That is the serendipity that is baseball.<BR/><BR/>I want Nathan in, in the 9th inning because it's likely a done deal, yet worry that my heart cannot stand those 18-22 pitch adventures he sometimes produces.<BR/><BR/>It's like poker, the best player doesn't win every day, yet wins the most over time.<BR/><BR/>What do I know?

If he's bad, we're that much closer to Garza or Perkins in the rotation. If he's good -- well, then we have another season of a good, happy Carlos.JSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12207754797909843134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29090025.post-83501972697978843642007-03-29T20:49:00.000-06:002007-03-29T20:49:00.000-06:00I think you have the Silva situation about right. ...I think you have the Silva situation about right. We'll know soon enough what if anything it means.<BR/><BR/>I think we fans get so invested in the performance of the team and/or certain players, that even though they get paid a lot of money, we seem to forget most of them are humans.<BR/><BR/>Did you ever tighten up when the boss was looking over your shoulder, even if it's something you've done 1000 times before?<BR/><BR/>I will still continue to believe that the WBC was the root cause of Silva's problems last year. He started off horribly, then went from good to bad, never getting into a groove.<BR/><BR/>He would not be the first player to have a bad season and rebound. It will be interesting to see if he in fact rebounds.<BR/><BR/>RegardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
