The Depths To Which We Have Sunk

If it's gotten so bad that we need to turn to Julian Tavarez to save the bullpen, then it's time to fire Frank and Bobby, punch Ted Turner in the junk for selling to AOL and trade everybody. And I mean everybody. EVERYBODY. This ruins my memory of watching him cry after game 6 of the 1995 World Series. Yes, one of my fondest memories is of watching a grown man cry. I'm a cruel inhuman monster, so what else is new. The Brewers picked up CC, The Cubs just got Harden and the best we can do is Tavarez. Oy.


On a completely unrelated note, when the hell did Homer The Brave turn into a bootleg Mr. Met?? I... I can feel only shame. Bring back Chief Noc-A-Homa and the Bleacher Creature!!!

Update: Tavarez got in the game tonight with the Braves up 9-1 in the ninth. The results:

Walk
Single
Single
Fielder's Choice - 2 runs score
Walk

in other words:

PYEWP.

Today hasn't been completely terrible though, the Braves massacred the Dodgers, gained a game back on the Phading Phillies and the Teixeira rumor mill apparently includes Kevin Youkilis. I'd trade Twenty Million Tex straight up for Youk right this second. Hell, I'd throw in Lillibridge and Acosta too to get that deal done. They'd have to coin a new word to describe my reaction to that, 'cause pywep wouldn't cut it.
