I'm gonna miss Manny, Papi, and the city of Boston

That's what happens when your fastball moves slower than Rubin after four hours at the "all you can eat buffet".......

Yeah, I know he's been sucking, but I'm still going to miss this guy...



Who will replace him as the Sox's official enforcer?

Julian Tavarez is the most interesting man in baseball. Losing him is going to hurt my baseball-watching experiences.

Okay, I can't be that objective here, I like the guy too much. But WTF-he's FAR from the worst pitcher in the pen, and how the heck do they expect him to be effective when they've only pitched him every 2 weeks this season?

We'll miss you, Julian.

I am a Julian fan. Dude taught himself english in the three months between the time he found out he was drafted by MLB and when he was to report to camp.

How will they know what base to throw to without Jules directing traffic?

Tavarez is absolutely tapped -- moreso than just about any MLB pitcher of all time. Makes you wonder... if Ugueth Urbina can machete-and-gasoline-attack his hired help because they took a dip in his pool, what will Julian do once he's unemployed and disgruntled???

Why? I didn't think they spoke english in MLB clubhouses anymore.
