Wonders never cease.

My favorite Chicago Cubs pitcher is Carlos Silva. Maybe because he's a winner. His record is 5-0. With a team with a losing record. Silva knows how to pitch. He has a sinker. Which means the ball sinks. And hitters tend to hit the ball into the ground. Generally, that makes for easy fielding. The Cubs traded for Silva during the off-season. Got him from the Seattle Mariners. In exchange for troubled Cubs outfielder Milton Bradley. Bradley is a head case. With psychological problems. Silva had physical injuries while with Seattle. Anyway, Seattle and the Cubs traded their problem players. And so far, it's worked out best for the Cubs. And lo and behold, the Cubs have a 4-game winning streak. Goes to show that wonders never cease. --Jim Broede
