Julian Tavarez Puts On Beer Goggles, Signs With Nationals
We all get desperate sometimes. (Some more desperate than others.) But it's how you respond in those dark, angst ridden moments that defines you—and Julian Tavarez defines himself as not above slumming it. More »

Julian Tavarez, Still Crazy, Still Losing Stuff
Next month, we'll be heading to Fenway Park to see our Cardinals play the Red Sox. We've been trying to calm our parents down; they're a little afraid Boston fans will come after them for wearing Cardinals garb. We don't think so. Cardinals fans and Red Sox fans have always gotten along well, thanks mostly to the Cardinals' magnanimous decision to let Red Sox fans into Busch Stadium for free for the last few innings of the 2004 World Series. (We're so nice in St. Louis.) But also: We've both ridden the Julian Tavarez crazy train. More »

Julian Tavarez Is Crazy, Man, Crazy
As Cardinals fans, the level of enjoyment we derived from having Julian Tavarez on our team the last few years is exceeded only by the relief we felt when he left. Tavarez was an excellent setup man, but every relief appearance was fraught with peril: Is this the time he's going to snap? Every time Tavarez took the mound, you crossed your fingers: Blue wire, or red wire? Fingers crossed ... whew. Our favorite moment was the NLCS two years ago, when, a day after breaking his finger by punching a wall, he took a line drive back up the middle, right off that finger, and still got out of the inning. Exciting, effective, crazy ... but a little much sometimes. More » -

Athlete Run-In: Julian Tavarez's Rocket Arm
Today's first athlete run-in story is about one of our favorite insane athletes, (former) Cardinals reliever Julian Tavarez, a guy just crazy enough not only to break his hand punching a phone in a playoff game, but then come out the next night and try to catch a comebacker with that very same hand. It comes to us from Ryan from West Allis. More »
