i ate 10 tacos next to jeff weaver last night

(VERY CRUCIAL ed. note added by cutter/paster/italicizer)

Ah! I think more sports pieces should have "ed." notes, because they'd probably be more interesting to read than what the columnist has to offer.

Given how great Weaver was back in the day (pre-pinstripes), I wonder if he pitches better when he's baked.

As crucial as adding "WHEN HEALTHY" to the statement "Miguel Cabrera is a dangerous hitter."

xpost

Since "WHEN HEALTHY" is actually more like "WHEN PLAYING" -- amirite?

I would love to see a list of hitters that are dangerous WHEN INJURED.

Am I not baked or not... uh... are I baked or am I not to be baked... uh... that is the... I mean, am I baked or not? That's what I mean.

This thread is like a Mobius strip wrapped in a warm flour tortilla.

I would love to see a list of hitters that are dangerous WHEN INJURED.

I think Alex in SF mentioned something about Pujols not being fully healthy in the past 4-5 seasons.

Aw, Mike Sciosia is trying to assemble a rally monkey with Jared Weaver parts.

Why is Edwin Jackson giving a speech to the D-Ray pitchers? Was Doug Waechter unavailable?

And why is Jose Contreras jerking off?

I'll ask my mom.

I mean ask her to translate, that is.

hahaha omg

o_O

So weird.

The TV broadcast of the 60 minutes Bill James segment used Jeff Weaver clips to show:

1. the significance of walks (Taco Time 3:05)
2. that Fenway favors lefties (epic taco served to J.D. Drew (Taco Time 8:00).

But the embed on CBS's website (linked by Morbs here) edited out Taco Time.

!!

*creeeepy Taco Bell tolling*

The CBS website has no MLB footage at all. It was resynced with Spring Training footage.

Hooray for copyright and the crafty, taco-munching lawyers at MLB.com. :)

I just learned via text message that my japanese language partner had dinner (10 nigirizushi?) next to Hideki Okajima last night in SF.

crafty, taco-munching lawyers

mmmmm . . . rights (munch munch)

Brewers Assistant General Manager Gord Ash confirmed on Wisconsin's Morning News that the Brewers have signed free-agent pitcher Jeff Weaver.

Best beer to go w/ tacos?

fitting that they would sign the Gord Ash of pitchers.

TACO WATCH 2008 CONTINUES:

How bad would it be for the Brewers to just bring Jeff Weaver up right now? His 2007 6.20 ERA/career 4.72 ERA, looks pretty good after the Suppan/Turnbow fire + gasoline combo.

NASHVILLE - Weaver was told he was being called up to plug Milwaukee's ailing bullpen in a 2 a.m. phone call, and flew all morning to reach Wrigley Field 2 1/2 hours before game time. "I had no clue," said Weaver, a a 31-year-old former starter for the Tigers, Yankees, Dodgers, Angels, Cardinals, and Mariners. "I was eating tacos at my favorite taqueria in Music Row, getting ready to honky tonk with my friend Mindy (McCready) -- she's been a little down lately -- when they told me I was getting moved. I assumed Scott (Boras) was flipping me to another Triple-A team again," he said. "They said, 'No, the big leagues.' Oh, OK."

Weaver held the Cubs to a mere 3 runs over 4 innings, giving up only 4 walks and 1 home run, and successfully getting some consecutive batters out. "Thank god," Brewers manager Ned Yost commented.

ha hah hahaa

A narrator describes a phone ringing in the White House Bullpen: "It's 3 a.m. a total blowout and your children starters are safely asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?"

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - The Milwaukee Brewers released pitcher Jeff Weaver from Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

In nine starts for Nashville, Weaver was 2-4 with a 6.22 earned run average. The right-hander had a clause in his contract that allowed him to elect for free agency if he was not in the major leagues by June 15.

Weaver, who has played parts of 11 major league seasons for six different teams, has a career ERA of 4.72 with a 93-114 record.

He shd really hook up w/ Jim Bowden -- they'd be like Starsky & Hutch, but with roach clips and bottles of Mad Dog. And a Segway.

BUFFALO

Reunited with HS pitching coach Scott Radinsky.

DODGERS AGREE TO TERMS WITH RIGHT-HANDER JEFF WEAVER ON MINOR LEAGUE CONTRACT
WITH AN INVITATION TO MAJOR LEAGUE SPRING TRAINING
Left-hander Shawn Estes and right-handers Ronald Belisario, Charlie Haeger, and Tanyon Sturtze
also agree to terms on minor league deals with invitations to big league camp

LOS ANGELES – The National League West Division Champion Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to terms with right-hander Jeff Weaver on a minor league contract with an invitation to Major League spring training. The club has also agreed to terms with left-hander Shawn Estes and right-handers Ronald Belisario, Charlie Haeger, and Tanyon Sturtze on minor league deals with invitations to big league camp. General Manager Ned Colletti made the announcement.

Weaver is a veteran of nine Major League seasons, including two with the Dodgers from 2004-05. Weaver, whom the Dodgers acquired from the Yankees in the Kevin Brown deal, went 27-24 with a 4.11 ERA in 68 starts while in a Dodger uniform. He is 93-114 with a 4.72 ERA in 284 games (267 starts) overall with Detroit (1999-2002), New York Yankees (2002-03), Los Angeles Dodgers (2004-05), Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (2006), St. Louis (2006), and Seattle (2007).

The Fullerton native has appeared in four postseasons, including one World Series in 2006 with St. Louis. He went 1-1 with a 2.77 ERA (4 ER/13.0 IP) in two Fall Classic starts, and was the winning pitcher in the Cardinals’ Game 5 clincher over Detroit at Busch Stadium. In nine postseason appearances (six starts) overall, he is 3-4 with a 4.03 ERA (17 ER/38.0 IP).

Weaver was a first-round pick of Detroit in the 1998 draft, going 14th overall. His brother Jered pitches for the Angels.
