Sullivan reporting that there was a "scuffle in the Cubs dougout" after Silva was removed from the game today.

No other details yet.

You know who. It has to involve him somehow.

Hopefully this will end Silva's chance at getting in the rotation. Put him in the pen or cut him, but please keep him out of the rotation.

can't wait for the awful things to come, this is gonna be a train wreck of a season.

No matter how many fights this team has in the dugout, they will never match the unpredictability of the White Sox clubhouse.

Confirmed that Silva was involved in a "skirmish" and players had to be separated, but not clear with who he was havingthe problem. He has sent two Cubs reps out to tell the media he will not be talking about it.

There was a "catcher's interference" play in that inning involving Koyie Hill. Just a guess on my part at this point.

I believe the SCORE just said it was reported that Big Z had nothing to do with it.

So far, all games with crooked number errors committed...

Now a scuffle in the dugout....the FIRST week of spring training....

Umm yeah....so far so bad!

I hope he injured 3 and half finger Hill. This team needs a new backup Catcher.

They made 4 more errors today?? You'd have to hope they're getting them all out of their system early but unfortunately that's probably not the case here.

13 errors in four games? Wow.

Reported this was Silva and Aramis in an argument

Not sure there is a favorite in that one.

I wonder who will draft Drunk and Stupid. They've got a chance with that lineup.

Silva and Hill can both take a hike. Silva showed signs of having a shit attitude last year after some success. I've never heard a bad thing about Hill as a teammate on or off the field but I think his talent level is that of a non roster bullpen catcher. I hope Max Ramirez gets a legit shot at taking that backup job.

Silva is an overpaid tub of shit. Not liked by teamates as well. Find a way to get rid of this turd now. Ramirez will be the shit this year because it is contract time again and this will be his last big money shot. Will not be as a Cub however. HE gone at trade deadline when Cubs are 13 games under .500

I love when stereotypes are proven true - Thanks

This is a story I would like to know about! Too bad the reporters seem so busy when they are in Arizona!

Are these just meanigless errors by guys who I will never hear of again? or are these all Castro wild throws and ARAM "OLE! Plays?"

This is what happens when writers think they are part of the team and get lazy, Ya know what I mean KC Johnson?

Would you rather deal with Milton Bradley again?

No. Most Cubs fans would rather deal with a new front office and not a boob who thinks he smarter than everyone else by bringing in the likes of a Milton Bradley....who turns into a Silva. Crap = Crap = Hendry.

The Cubs got more out of Silva than most thought they ever would in the first half of the 2010 season. Hendry should have traded him at the All-Star break when he might have had the chance. I suggested it then, so it's not hindsight. At this point, I doubt he can be moved, short of giving him his outright release.

Go Cubs!!!!

Showing your smarts once again. Trade him last year, or release him this year. His money is still gonna have to be covered by the Cubs

_________________

The Cubs should have more "Tubs" that start the season 10-0. The guy wants to compete and does not tolerate careless play. That is a GOOD thing.

I don't remember reading a single report of a team that was interested in trading for Carlos Silva last season.
