How can the D-rays have a rivalry with anyone? ;)

they beat the snot out of Boston and New York, but can't beat anyone else. They have beaten both teams in games that were needed.
Re: Tavarez/Gathright fight
You punch another player during a game, you get a 10-game suspension. That should be a mandatory rule. Punching another player has no place in the game. It has happened many times in the game's history, but IMO a strict suspension should be administered. Then again we are talking about baseball leaders who chose to ignore steroids for a long time. So I won't hold my breath on the punching thing.
Personally I'd be scared to touch Julian Tavarez' face with my fist or anything else. Might get something scary on my fist that will never go away... and it ain't pretty!

That is so not true. The Rays beat the snot out of the Yankees, it's the Blue Jays who always beat the snot out of the Red Sox. But the D-Rays and Red Sox have a history of beanball wars that predates almost everyone currently affilitated with either team, and just seems to keep getting passed along for some reason. I think Julian Tavarez might just be a real crazy person, though.
Re: Tavarez/Gathright fight
anyone else think Tavarez punches like a girl? That was a brutal swing
Re: Tavarez/Gathright fight
But it was his right hand. He may be crazy, but I guess he's not stupid. If he punches the guy for real with his pitching hand, that would be stupid.
Re: Tavarez/Gathright fight
very good point blumj. I always tell our volatile closer on my team that when he fights to punch with his opposite hand. have to protect your goods

Speaking of dumb, it would have been really stupid if he took his frustration out on the wall and phone of the dugout during the playoffs and broke his pitching hand....oh wait, i guess he sort of learned his lesson
Re: Tavarez/Gathright fight
Was it tavarez who tried to dropkick that guy on the first baseline a few years back?
Re: Tavarez/Gathright fight
I heard Gathright spiked him first and the RS will be filing a complaint as well.

this also could mean his catcher in the minors was Crash Davis.
