GO CUBS GO!

Who cares if he's a Cubs fan? This is a football forum! He is a PACKER fan as well. So, from now until March, I’m sure he’ll dedicate a lot of his time here. In late March, then we can be enemies during the baseball season. Besides, the Cubs have perhaps the most loyal baseball fanbase in the country. You have to respect that.

Go Pack!

It's a little bit scarier when he was literally the worst pitcher in baseball for the last 2 years.

If it was an anomaly, I’d be more willing to give him some more rope. But this is exactly what he’s done for the last several years.

Who cares if he's a Cubs fan? This is a football forum! He is a PACKER fan as well. So, from now until March, I’m sure he’ll dedicate a lot of his time here. In late March, then we can be enemies during the baseball season. Besides, the Cubs have perhaps the most loyal baseball fanbase in the country. You have to respect that.

Silva is a waste of money and should be dumped immediately.

That has nothing to do with today’s total failure – it has to do with the fact that he’s the worst pitcher in MLB, and the only reason he’s on our roster is b/c the M’s ate $6M of Bradley’s deal in order to get us to do this.

No team that considers itself an MLB contender has room on their 25-man for Carlos Silva.

WTF??

The Riot just threw the ball 10 yards. If he had just got the ball to the catcher, Jones would have been out.. The Riot shouldn’t be so sure he is getting the starting job at SS. IMHO!!

Did anybody else laugh when

Len had Hendry on and, in the midst of his sucking up, he said the Cubs dont hype their prospects and let them play it out?

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.
