Carlos Silva started last night and the first thought that I and many others had was ok, there’s a loss. Well, the final score was 5-3 with Houston coming out on top with two runs scored in the bottom of the 9th.

Yes, it was a loss but the goat of the game wasn’t Silva. The loser in this game was our old buddy Kyle Lohse. He gave up 3 hits, 2 runs, and 1 walk while getting no outs. Silva on the other hand had a decent line of 5 hits, 3 runs, 1 walk and 5 strikeouts.

Isn’t there anyone in the league that will take Lohse off our hands? There has to be someone out there that wants a young pitcher that has decent stuff but has never put it together. C’mon Kansas City. You like taking the garbage from the rest of the league. What will you offer? I’m thinking three packs of Big League Chew and a bottle of Gatorade.

Tonight Francisco Liriano faces Roger Clemens in Houston. My hope is that this game will be televised nationally. With the Rocket making his first start of the year, it’s probably a pretty good chance. This should be a really good game dominated by pitching of course.

I’m taking the Twins with a final score of 2-1.
