[Sammy Sofa]

Fire! Passion! JOIE DE VIVRE!!!!

[BeerHere]

It is just spring training but he has a point, 6 runs, three errors in one inning.

[nick23]

Error number 4.(Aramis)

[BeerHere]

Bring back Lou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mark Priors Calves]

Z will be blamed for this regardless of what actually happened.

[Rob]

This is about the best outcome I could have hoped to have seen from Silva's start.

[ctcf]

At least they got one decent year from Silva?

 

Castro is a beast.

[woodchip2153]

Soriano with an opposite field home run.

[UMFan83]

We are the only team in baseball that seems to have a fight between teammates in the dugout every year.

 

In fact I can only think of 2-3 instances of other teams having fights between each other during games in my entire baseball memory. But we did it in 07 (Z and Barrett), 09 (Lou and Z (verbal altercation)), 10 (Z and Lee) and now 11

Altercation was between Silva and Aramis. ARam says it was a misunderstanding.

[TruffleShuffle]

oh well at least castro is still good.

What are the odds that @thekapman rips both guys for creating a distraction?

[TruffleShuffle]

2 fielding errors and a catcher's interference call in a single inning. Christ Cubs, I know its spring training, but get it together.

 

i sure hope that catcher's interference wasn't on koyie hill, since he's only around because he is so amazing defensively.

[UMFan83]

We know Z is a ticking time bomb. We also know alledgedly Garza is a hot head as well. And now we know Silva is slightly insane. This is going to be a fun year.

I'm guessing that based upon Quade's comments so far this spring and the organizations overall feelings about Silva that he won't be with the team when the season starts.

We've known Silva was insane. Numerous people pointed out his behavior in the past when we traded Bradley for him.

Sullivan just tweeted that Aramis' bickering at Silva was very lackluster, looked very lazy.

Did David Kaplan contribute to that report?

the kapman wasn't at the ballpark... he was at a local restaurant enjoying some delicious mexican food (courtesy of lazy illegals)

[CubmanPi]

Kaplan, Sullivan... aren't all blowhard beat-writers the same? I'm just passing time until I get to make another towel joke or donut joke.

There's one that's not. And he used to post on this board.

Haha. Silva is the worst.

That's why I specified blowhard--because surprisingly enough, that actually disqualifies some people. Following Miles is why I finally created a twitter account.

 

ETA - To stay on topic, LOL at this team so far, but it could be a blessing in disguise... What better time for this stuff to go down than the first week of exhibition?

[fiver]

I'm setting the O/U on the amount of errors the Cubs commit today at 3.

I heard he wasn't even using his tongue.
