Actually his act got pretty old in STL. He was a complete jerk in the 04 playoffs.

 

I'm having flashbacks to when he had a great moment of futility in trying to destroy the bullpen phone.

I find it absolutely astounding that Tavarez can be the worst citizen in baseball for his entire career, hurling biggoted epithets, punching guys, refusing to hustle, you name it....

 

 

 

......yet when he was with St. Louis he was a model citizen. Everything was just great.

 

 

Cards fans: you are, without a doubt, the luckiest team in baseball.

I think Bonds is going to sign with the Cards, break the HR record, then somehow it will be proven the whole steroids mess was an elaborate vendetta by Conte because Bonds wouldn't help him sell a new multi-vitamin

exactly my thought. tavarez's career path

 

9 years of insanity and mediocre/inconsistant performance

2 years of relative calm and outstanding to really good performance

back to insanity before he even has a chance to become mediocre again.

How about this one: Farnsworth vs. Tavarez, who wins? Julian on the BoSox and Kyle on the Yankees, I think it could very well happen.

 

Let's compare.

 

Farnsworth

If you blocked out Tavarez's hand I would say he looked like he was going to slap Gathright and not punch him. Farnsworth is a middle linebacker wearing a baseball uniform and I would not want to see him running at me.

someday, i'll get a high res version of the farns/wilson picture blown up into a poster.

 

someday.

Is Tavy actually trying to punch him in that shot or is that before the punch when Gathwright was sliding into home?

that's during the windup of the "punch"

Man, I just laugh every time I see that top picture...crazy or not, the man knows how to kick some ass.

 

Beautiful work.

 

Farnsworth is one bad mammajamma. He also happens to get the best quotes from announcers

 

"He just rackytacky'd him around home plate"

 

"YOU KNEW ONCE BIG BOY GOT THERE IT WAS GON' BE ON!"

according to pti Joey Gathright asked Tavarez to meet him after the game to finish it there. tavarerz of course refused.

But he can punch someone while they're on the ground?

 

I love his quotes too. some garbage about being the first one to throw a punch wins. :roll:

 

What a grade A tool.

"Yeah, it just kind of glazed," Gathright said. "He hits like a woman."

 

Awesome.

 

this is hilarious

That is a classic quote!

 

Does anyone remember Julian in tears during his two World Series trips with the Indians ? It seemed like every time he left a game, he'd be on the bench crying about it.
