At one point during tonight's game Goober said to Batgirl, "We're going to lose every game this year," and Batgirl said, "Except when Carlos Silva pitches." Some conversation then about Silva's general awesomeness and Jeb madly predicted he (Silva, not Jeb) would win 20 games this year and even mentioned something about flirting with the Jackal as his boyfriend.

Then we climb into the BatMobile, all deflated after another loss to the Powers That Bitch, and we learn:

Silva on Disabled List with Right Knee Tear

He'll be out at least 'til the All-star Break, maybe all year. And you just know it breaks his sweet little Jackal heart.

Joe Mays will take his spot in the rotation, and Dave Gassner will become the 5th starter.
