Ex-Giant Report

Julian Tavarez thinks that the Nationals are a 600 lb woman at 4 a.m.. Given his looks and pitching abilities, I would say that the Nationals probably also required a few shots of tequila to brace themselves for "The Julian Experience".

Jason Schmidt is not going to be the fifth starter for the Dogs. That should surprise no one. But the guys that he lost the fifth starter job to should make you feel sorry for him: Eric Stultz, Eric Milton, Eric Roberts (okay, not really), Claudio Vargas and Shawn Freakin' Estes are all still in the running for the job. That list reads like like the Jeopardy answer to the question: "Who are four pitchers worse than Barry Zito?"

“I would like to be a starter, but it’s like my father said: ‘You want Jennifer Lopez, but does she want you? No.’ You just take whatever she is giving to you. So I just take whatever they give to me … They give to me as a long man, I take it as a long man. Set up man, I take it. Starter, I take it. I can do whatever.”

“I started it as a father to me:” I do not think so, I would like JENIFAROPESU What you want? I think not. … I do what people like me at the same time very long time I man. I understand the show. Default, the. What can you do. "

I thought that must be satire at first...

…but apparently he actually said all that.

Also, Jerome Williams got sent down by the As. Like Schmidt, I’m intrigued to see him pitch, even (especially?) against the Giants.

"Who are four pitchers worse than Barry Zito?"

If he drank enough beer, Julian Tavarez might end up asking that very question.

Julian Tavarez Off Topic

I lucked out and saw the first game of at PIttsburgh/St. Louis doubleheader in 2005 when I was there for a night meeting (read Lucinda Williams Concert).

Sat with a family of Cardinal fans. Julian gets tossed from the game for putting a foreign substance on the ball – and the family goes ballistic yelling at the ump (in proper midwestern G-rated language) “Golly Gee, Blue – He’s a Cardinal..not a cheater…”

I said – look: He was on our team for years and I can tell you without a doubt the guy likes to put a lil’ dab on the slider now and then. Once in a while you get caught.

They said: Your Team?!?

I showed them my Giants t-shirt.

They stared blankly and never addressed me for the rest of the game.

Ahhh.

Upside → I saw Julian get tossed out of a game at the old Busch Stadium!

They’re the Midwestern, religious, G-rated type who can’t be seen fraternizing with someone who associates himself with the sinfulness going down in San Francisco…

It quite possibly had nothing to do with baseball. Some people (religious type) are just intolerant.

Keeping on SWOOPing in the free world! Also, by the reflexive property of the rubber/glue playground comeback, I enjoy wearing hats on my ass.

Seeing the title...

Ex-Giant Report had me hesitant at first, then nervous as I clicked, then laughing the entire rest of the time! Great post!

Anybody get me tickets for Beer Goggles Night? hahaha

That’s more commonly referred to as bad judgment or poor taste.
