Butch, I know what a rosy guy you are normally, so this must be pretty bad to have you looking at it negatively.
But for the record, there is an enormous difference between seeing a silver lining and seeing something realistically. It's not great we got Silva. We aren't better because we got Silva. But we got back about what could be expected given the position Bradley put us in. That's being realistic, not optimistic.
