Seattle Mariners at Kansas City Royals, May 6, 2009 5:10 PM PDT
It's weird to think that this is a matchup of two teams in first place considering how much terrible is littering the lineups.

Isn't Silva on a short leash?
I thought I read that if he doesn’t produce in this start that Wak is gonna smack that ugly ass grin off his face. I could be wrong.

Supposedly
but I get the feeling this is not Silva’s last start, even if he does get knocked around.

The Series Preview mentioned nothing of Carlos Silva pitching today. If you insist on jumping into a game thread I urge to at least make use of that valuable resource or else you might be in over your head here.

And who is exactly going to take him?
His value must be pretty low given this pathetic start.

Someone smart is going to offer us their version of Mike Carp straight up and say "he's hitting .205. What do you expect us to give you?"

Someone smart would realize that a cold streak doesn't mean he's finished and he's one of the best thridbasemen in the league

Trading him right now wouldn't get you what you could get
in two months after he heats up and is owed less money

Kiss your rotation spot goodbye, Carlos.

I'm going to laugh if Olsen shuts down the Royals
for the rest of the game.

If he does, I say we give him Silva's spot.

This truly is
My favorite memory from last year.
My only regret is that he didn’t smack Gerald Laird around a little, too.
the offseason sucks

Andy Baldwin?
Assuming we’re looking for a starter. Already called up Olson and Vargas.

Olson is going to kick ass
And we’re gonna come back.

Hey that's a quality start!
Oh shit, wrong way around.

Silva's consistently incompetent.
Waiting to spit out the "Doublemint Twins".

Olsen's control so far makes me want to cry.

8 strikes 3 balls
before the Bloomquist AB.

Ok, Olson is working out so well.
Maybe Vargas > Olson?

That way we could have won.

Crap, should have gone with that.

His slider looks ok.

And as a side note, that didn't even make sense.
If you’re going to utse TWSS, at least make it funny.

Can’t find one yet.

So, you know who's seriously underrated as a musician? Prince.
Fucking fantastic artist. Dirty Mind and 1999 are incredible albums.

I realize he's had a ton of commercial success.
But lots of folks just think of him as an R&B guy or a purple sex weirdo. He was deeply into new-wave and art-rock as well.

I dunno if he is underrated so much anymore
I think I’ve heard the whole “Prince is underrated” thing pretty often the last few years.

No kidding! I read somewhere he played all the intstruments on his early recordings, I don't know if this is true.

It's totally true, give or take a guest or two.
And not just his early recordings.
