len; Silva is just a shitty pitcher.

[Sammy Sofa]

So much for selling high on Silva.

 

I refuse to believe anyone here bringing that up was actually serious. He's way too expensive and his track record is way too horrible regardless of what he had done in the first half.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Bourn walked , J Castro to third, Rodriguez to second

[Little Slide Rooter]

Wow, Silva's ERA creeping up near 4. How quickly he came back to earth.

 

Fat ass crashed right through the ground too.
