A comparison

Carlos Silva: 4 years, $48 million
Jeff Weaver (2007): 1 year, ~$8.5 million
Jeff Weaver (2008): Minor league contract
^ (preferred funyuns for munchies)
Carlos Silva is pitching at a level worse to one that netted Jeff Weaver with no suitors and forced to take just a minor league deal after the season already started. We have Carlos Silva for three more years after this one and have about $40 million left to pay him.
Fired.

At least I like Wendy's.
So I can’t blame Silva for craving those tasty square burgers. Mmmmmm, I can almost feel that burger grease dripping down my chin.

Unfortunately, Silva is not on our dollar value menu.
Finally, some recognition.

This is why....
drug testing should extend to the front office……those idiots must have high on peyote and jack daniels when they signed him to that deal.
Rope+Tree=some assembly required.
I killed a 12 pack just to watch it die...

At least until his mass consumption spikes the price of beef- oh wait, it already has

Weaver wasn't all bad last year
Most of his suckiness was related to the start he got with the team that was fucking horrible.
